Solar in Gauteng

Gauteng sits on the sunny Highveld, with clear, dry winter days and strong sun for most of the year. Power comes from several suppliers: City Power in Johannesburg, City of Tshwane, Ekurhuleni and a number of smaller municipalities, with Eskom serving some outer areas. Each one requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered or approved before they are connected. Roofs range from concrete tile and IBR sheeting on houses to flat concrete on offices and warehouses. Summer afternoons bring hail and lightning, so mounting strength, surge protection and insurance deserve attention. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and large commercial rooftops are all popular across the province.

Typical solar geyser conversion requests in the area come from:

  • Family homes: a retrofit or PV kit fitted to the family home's existing geyser without replacing the tank
  • 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
  • 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
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: conversions of farmhouse and worker housing geysers where mains power is unreliable or expensive to extend

Why get a quote in Gauteng first?

Taking the first price you hear can cost more over the life of the system. By requesting a quote for Gauteng, you can check the equipment, the warranties, the after-sales support and whether registration is included, and find a solar geyser installer you can call again.

What to include in your request

  • Age, size and type of your current geyser
  • Where the geyser sits relative to the roof
  • Roof material, shade and orientation

The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Gauteng?
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 Gauteng 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 Gauteng?
A north-facing array in Gauteng makes about 5.2 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.
