Solar in Pretoria

Pretoria lies in a sheltered valley that runs warmer than Johannesburg, with plentiful sunshine, mild dry winters and hot summers. The City of Tshwane supplies most of the metro, with Eskom serving some outlying areas, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered with the municipality. Typical roofs are concrete tile and IBR on houses, with flat concrete roofs on townhouses, government offices and university buildings. Summer storms bring hail and lightning, and older suburbs often have mature trees that cast shade, so panel placement needs care. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and eastern-suburb estates with large rooftops are popular, and industrial areas such as Silverton look at commercial arrays.

Typical farm solar systems requests in the area come from:

  • Family homes: small plots and home-based farm stalls running a modest hybrid system and a borehole pump
  • Estate homes: equestrian and wine estates powering stables, cellars and gate motors with roof and ground arrays
  • Townhouses and flats: lifestyle farm cottages and complexes using small shared systems for lighting and water pumps
  • Shops, offices and schools: farm shops, packhouses and guest lodges using daytime solar and batteries for tills and refrigeration
  • Factories and warehouses: processing plants, grain silos and large cold stores with big roof or ground arrays tied to the grid
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: irrigation, boreholes, dairies and cold rooms running on ground-mounted arrays with battery or generator backup

Why get a quote in Pretoria first?

What to include in your request

  • List pumps and motors with their kW ratings

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

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Pretoria?
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 solar installer working in Pretoria 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 Pretoria?
A north-facing array in Pretoria makes about 5.3 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.
