Cabling conditions in Pretoria

Pretoria's electricity is mostly supplied by the City of Tshwane, with some outlying areas on Eskom, so connection upgrades and meter changes start with the right utility. Older face-brick homes in Brooklyn, Waterkloof and Lynnwood often need rewiring, larger supply cables and new DB boards when owners add air-conditioning, heat pumps or solar. Government departments, embassies, hospitals and universities generate institutional cabling and network work. The east of the city keeps expanding with new estates and complexes. Rocky ridges and hard ground in many suburbs affect trenching, and frequent summer lightning makes earthing and surge protection a sensible part of any installation here.

Typical solar cable requests in the area come from:

Homeowners: homeowners wire rooftop panels to a hybrid inverter to ride through load-shedding
Offices: office parks run 6mm solar cable from carport and roof arrays to string inverters
Solar and backup power: solar installers buy 4mm and 6mm red and black cable by the drum for every install
Complexes and body corporates: complexes run solar cable from shared roof arrays to inverters powering common areas
Municipal and public works: municipalities wire solar streetlights, clinics and public buildings with PV cable
Builders and developers: developers pre-wire new homes with solar cable routes ready for future panels
