Backup systems & services in Cape Town: local notes
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.
Backing up in Cape Town
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.
The requests we see from Cape Town usually come from:
- Homeowners: a lithium trolley rolled into the lounge for the TV, wifi and lamps
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: a trolley for a rented flat where the landlord or body corporate allows no wiring
- Offices and home offices: a trolley beside a small office desk running the router, laptop and a lamp
