Cabling conditions in Upington
Upington has some of the highest solar radiation in the world, and large solar farms in the region have brought specialist contractors and demand for DC and medium-voltage cable. Along the Orange River, table-grape and raisin vineyards depend on irrigation pumps, packhouses and cold stores linked by long underground feeds. Summer temperatures are extreme, so cable must be derated for heat, shaded where possible and protected from UV. Dawid Kruiper Municipality supplies the town, and many homeowners have installed rooftop solar. Rocky, gravelly soil makes trenching slow, and long rural distances add to delivery and installation costs.

Typical battery cable requests in the area come from:
- Solar and backup power: solar installers make up 35mm and 50mm battery leads for every inverter installation
- Farms and smallholdings: farms wire battery banks for off-grid homes, borehole pumps and tractors
- Homeowners: homeowners link lithium batteries to a hybrid inverter for load-shedding backup
- Factories and workshops: factories use heavy battery cable for forklifts, standby systems and large battery banks
- Builders and developers: builders allow for battery cable routes and space when planning backup power in new homes
