Want to know more first? Our solar geyser conversion guide covers the options, what to check and what affects the price.

Solar in Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch has a sunny, dry Cape summer and a cool, wet winter, so panels produce strongly from spring through autumn. The Stellenbosch Municipality supplies the town, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved with it, while Eskom serves some outlying farms. Heritage rules affect many buildings in the old town, and wine estates have large cellar and packshed roofs suited to solar. Student flats, security estates and homes in Die Boord use tile and IBR roofs, with body-corporate rules in many complexes. Wind off the mountains and summer heat test mounting. Hybrid backup, solar geysers, estate rooftops and farm pumps are common.

Typical solar geyser conversion requests in the area come from:

  • 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
  • Townhouses and flats: a PV geyser with a few panels, often easier than roof pipework in a sectional title complex
  • 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

What to include in your request

  • Age, size and type of your current geyser

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Stellenbosch?
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 Stellenbosch 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 Stellenbosch?
A north-facing array in Stellenbosch makes about 5.0 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.
