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 panel cleaning requests in the area come from:

  • Family homes: a few roof panels washed once or twice a year, mostly of dust and leaf litter
  • Estate homes: neat double-storey roof arrays cleaned from safe access points, often on a scheduled plan
  • Townhouses and flats: shared or small roof arrays cleaned with body-corporate approval and arranged access to the roof
  • Shops, offices and schools: flat-roof arrays on shops, offices and schools cleaned outside trading hours with minimal disruption
  • Factories and warehouses: large warehouse and carport arrays cleaned by teams with poles, water supply and fall protection
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: ground and roof arrays covered in dust from gravel roads, lands and livestock yards

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 panel cleaning company 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.
