Understanding your power requirements
What to look out for
The useful output of a solar array depends on roof orientation, shading, available mounting space, seasonal conditions and how electricity is consumed. A large array is not always the most sensible starting point without matching it to load needs.
How we approach it
We begin by understanding consumption and whether the project is grid-connected, hybrid or designed with future battery expansion in mind. An assessment considers roof structure and access, panel positioning, cabling routes, inverter location, protective equipment and the relevant municipal process.
System design, protection and commissioning
System capacity should be specified with clear assumptions about energy yield, equipment, warranties and what is excluded. We do not present theoretical generation figures or guaranteed savings without a site-specific basis.
A solar proposal begins with site conditions
The number of panels that fit on a roof does not by itself determine the right system. Orientation, shading, roof condition, available electrical infrastructure and the pattern of daytime demand all affect the design. We start by discussing what the customer wants to achieve and whether existing equipment will be retained.
A PV installation must integrate with suitable inverters, protective equipment and appropriately designed wiring. Roof access, waterproofing, cable routing and safe isolation require planning. Grid connection and local approval requirements also need to be checked for the specific property and system type.
Customers should provide available electricity bills, equipment model details and photographs of the roof and electrical board where safe to do so. We then distinguish realistic design options from generic package sizes, including the implications for future battery expansion.
Helpful answers before you book
How many panels should I install?
Consumption data, roof conditions and system objective determine sensible sizing.
Can I install solar without batteries?
Some grid-connected designs can operate without batteries; outage behaviour depends on system configuration.
Do solar installations require municipal registration?
Applicable City of Cape Town requirements must be checked for the chosen installation.
