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.
