What solar is worth at this location
Umhlanga, Durban averages 4.9 kWh/m²/day across the year, dropping to 3.6 in June. On those figures a 5 kW array with a 5 kWh battery - the most commonly quoted household system in South Africa - generates roughly 14.0 kWh on an average winter day, 23.4 kWh in summer, and about 6 975 kWh a year. Durban has the lowest annual irradiance of the major metros, so a Durban array needs roughly 15 percent more installed kW than a Bloemfontein one to produce the same units. It also has the country's worst combination for equipment life: salt air plus year-round humidity. Inverters mounted in an unventilated garage on the coastal strip fail early, and eThekwini requires its own embedded-generation application with a compliant bi-directional meter.

This listing has not been claimed by Saylite. It was compiled from public business records and the company's own published material, then checked for internal consistency. We publish it because an incomplete listing that says so is more useful than no listing at all, but treat every field as unverified until the business confirms it.
Not on file for this business: installed brands. Those are gaps in our record, not necessarily gaps in the business.
Ratings and review counts shown are the public Google figures at the time of our last refresh and will drift. Something wrong here? Claim the listing or tell us and we will correct it.
