Solar in Middelburg

Middelburg is a Highveld town with sunny, frosty winters and hot summers, and storms on summer afternoons that bring hail and lightning. Electricity is supplied by the Steve Tshwete Local Municipality in town and by Eskom around it, and a grid-tied or hybrid system must be registered with whichever applies. Steel and mining businesses have large sheeted roofs that suit commercial solar, while older family homes have tile or corrugated roofs and want hybrid backup and solar geysers. The surrounding farms use solar for borehole pumps, dairies, sheds and cold rooms, often on gravel roads far from town. Ask installers about hail ratings and insurance.

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.
