Solar in Benoni

Benoni sits on the eastern Highveld with plenty of sunshine, dry winters and summer thunderstorms that can bring hail. It falls under Ekurhuleni, which requires embedded generation such as grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered and approved before they run. Many lakeside and family-suburb houses date from the 1960s and 1970s and have concrete tile or corrugated roofs that should be inspected before panels go on, with wiring that may need upgrading to get a new Certificate of Compliance. Newer estates toward Rynfield have modern tiled roofs. Hybrid backup against load-shedding, solar geysers and light-industrial rooftops in Benoni and Brakpan are the usual requests from this area.
