Solar in Randburg

Randburg gets strong Highveld sunshine through the dry winter, with hot summers and thunderstorms in the afternoons. Electricity is supplied by City Power, and homeowners who add a grid-tied or hybrid system must register it with the City of Johannesburg before connecting. The suburbs have many mid-century face-brick houses with concrete tile or corrugated roofs, plus townhouse clusters and a commercial strip around Fontainebleau. Older roofs may need inspection before panels go on, and wiring in older homes may need upgrading for a new Certificate of Compliance. Mature trees can shade parts of a roof. Solar geysers, hybrid backup for load-shedding and small business rooftops are the usual requests.

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Randburg?
It depends on the size of the system, the equipment chosen, the roof, the distance from the inverter to the distribution board, the paperwork for your electricity supplier and how soon you need it done. Tick your loads on the form and a commercial solar installer working in Randburg will quote you.
Will someone come out to look at the property?
Yes, for most jobs. The person quoting needs to see the roof, its direction and shading, the distribution board and where the inverter and batteries will go. Give your suburb on the form and they will arrange a visit.
How much sun is there in Randburg?
A north-facing array in Randburg makes about 5.2 kWh per kWp a day averaged over the year. Shade from trees or neighbours, the roof angle and dust change this, so the installer will check your roof.
