Solar in Randburg

Randburg gets strong Highveld sunshine through the dry winter, with hot summers and thunderstorms in the afternoons. Electricity is supplied by City Power, and homeowners who add a grid-tied or hybrid system must register it with the City of Johannesburg before connecting. The suburbs have many mid-century face-brick houses with concrete tile or corrugated roofs, plus townhouse clusters and a commercial strip around Fontainebleau. Older roofs may need inspection before panels go on, and wiring in older homes may need upgrading for a new Certificate of Compliance. Mature trees can shade parts of a roof. Solar geysers, hybrid backup for load-shedding and small business rooftops are the usual requests.
