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.

Solar and backup power: solar installers buy 4mm and 6mm red and black cable by the drum for every install

Homeowners: homeowners wire rooftop panels to a hybrid inverter to ride through load-shedding
Factories and workshops: factories use larger solar cable sizes on big warehouse roof arrays and combiner boxes
Builders and developers: developers pre-wire new homes with solar cable routes ready for future panels
