Solar in Gauteng

Gauteng sits on the sunny Highveld, with clear, dry winter days and strong sun for most of the year. Power comes from several suppliers: City Power in Johannesburg, City of Tshwane, Ekurhuleni and a number of smaller municipalities, with Eskom serving some outer areas. Each one requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered or approved before they are connected. Roofs range from concrete tile and IBR sheeting on houses to flat concrete on offices and warehouses. Summer afternoons bring hail and lightning, so mounting strength, surge protection and insurance deserve attention. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and large commercial rooftops are all popular across the province.

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
  • Shops, offices and schools: daytime-load rooftop systems for offices, shops, schools and clinics, with backup for tills and IT
  • Factories and warehouses: large grid-tied arrays on warehouse and factory roofs and carports, sized to the daytime load
  • 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 Gauteng first?

Prices for solar installation in Gauteng depend on the system size, the equipment, the roof, the wiring run, the paperwork and how soon you need it. A quote based on your details is the quickest way to know what you will pay, and it shows what is included before anything is ordered.

What to include in your request

  • Say what you want solar to do for you
  • Share a recent electricity bill if you can
  • Describe the roof material and direction it faces
  • Ask which warranties apply and who services them
  • Request a written quote with a clear scope

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

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Gauteng?
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 Gauteng 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 Gauteng?
A north-facing array in Gauteng makes about 5.2 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.
