Solar in Northern Cape

The Northern Cape receives some of the strongest sunshine in South Africa, with very little cloud and long hours of clear sky through the year. Eskom supplies most rural areas, while Sol Plaatje, Dawid Kruiper and other municipalities run their own networks, and each requires embedded-generation approval for grid-tied and hybrid systems. Distances are huge and grid power can be weak or far away, so off-grid systems, borehole pumps and farm installations are common, along with solar for mines, guest farms and town businesses. Extreme heat, dust, strong wind and cold desert nights are the main conditions to plan for. Roofs are mainly IBR sheeting, and ground-mount space is plentiful.

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
  • 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
  • Family homes: a hybrid home system that needs a CoC and municipal approval before or after connecting to the grid
  • 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

Why get a quote in Northern Cape first?

What to include in your request

  • Grid-tied, hybrid or off-grid system

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Northern Cape?
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 Northern Cape 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 Northern Cape?
A north-facing array in Northern Cape makes about 5.9 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.
