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 commercial solar requests in the area come from:

  • Family homes: small home-office or shop-front systems on a family house that doubles as a workplace
  • Shops, offices and schools: shops, offices, schools and clinics using rooftop panels to cut daytime grid use and cover outages
  • Factories and warehouses: large factory and warehouse roofs, carports and grid-tied arrays sized to heavy daytime machinery loads
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: packhouses, dairies and workshops running on daytime solar, often with a generator as backup
  • Townhouses and flats: body corporate systems that power lifts, lighting and water pumps in the common areas
  • Estate homes: clubhouse, gatehouse and common-area systems that offset the estate's daytime lighting and pump loads

Why get a quote in Randfontein first?

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Randfontein?
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.

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 Randfontein?
A north-facing array in Randfontein 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.
