Solar in Sandton

Sandton enjoys the clear Highveld sun that most of Johannesburg does, with bright, dry winters and summer storms. It is supplied mainly by City Power, with Eskom serving a few pockets, and grid-tied and hybrid systems must be registered and approved before they are switched on. The skyline of offices and apartment towers has roofs and podiums that are often shaded or crowded with plant, so layout needs design input. Large houses behind high walls have tile, slate or flat roofs that suit hybrid systems with sizeable batteries. Body corporates and sectional-title schemes need trustees to approve solar. Hail and lightning call for sturdy mounting and surge protection.

Typical commercial solar requests in the area come from:

  • Townhouses and flats: body corporate systems that power lifts, lighting and water pumps in the common areas
  • Shops, offices and schools: shops, offices, schools and clinics using rooftop panels to cut daytime grid use and cover outages
  • Estate homes: clubhouse, gatehouse and common-area systems that offset the estate's daytime lighting and pump loads
  • Family homes: small home-office or shop-front systems on a family house that doubles as a workplace
  • 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

Why get a quote in Sandton first?

No two solar jobs in Sandton are the same. A quote based on your details shows the real cost of the panels, inverter, batteries, mounting, cabling, protection, labour, the Certificate of Compliance and registration, so you can budget properly and avoid surprises.

What to include in your request

  • State your average monthly kWh and when you trade
  • Say whether the supply is single or three phase
  • Describe the roof type, age and approximate area
  • List what must keep running during outages
  • Mention if you rent the building and need landlord consent

The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Sandton?
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 Sandton 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 Sandton?
A north-facing array in Sandton 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.
