Solar in Germiston

Germiston is an East Rand industrial city with strong Highveld sun, dry sunny winters and summer storms with hail and lightning. Electricity is supplied by Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality, and grid-tied and hybrid systems must be registered and approved by the metro before they are connected. The large factory and warehouse belt around Wadeville and Jupiter has big flat and sheeted roofs, which makes commercial rooftop solar a strong local interest. Older face-brick homes and townhouse complexes want hybrid backup and solar geysers. Roofs on older buildings should be checked for condition and load capacity before panels are fitted.

Typical solar geyser conversion requests in the area come from:

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

Will someone come out to look at the property?

A north-facing array in Germiston makes about 5.1 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.
