Want to know more first? Our solar pool heating guide covers the options, what to check and what affects the price.

Solar in Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch has a sunny, dry Cape summer and a cool, wet winter, so panels produce strongly from spring through autumn. The Stellenbosch Municipality supplies the town, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved with it, while Eskom serves some outlying farms. Heritage rules affect many buildings in the old town, and wine estates have large cellar and packshed roofs suited to solar. Student flats, security estates and homes in Die Boord use tile and IBR roofs, with body-corporate rules in many complexes. Wind off the mountains and summer heat test mounting. Hybrid backup, solar geysers, estate rooftops and farm pumps are common.

Typical solar pool heating requests in the area come from:

  • Estate homes: discreet collectors placed to suit estate design rules, often on a lapa or outbuilding roof
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: ground-mounted or shed-roof collectors for lodge, guesthouse and farmhouse pools with space to spare
  • Townhouses and flats: heating for a communal pool, agreed with the body corporate and installed on a shared roof
  • Family homes: black collectors on a garage or pool-house roof, extending the swimming season for a family pool
  • 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

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Stellenbosch?
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 Stellenbosch 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 Stellenbosch?
A north-facing array in Stellenbosch makes about 5.0 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.
