Solar in Kimberley

Kimberley is hot and dry with very little cloud, so solar systems here enjoy high sunshine hours for most of the year. Sol Plaatje Municipality supplies the city, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved with it, with some outlying farms on Eskom. The old Victorian and Edwardian houses in Belgravia and Kimberley North typically have corrugated iron roofs, sometimes under heritage rules that affect how panels are fitted, while newer homes use concrete tiles. Dust and windblown grit soil panels, summer heat tests inverters and winter nights are cold. Hybrid backup, solar geysers, borehole pumps and commercial rooftops are popular requests.

Typical solar compliance and registration requests in the area come from:

  • 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
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: mixed off-grid and grid-connected systems needing a certificate for insurance and any Eskom connection
  • Factories and warehouses: larger embedded generation applications with protection settings, studies and formal utility approval
  • Townhouses and flats: body-corporate consent plus municipal approval for small systems on shared roofs and distribution boards
  • Estate homes: estate rules and the municipality both involved, with approvals and certificates kept ready for the HOA

Why get a quote in Kimberley first?

Prices for solar compliance and registration in Kimberley depend on the system size, the equipment, the roof, the wiring run, the paperwork and how soon you need it.

What to include in your request

  • Grid-tied, hybrid or off-grid system
  • Inverter make, model and size

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Kimberley?
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 Kimberley 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 Kimberley?
A north-facing array in Kimberley makes about 5.8 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.
