Backup systems & services in Pretoria: local notes
Houses in Faerie Glen, Lynnwood and Menlo Park often run a pool pump, a borehole and a big fridge freezer, so installers here usually propose a 5 kVA or 8 kW hybrid inverter on an essential circuit and leave the pool pump off. Factories in Rosslyn and Silverton ask about 3 phase systems for offices and control rooms. Ask what changes the installer will make to the DB board before you sign.
Power in Pretoria
The City of Tshwane supplies most of Pretoria, with Eskom serving some areas on the northern and western edges directly. Interruptions here tend to come from overloaded mini-substations in fast growing eastern suburbs, cable theft and the violent thunderstorms that roll in on summer afternoons. Pretoria sits lower than Johannesburg and gets warmer, so a battery bolted to a west facing garage wall in Moreleta Park or Garsfontein can run hot in January. Families in the east want whole house essentials covered, embassies and guest houses in Arcadia and Waterkloof ask for quiet systems, and the student flats of Hatfield and Sunnyside lean on small UPS units and power stations for study.
Typical hybrid inverters requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: an 8 kW hybrid running essentials on battery, with solar panels added later
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: hybrids for the clubhouse, gatehouse and borehole pump with panels on the common roofs
- Offices and home offices: a hybrid carrying computers and lights, with solar trimming the daytime electricity bill
