Backing up in Tzaneen
Tzaneen is surrounded by subtropical farms: avocados, bananas, mangoes, citrus and nuts in the Letsitele valley and on the slopes up to Magoebaskloof. That makes farms one of the biggest buyers of backup power here. The Greater Tzaneen Municipality supplies parts of the town, and Eskom supplies many farms and villages directly over long lines through hills and plantations, which storms, lightning and falling trees can bring down. Packhouses and cold rooms cannot be left warm for long, and irrigation pumps stop when the power does. In town, homes and guesthouses back up essentials. The heat and humidity of the Lowveld valleys mean ventilated, shaded battery rooms.
The requests we see from Tzaneen usually come from:

- Homeowners: an 8 kW hybrid running essentials on battery, with solar panels added later
- Shops, restaurants and salons: a hybrid keeping tills and fridges on through outages, with panels on the shop roof
