Solar in Sandton

Sandton enjoys the clear Highveld sun that most of Johannesburg does, with bright, dry winters and summer storms. It is supplied mainly by City Power, with Eskom serving a few pockets, and grid-tied and hybrid systems must be registered and approved before they are switched on. The skyline of offices and apartment towers has roofs and podiums that are often shaded or crowded with plant, so layout needs design input. Large houses behind high walls have tile, slate or flat roofs that suit hybrid systems with sizeable batteries. Body corporates and sectional-title schemes need trustees to approve solar. Hail and lightning call for sturdy mounting and surge protection.

Typical solar geyser conversion requests in the area come from:

  • 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
  • Estate homes: a low-profile conversion with panels placed to satisfy the estate's design guidelines
  • Family homes: a retrofit or PV kit fitted to the family home's existing geyser without replacing the tank
  • 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
