Solar in Benoni

Benoni sits on the eastern Highveld with plenty of sunshine, dry winters and summer thunderstorms that can bring hail. It falls under Ekurhuleni, which requires embedded generation such as grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered and approved before they run. Many lakeside and family-suburb houses date from the 1960s and 1970s and have concrete tile or corrugated roofs that should be inspected before panels go on, with wiring that may need upgrading to get a new Certificate of Compliance. Newer estates toward Rynfield have modern tiled roofs. Hybrid backup against load-shedding, solar geysers and light-industrial rooftops in Benoni and Brakpan are the usual requests from this area.

Typical solar installation requests in the area come from:

  • Family homes: rooftop panels with a hybrid inverter and battery for load-shedding, often with a solar geyser
  • Estate homes: neat flush-mounted arrays on double-storey homes, approved by the estate's design rules
  • Townhouses and flats: small backup systems and a few panels, with body-corporate approval for the roof
  • Factories and warehouses: large grid-tied arrays on warehouse and factory roofs and carports, sized to the daytime load
  • Shops, offices and schools: daytime-load rooftop systems for offices, shops, schools and clinics, with backup for tills and IT
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: off-grid and hybrid systems, borehole pumps, ground-mounted arrays and solar lights for the yard

Why get a quote in Benoni first?

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Benoni?
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 installer working in Benoni 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 Benoni?
A north-facing array in Benoni 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.
