Solar in Johannesburg

Johannesburg sits high on the Highveld, so it enjoys clear skies and strong sun for much of the year, with dry winter days that are cold at night. Most of the city is supplied by City Power, with Eskom serving some areas and Soweto, and grid-tied and hybrid systems need to be registered and approved before connection. Houses have concrete tile or IBR roofs, while apartment blocks, offices and warehouses have flat or sheeted roofs suited to large arrays. Afternoon thunderstorms bring hail and lightning, so strong mounting and surge protection matter. Hybrid backup for load-shedding, solar geysers and commercial rooftop systems are all in demand across the northern and southern suburbs.

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 Johannesburg?
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 Johannesburg 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 Johannesburg?
A north-facing array in Johannesburg 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.
