What to know locally in Paarl
Tasting rooms in Simondium and along the R45 lose sales when the card machine goes dark, so a small UPS on the till and router is often the first purchase. Main Road shops in Paarl and Wellington do the same. Farms towards Franschhoek give the electric fence energiser its own battery so security holds through a cut. In Mbekweni, a rechargeable lamp and a router UPS are the usual start before anything bigger.
Backing up in Paarl
Paarl and Wellington are supplied by Drakenstein Municipality, with Eskom supplying many of the farms in the valley directly. Winter storms, wind, cable theft and faults on long farm lines are the usual causes of cuts. Wine farms and fruit packers need backup on cold rooms, pumps and cellar equipment, so the bigger requests are for 3 phase systems and generators alongside battery banks. Homes on the slopes of Paarl Mountain and in Courtrai and Denneburg ask for inverters to run lights, wifi and the gate. Summers in the Berg River valley are hot, and garages heat up fast, so ask where the battery will go.
Typical portable power stations requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a power station in the lounge running wifi, lights, the TV and phone chargers
- Farms and smallholdings: a station for the farmhouse, the bakkie or a remote camp without mains power
- Shops, restaurants and salons: a station behind the counter running the card machine, till, router and lights
