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 installation requests in the area come from:

  • Estate homes: neat flush-mounted arrays on double-storey homes, approved by the estate's design rules
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: off-grid and hybrid systems, borehole pumps, ground-mounted arrays and solar lights for the yard
  • Townhouses and flats: small backup systems and a few panels, with body-corporate approval for the roof
  • Family homes: rooftop panels with a hybrid inverter and battery for load-shedding, often with a solar geyser
  • 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

Why get a quote in Stellenbosch first?

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 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.
