Upington: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Upington has some of the strongest sunshine in the country, and that shapes every backup power conversation here. Solar panels charge batteries well, but the same heat is hard on battery banks and inverters left in hot sheds or under tin roofs. The Dawid Kruiper Municipality supplies the town, buying from Eskom, while Eskom supplies many farms and settlements along the Orange River directly over long lines. Storms, lightning and faults on those long lines cause outages. Grape, raisin and date farms near Kanoneiland and Keimoes want irrigation pumps and packhouse fridges covered. Homes in town back up aircon fans, lights and wifi, and lodges want guests comfortable through an outage.
