Generators in Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch combines a university town, a busy technology park and some of the country's best-known wine estates, which gives generator work a varied mix. Cellars and tasting rooms need power for pumps, refrigeration and point of sale, while estates hire quiet sets for weddings and festivals. University buildings, laboratories, research servers and Technopark offices use standby units on automatic changeover. Student houses and homes in Die Boord and Paradyskloof keep inverter generators for load-shedding. Hot summers and wet winters test cooling systems and electrics, and dust from farm roads clogs filters. Technicians cover the winelands from Stellenbosch, Somerset West and Paarl.
