Solar in Pretoria

Pretoria lies in a sheltered valley that runs warmer than Johannesburg, with plentiful sunshine, mild dry winters and hot summers. The City of Tshwane supplies most of the metro, with Eskom serving some outlying areas, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered with the municipality. Typical roofs are concrete tile and IBR on houses, with flat concrete roofs on townhouses, government offices and university buildings. Summer storms bring hail and lightning, and older suburbs often have mature trees that cast shade, so panel placement needs care. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and eastern-suburb estates with large rooftops are popular, and industrial areas such as Silverton look at commercial arrays.

Typical solar panels 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 Pretoria first?

What to include in your request
