Solar in Alberton

Alberton enjoys clear, sunny Highveld weather, with cold dry winter nights and hot summers with afternoon storms. Electricity is supplied by Ekurhuleni, and grid-tied and hybrid systems must be registered and approved by the metro before connection. Established suburbs such as Brackenhurst and Meyersdal, golf estates and townhouse complexes mostly have tiled roofs, while the industrial and commercial area around Alrode has large flat and sheeted roofs suited to commercial arrays. Estates and body corporates often require written approval for panels and batteries, so ask early. Hail and lightning are summer concerns. Hybrid systems for load-shedding backup and solar geysers are the main residential interest, and many industrial sites consider rooftop PV.

Typical backup power systems requests in the area come from:

  • Estate homes: larger home systems with neat battery cabinets that meet estate rules and cover security and fibre during outages
  • Family homes: a wall-mounted inverter and lithium battery keeping lights, Wi-Fi, fridge and gate motor on during outages
  • Townhouses and flats: compact inverter and battery units for flats and townhouses, often needing body corporate approval
  • Factories and warehouses: three-phase backup for controls, cold chain and security, with generator integration for essential production
  • Shops, offices and schools: battery backup for tills, card machines, servers, alarms and lights so trading carries on during load-shedding
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: backup for homesteads, milk tanks, pumps and security, usually with generator support for long outages
