Power in Ladysmith
Ladysmith sits in a hot Klip River valley below the Drakensberg, and Alfred Duma Municipality supplies the town, with Eskom serving Ezakheni and much of the surrounding farmland. People here plan backup around summer storms, lightning, flooding near the river, cable theft and faults on long country lines. The main requests are inverter systems for houses in the older suburbs, battery backup for shops in the CBD and borehole and fence backup on cattle and maize farms towards Colenso and Elandslaagte. The Ezakheni industrial area adds factory requests. Summer heat in tin-roofed garages and lightning over the Drakensberg are the two cautions installers raise most, so ask about ventilation and surge protection.
