Power in Upington
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.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: a kit for a remote farm workshop, outbuilding lights or a hunting camp
- Homeowners: a kit for lights, wifi and phones that recharges on the stoep during long outages
- Shops, restaurants and salons: a kit for market stalls, food trucks and pop-up shops with no plug point nearby
