Cabling conditions in Newcastle
Newcastle grew around steel and coal. A large steelworks, coke and chemical plants, and many textile and clothing factories use heavy three-phase supplies, armoured feeders and plenty of maintenance cable. Coal mining in the surrounding area and the nearby Majuba power station add industrial demand. Highveld-style summer thunderstorms bring frequent lightning, while winters are cold and frosty. Newcastle Local Municipality supplies the town, and cable theft and vandalism of municipal infrastructure are ongoing concerns. Residential work in Madadeni, Osizweni and the older suburbs focuses on rewiring, prepaid meter connections and backup power installations.

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
- Mines and quarries: mines use solar cable on ground-mounted arrays supplying offices and remote sites
- Homeowners: homeowners wire rooftop panels to a hybrid inverter to ride through load-shedding
- Municipal and public works: municipalities wire solar streetlights, clinics and public buildings with PV cable
- Shops and retail: shopping centres wire large rooftop arrays to cut daytime electricity costs
