Solar in Alberton

Alberton enjoys clear, sunny Highveld weather, with cold dry winter nights and hot summers with afternoon storms. Electricity is supplied by Ekurhuleni, and grid-tied and hybrid systems must be registered and approved by the metro before connection. Established suburbs such as Brackenhurst and Meyersdal, golf estates and townhouse complexes mostly have tiled roofs, while the industrial and commercial area around Alrode has large flat and sheeted roofs suited to commercial arrays. Estates and body corporates often require written approval for panels and batteries, so ask early. Hail and lightning are summer concerns. Hybrid systems for load-shedding backup and solar geysers are the main residential interest, and many industrial sites consider rooftop PV.

  • Family homes: black collectors on a garage or pool-house roof, extending the swimming season for a family pool
  • Townhouses and flats: heating for a communal pool, agreed with the body corporate and installed on a shared roof
  • Factories and warehouses: large collector arrays for gym, club or hydrotherapy pools alongside existing plant and pumps
  • Shops, offices and schools: heating for guesthouse, hotel or school pools used for lessons, with covers to keep the heat in
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: ground-mounted or shed-roof collectors for lodge, guesthouse and farmhouse pools with space to spare

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Alberton?
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 pool heating installer working in Alberton 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 Alberton?
A north-facing array in Alberton makes about 5.1 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.
