Cape Town notes on backup systems & services
Townhouses in Claremont and Rondebosch often need a compact inverter mounted in a garage or utility room. Hybrid systems with solar are popular in Pinelands and Bergvliet; if the inverter connects to the supply, check with the City about registration before it is switched on. Businesses in Montague Gardens and Epping ask for 3 phase systems on critical loads, and repair workshops in Paarden Eiland see wind and storm damage.
Cape Town: the supply, the weather and the buildings
The City of Cape Town supplies most of the metro, with Eskom supplying some areas directly. The wind is the local troublemaker: south-easters in summer and cold-front storms in winter bring down lines and trip feeders, and cable theft and substation faults add to the outages in parts. Townhouse complexes in the southern suburbs and the Atlantic seaboard ask for inverters that fit in small spaces, and businesses in Woodstock, Epping and Montague Gardens ask for UPS units and office backup. Many households in Claremont and Rondebosch add solar to a hybrid system. Wet winters and salt air near the coast are hard on equipment, so ask installers how the kit is protected.
Typical inverter and battery packages requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a 5 kVA inverter with 5 or 10 kWh of lithium battery for the essentials
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: matched packages for each unit so the body corporate keeps one standard across the complex
- Offices and home offices: a packaged inverter and battery for a small practice's computers, network and lights
