Solar in Pretoria

Pretoria lies in a sheltered valley that runs warmer than Johannesburg, with plentiful sunshine, mild dry winters and hot summers. The City of Tshwane supplies most of the metro, with Eskom serving some outlying areas, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered with the municipality. Typical roofs are concrete tile and IBR on houses, with flat concrete roofs on townhouses, government offices and university buildings. Summer storms bring hail and lightning, and older suburbs often have mature trees that cast shade, so panel placement needs care. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and eastern-suburb estates with large rooftops are popular, and industrial areas such as Silverton look at commercial arrays.

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

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Pretoria?
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 Pretoria 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 Pretoria?
A north-facing array in Pretoria makes about 5.3 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.
