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 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: hybrid systems that ride out long rural outages and run pumps, cold rooms and workshop tools

Why get a quote in Gauteng first?

No two solar jobs in Gauteng are the same. A quote based on your details shows the real cost of the panels, inverter, batteries, mounting, cabling, protection, labour, the Certificate of Compliance and registration, so you can budget properly and avoid surprises.

What to include in your request

  • List the appliances that must run during an outage.
  • Say whether you have single or three phase supply.
  • State how many hours of backup you would like.
  • Mention any existing panels or inverter you want to reuse.
  • Add your municipality or Eskom area.

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.
