Solar in Centurion

Centurion gets excellent Highveld sunshine, with dry, bright winters and hot summers broken by afternoon storms. The area falls under the City of Tshwane, so grid-tied and hybrid systems need registration and approval with the municipality, and estates often add their own rules. Most homes are modern double-storey houses with concrete tile roofs inside security and golf estates, along with large townhouse complexes and business parks near Samrand and Route 21. Body corporates and homeowners associations usually need to approve panels, so check this early. Hail and lightning are real risks in summer. Hybrid systems with lithium batteries and solar geysers are common here, and business parks look at large rooftop installations.

Typical off-grid solar systems requests in the area come from:

  • Estate homes: occasional off-grid homes where the estate allows it, with ground or roof panels and generous storage
  • Townhouses and flats: seldom suitable for townhouses, though off-grid common-area lighting or gate systems are sometimes installed
  • Family homes: rarely fully off-grid, though some owners go grid-free with large battery banks and a generator
  • Shops, offices and schools: remote shops, guest lodges and rural clinics that need steady power where the grid is unreliable
  • Factories and warehouses: mines, remote sheds and pump stations running on dedicated solar, battery and generator systems
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: farmhouses, labour housing and lodges far from the grid, often powered with a generator backup
