Upington notes on backup systems & services
Farms along the Orange River near Kanoneiland, Louisvale and Keimoes ask for hybrid inverters with solar to run irrigation pumps and packhouse fridges. In Upington town and Paballelo, homes want a 5 kVA hybrid inverter that carries fans, wifi and lights. Lodges and guesthouses near Schröder Street want backup for kitchens. Ask the installer how the inverter will be shaded and cooled.
Upington: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Upington has some of the strongest sunshine in the country, and that shapes every backup power conversation here. Solar panels charge batteries well, but the same heat is hard on battery banks and inverters left in hot sheds or under tin roofs. The Dawid Kruiper Municipality supplies the town, buying from Eskom, while Eskom supplies many farms and settlements along the Orange River directly over long lines. Storms, lightning and faults on those long lines cause outages. Grape, raisin and date farms near Kanoneiland and Keimoes want irrigation pumps and packhouse fridges covered. Homes in town back up aircon fans, lights and wifi, and lodges want guests comfortable through an outage.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: borehole and irrigation pumps, cold rooms and electric fences on 3 phase backup
- Homeowners: a home business or guesthouse needing more than a standard house backup package
- Shops, restaurants and salons: tills, card machines, lights, display fridges and the alarm kept running through outages
