Stellenbosch: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Three very different clients shape backup power here. Stellenbosch Municipality supplies the town, with Eskom on some farms and outlying areas, and outages come from winter storms, wind, cable theft and faults, and long farm lines can be slow to restore. The university, Technopark's tech businesses and the wine estates set the mix: student digs want router UPS units and power stations, offices want UPS units and servers on backup, and cellars want 3 phase systems on pumps and cold rooms. Homes in Die Boord, Uniepark and Mostertsdrift ask for inverters with lithium banks. Winters are wet and cold and summers hot, so ask about where the battery should go.
The requests we see from Stellenbosch usually come from:
- Homeowners: a mini UPS on the bookshelf keeping the router and fibre box online
- Farms and smallholdings: a router UPS for the farmhouse LTE router and the wireless link to the shed
- Offices and home offices: a mini UPS for the router so VoIP phones and email stay connected
