Backing up in Mthatha
Mthatha is the main service town for a large rural area, and power here reaches people in two ways: King Sabata Dalindyebo Municipality supplies the town, while Eskom supplies many surrounding villages and farms directly. Long rural lines, storms, lightning and cable theft mean outages can be frequent and long in parts. The hospitals, clinics, government offices and university bring demand for UPS units and bigger systems, while shops along the main roads want tills and fridges on backup. Homes in Northcrest and Southernwood ask for inverters, and in the villages many families rely on a portable power station or a small solar kit. Lightning is a serious risk here, so ask about surge protection.
Typical lithium batteries requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a 5 kWh lithium battery behind the inverter to carry lights, wifi and the fridge
- Clinics, surgeries and care homes: lithium backup for a surgery's essentials and home devices such as CPAP machines
- Offices and home offices: lithium storage behind an inverter so computers, network and phones stay up
