Midrand notes on backup systems & services
In Kyalami and Glen Austin many plots run a borehole pump, a pressure tank and an electric fence, so installers size the inverter for motor surge and suggest a battery large enough to pump in the morning. Offices in Waterfall and along Allandale Road ask about 3 phase business backup for floors and server rooms. If your plot is on Eskom supply, ask how that affects any grid-tie plans.
Midrand: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Midrand sits between Johannesburg and Pretoria, and its supply is split: City Power serves much of it, while Eskom supplies parts such as some smallholdings and older areas directly. That mix, plus fast building in Waterfall, Noordwyk and Carlswald, puts strain on local substations and cables. The result is a wide range of clients. Smallholders in Glen Austin and Blue Hills want borehole pumps and electric fences kept running. New apartment blocks need gate and lift lobby backup. Offices and logistics sites along the N1 corridor ask for UPS systems and larger 3 phase banks. Find out who supplies your property before you plan grid-tie solar, because the rules differ.
Typical inverter and battery installation requests in the area come from:
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: installs in units that follow body corporate rules on mounting, noise and cable routes
- Offices and home offices: an inverter wired to office circuits after hours so work is not interrupted
- Homeowners: an inverter and battery fitted on an essential circuit, with a CoC, in a day
