SolarPanel.co.za is a free quote service for solar power in South Africa. Whether you want backup through power cuts, a smaller electricity bill, hot water from the sun or water from a borehole without a grid connection, one request reaches the people who do this work near you.

How it works

Tell us what you need on the form: panels, a backup system, a solar geyser, a borehole pump or a repair. Add your area and, if you like, tick the loads you want to keep running. We send your request to installers or suppliers who work where you are, and they quote you directly. You compare and decide. It costs you nothing.

Every part of a solar system, through the day

Topics are laid out as a solar day: panels and mounting at first light, whole systems in the morning, inverters and batteries at midday when the surplus is stored, solar geysers and pool heating through the afternoon, pumps and lights towards evening, and the installers and services that keep it all running.

Getting a solar quote that you can compare

Solar quotes differ in more than price. Check the panel and inverter make and model, the battery chemistry and usable kWh, the mounting for your roof type, the warranty on equipment and on workmanship, whether the Certificate of Compliance and SSEG registration are included, and who you call if something stops working. Two or three quotes on the same details make the differences easy to see.

Frequently asked questions

Does SolarPanel.co.za install solar systems?
No. We are a free quote service. You send one request and we pass it to independent solar installers and suppliers who work in your area. They contact you directly. We don't sell, supply or install anything, and there is no obligation.
What size solar system do I need?
It depends on what you want to run, for how long, and how many units you use a month. Tick your loads on the quote form, or use the solar calculator, and installers will confirm the size from your bill and roof.
Do I need permission to install solar panels?
Any system that connects to the grid, including most hybrid systems, must be registered with or approved by your municipality or Eskom, and the installation needs an electrical Certificate of Compliance. See compliance and registration.
Which areas do installers cover?
All nine provinces, from Johannesburg and Pretoria to Cape Town, Durban, Gqeberha, Bloemfontein and Polokwane, and farms in between. See all areas.
