Heating Systems
Solar in the Cape Town City Bowl
Solar PV and solar thermal paired with heat pumps and HVAC for genuinely low running costs.
Solar is at its best when it powers the loads you can shift. Pair PV with a hot-water heat pump, a pool pump and daytime aircon and you're using your own generation instead of exporting it. We design the two together rather than bolting panels onto an unexamined system.
- PV sizing matched to HVAC and heat pump load profiles
- Solar thermal collectors and heat pump hybrids
- Timer and controller logic to run plant on generation
- Roof assessment for City Bowl wind exposure and heritage constraints
- Load-shedding resilience planning
System anatomy
What we inspect, and why it matters
Array
Orientation and the south-easter dictate mounting design in the Bowl.
Load scheduling
The real saving comes from moving heating and pool loads into sunlight hours.
Storage
Sized to what must stay on, not to a round number.
