Solar in George

George sits between the Outeniqua mountains and the Garden Route coast, with mild temperatures, frequent cloud and rain in any season, so solar output is more modest than on the dry inland plateau but still useful. The George Municipality supplies the town and requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered and approved, with Eskom serving some outlying areas. Golf estates, holiday homes at Wilderness and Herolds Bay and retirement housing mostly have tile and IBR roofs, and coastal sites face salt air and strong wind. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and batteries to ride through outages are popular, and commercial rooftops are growing steadily.

  • Townhouses and flats: heating for a communal pool, agreed with the body corporate and installed on a shared roof
  • Shops, offices and schools: heating for guesthouse, hotel or school pools used for lessons, with covers to keep the heat in

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 George will quote you.
Will someone come out to look at the property?
