Solar in Free State

The Free State is sunny and dry for most of the year, with clear winter days that stay cold at night and hot summers with strong irradiance. Mangaung is served by Centlec, Matjhabeng, Metsimaholo and other municipalities run their own networks, and Eskom supplies much of the rest. Grid-tied and hybrid systems must be registered with whichever supplier applies. Farms use solar for borehole pumps, dairies, grain handling and shearing sheds, while towns see hybrid backup and solar geysers. Hail and lightning on summer afternoons, hard frost and strong dry wind are the main weather concerns. Roofs are mostly IBR sheeting on farms and concrete or corrugated sheeting in towns.

Typical hybrid solar systems requests in the area come from:

  • Family homes: a 5 to 8 kVA inverter and lithium battery keeping essentials running through load-shedding
  • Shops, offices and schools: hybrid systems keeping tills, card machines, alarms and servers running when the grid drops
  • Factories and warehouses: three-phase hybrid or battery-backed systems that protect critical machines and cold chain equipment
  • Estate homes: larger hybrid systems for bigger homes, installed neatly and approved by the estate's design committee
  • Townhouses and flats: compact hybrid units backing up lights and Wi-Fi, mounted where the body corporate allows

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Free State?
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 Free State 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 Free State?
A north-facing array in Free State makes about 5.5 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.
