Solar in Randfontein

Randfontein is a West Rand mining town with sunny Highveld winters, hot summers and thunderstorms that bring hail and lightning. Electricity is supplied by the Rand West City municipality in town and by Eskom in some outlying areas, so confirm which supplier applies before you apply for approval of a grid-tied or hybrid system. Established suburbs have face-brick houses with tiled or corrugated roofs, while industrial sites and workshops have large sheeted roofs suited to commercial arrays. Dust from mine dumps settles on panels, so cleaning access is worth planning. Smallholdings towards Westonaria often want borehole pumps, solar geysers and hybrid backup because supply can be patchy.

Typical backup power systems requests in the area come from:

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

  • List the appliances you must keep running
