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 pool heating requests in the area come from:

  • Family homes: black collectors on a garage or pool-house roof, extending the swimming season for a family pool
  • Estate homes: discreet collectors placed to suit estate design rules, often on a lapa or outbuilding roof
  • 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
  • Factories and warehouses: large collector arrays for gym, club or hydrotherapy pools alongside existing plant and pumps
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: ground-mounted or shed-roof collectors for lodge, guesthouse and farmhouse pools with space to spare

Why get a quote in Pretoria first?

What to include in your request

  • Pool length, width and average depth

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Pretoria?
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 Pretoria 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 Pretoria?
A north-facing array in Pretoria makes about 5.3 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.
