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 installation requests in the area come from:

  • 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
  • Estate homes: neat flush-mounted arrays on double-storey homes, approved by the estate's design rules
  • Family homes: rooftop panels with a hybrid inverter and battery for load-shedding, often with a solar geyser
  • 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 Sandton first?
