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 geyser conversion requests in the area come from:

  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: conversions of farmhouse and worker housing geysers where mains power is unreliable or expensive to extend
  • Family homes: a retrofit or PV kit fitted to the family home's existing geyser without replacing the tank
  • Shops, offices and schools: adding panels or collectors to an existing hot water cylinder in a restaurant, clinic or guesthouse
  • Factories and warehouses: retrofitting solar heating to large hot water tanks used for staff facilities and washdown
  • Estate homes: a low-profile conversion with panels placed to satisfy the estate's design guidelines
  • Townhouses and flats: a PV geyser with a few panels, often easier than roof pipework in a sectional title complex

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 solar geyser installer 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.
