Why Johannesburg Homes Are Switching to Solar Energy

Johannesburg''s abundant sunshine—averaging 2,500+ annual sunlight hours—makes it ideal for solar energy adoption. With rising Eskom tariffs and frequent power outages, homeowners are turning to solar to:

  • Slash electricity bills by 40–70%
  • Reduce reliance on unstable grid power
  • Boost property resale value by up to 15%

"Solar isn''t just eco-friendly; it''s a financial safeguard against load-shedding," says a local installer.

Key Components of a Solar Power System

A typical Johannesburg home solar setup includes:

  • Solar Panels: 330–400W monocrystalline units (most efficient for limited roof space)
  • Inverters: Hybrid models that work with batteries and grid power
  • Batteries: Lithium-ion options like Tesla Powerwall for night use
