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 installation requests in the area come from:

  • Family homes: a one or two day job fitting collectors and a tank to the family home's roof
  • Estate homes: a tidy installation with the tank in the ceiling and collectors that meet the architectural rules
  • Townhouses and flats: careful roof work coordinated with the body corporate, with limited access and shared structure
  • Shops, offices and schools: scheduled work outside trading hours, supplying hot water to kitchens, ablutions or a guesthouse
  • Factories and warehouses: multiple collectors and large storage tanks fitted on warehouse roofs or structures, with proper access equipment
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: installations at farmhouses, cottages and lodges, often with long pipe runs and ground-mounted collectors

Why get a quote in Pretoria first?

Taking the first price you hear can cost more over the life of the system. By requesting a quote for Pretoria, 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

  • Roof material and approximate height
  • Position of the existing geyser
  • Whether the tank goes on the roof or in the ceiling
  • Certificates you expect to receive
  • Preferred dates and access arrangements

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

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.
