Home solar in Pretoria

Panels, a hybrid inverter and a battery, sized to cut your bill and keep the essentials on.

A hybrid system uses the sun first, stores what you do not use in a battery, and only draws from the grid when it has to. We size it from what you actually spend and what you want to keep running, so you are not paying for capacity you will never use.

Good for

  • Homeowners who want a noticeably smaller electricity bill
  • Families who want lights, Wi-Fi, fridges and the gate to stay on in an outage
  • Anyone who has a backup system already and wants to add panels

What is included

  • Hybrid inverter, lithium (LFP) battery and tier-one panels, all listed by model in your quote
  • Roof mounting matched to tile, IBR or flat concrete roofs, with waterproofing at every fixing
  • DC and AC isolators, surge protection and earthing
  • Essentials circuit or whole-home wiring, whichever suits your board
  • Monitoring app set up on your phone, with a walkthrough
  • Certificate of Compliance and the municipal SSEG application

How it works

Four steps, start to finish.

  1. 1

    Assessment

    We look at the roof, the board and a recent electricity bill, and list what you want on backup.

  2. 2

    Design

    You get a written design: panel layout, inverter and battery size, and an estimate of what it will produce.

  3. 3

    Install

    One to two days for most homes. Power is off for a few hours at most while we connect the inverter.

  4. 4

    Certify

    Testing, the Certificate of Compliance, app setup and a handover walkthrough.

Questions

Home solar: common questions.

How many panels does a house need?

Most Pretoria homes we see land between 8 and 16 panels. The number depends on your daytime usage, roof space and how much of your bill you want to replace. The system sizer gives you a first estimate.

Will panels damage my roof?

Not when they are fitted properly. On tile roofs we use hooks under the tiles rather than drilling through them, and on IBR roofs we seal every fixing. We check the roof structure during the assessment.

Can I add more panels or batteries later?

Yes. We choose inverters with room to grow where it makes sense, and batteries can usually be added in modules of the same type.
