Cabling conditions in East London

East London is a river port with a strong automotive industry. A vehicle assembly plant and component makers in the industrial development zone need three-phase supplies, armoured cable and regular maintenance. The city sits on the coast, so homes in Nahoon, Gonubie and the Quigney feel the effect of salt air on outdoor lights, gate motors and pool pumps. Buffalo City Metro supplies most of the urban area, and ageing municipal infrastructure has made many owners invest in solar and backup batteries. Older homes near the Buffalo River often need rewiring to current standards before they can be sold.

Typical solar cable requests in the area come from:

Factories and workshops: factories use larger solar cable sizes on big warehouse roof arrays and combiner boxes
Homeowners: homeowners wire rooftop panels to a hybrid inverter to ride through load-shedding
Coastal properties: coastal installs use tinned-copper solar cable and sealed connectors against salt corrosion
Solar and backup power: solar installers buy 4mm and 6mm red and black cable by the drum for every install
Shops and retail: shopping centres wire large rooftop arrays to cut daytime electricity costs
