Solar in Centurion

Centurion gets excellent Highveld sunshine, with dry, bright winters and hot summers broken by afternoon storms. The area falls under the City of Tshwane, so grid-tied and hybrid systems need registration and approval with the municipality, and estates often add their own rules. Most homes are modern double-storey houses with concrete tile roofs inside security and golf estates, along with large townhouse complexes and business parks near Samrand and Route 21. Body corporates and homeowners associations usually need to approve panels, so check this early. Hail and lightning are real risks in summer. Hybrid systems with lithium batteries and solar geysers are common here, and business parks look at large rooftop installations.
