Solar in Gauteng

Gauteng sits on the sunny Highveld, with clear, dry winter days and strong sun for most of the year. Power comes from several suppliers: City Power in Johannesburg, City of Tshwane, Ekurhuleni and a number of smaller municipalities, with Eskom serving some outer areas. Each one requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered or approved before they are connected. Roofs range from concrete tile and IBR sheeting on houses to flat concrete on offices and warehouses. Summer afternoons bring hail and lightning, so mounting strength, surge protection and insurance deserve attention. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and large commercial rooftops are all popular across the province.

Typical home solar systems requests in the area come from:

  • Family homes: rooftop arrays of a few kWp with a hybrid inverter keeping lights, fridge and Wi-Fi on
  • Estate homes: neat roof arrays that follow design rules, often with larger hybrid systems and lithium storage
  • Townhouses and flats: small systems or shared arrays, usually needing body corporate approval and careful cable routes
  • Shops, offices and schools: daytime-focused arrays for a shop or office, with backup for tills, alarms and computers
  • Factories and warehouses: larger roof systems that cut daytime grid use at a factory, warehouse or cold store
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: farmhouse systems with generous battery banks, often paired with a borehole pump or workshop load

Why get a quote in Gauteng first?

Prices for home solar systems in Gauteng depend on the system size, the equipment, the roof, the wiring run, the paperwork and how soon you need it. A quote based on your details is the quickest way to know what you will pay, and it shows what is included before anything is ordered.

What to include in your request

  • Share a recent electricity bill or your monthly kWh.
  • Say what you want to power during load-shedding.
  • Mention your roof type, direction and any shading.
  • State whether you want batteries now or later.
  • Add your suburb and whether you live in an estate.

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

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Gauteng?
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 Gauteng 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 Gauteng?
A north-facing array in Gauteng makes about 5.2 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.
