Solar in Sandton

Sandton enjoys the clear Highveld sun that most of Johannesburg does, with bright, dry winters and summer storms. It is supplied mainly by City Power, with Eskom serving a few pockets, and grid-tied and hybrid systems must be registered and approved before they are switched on. The skyline of offices and apartment towers has roofs and podiums that are often shaded or crowded with plant, so layout needs design input. Large houses behind high walls have tile, slate or flat roofs that suit hybrid systems with sizeable batteries. Body corporates and sectional-title schemes need trustees to approve solar. Hail and lightning call for sturdy mounting and surge protection.

Typical solar pool heating requests in the area come from:

  • 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
  • Estate homes: discreet collectors placed to suit estate design rules, often on a lapa or outbuilding roof
  • Family homes: black collectors on a garage or pool-house roof, extending the swimming season for a family pool
  • 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
