The provinces with the highest solar power production potential in South Africa are the Northern Cape, Free State, and North West, while the lowest potential production is in KwaZulu-Natal.Installing solar power in South Africa is generally a good idea, particularly in light of declining panel, inverter, and battery prices over the past year.
Two other provinces with high levels of sunshine are the North West and Free State, with annual sunshine hours of 3,176. While these provinces also experience plenty of cloudless days, they are not as arid as the Northern Cape. Thirteen Gauteng suburbs topped LookSee’s list of the top 30 suburbs with the highest solar production in the three most populated provinces. Two suburbs in KwaZulu-Natal also performed better than the best-performing suburbs in the Western Cape.
