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 solar compliance and registration requests in the area come from:

  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: mixed off-grid and grid-connected systems needing a certificate for insurance and any Eskom connection
  • Family homes: a hybrid home system that needs a CoC and municipal approval before or after connecting to the grid
  • Shops, offices and schools: rooftop systems requiring SSEG approval, drawings and a CoC for insurers, landlords and lenders
  • Factories and warehouses: larger embedded generation applications with protection settings, studies and formal utility approval
  • Estate homes: estate rules and the municipality both involved, with approvals and certificates kept ready for the HOA
  • Townhouses and flats: body-corporate consent plus municipal approval for small systems on shared roofs and distribution boards

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 registered electrician 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.
