What Is Different In Bothasig
- Older industrial roofs. Check the sheeting before solar goes on. Rusted IBR should be replaced first, and asbestos-cement roofs need a specialist assessment because they cannot simply be drilled for mounting. See Industrial Solar Cape Town.
- Estate and HOA rules. Business parks, office estates and residential estates often have architectural guidelines. Get written approval before accepting a quote so the design does not need to change.
Approvals For Bothasig Sites
- Supply authority. Bothasig falls under the City of Cape Town, so grid-connected systems and battery-only systems need City SSEG authorisation before installation. A few properties are supplied directly by Eskom and apply to Eskom instead; your electricity bill shows which. See Commercial Solar SSEG Registration Cape Town.
- Certificate of Compliance. Issued by a registered electrician for the electrical installation.
- Engineer sign-off. Needed for larger systems and structural checks.
- NERSA registration. Required for grid-connected generation above 100 kW.
Requirements and fees change. Ask each installer to confirm current requirements for your property in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does commercial solar cost in Bothasig?
Indicative installed ranges, excluding VAT, are about R350,000 to R500,000 for a 30 kWp grid-tied system and R1,000,000 to R1,450,000 for 100 kWp, rising to R1,900,000 to R2,700,000 for 200 kWp. Batteries add roughly R4,000 to R8,500 per kWh.
Do Bothasig businesses apply to the City of Cape Town or Eskom?
Most Bothasig properties are supplied by the City of Cape Town and apply for SSEG authorisation there. Properties supplied directly by Eskom apply to Eskom. Your electricity bill shows your supplier.
Can solar go on an old factory roof in Bothasig?
Only if the sheeting and structure are sound for the system life. Corroded sheeting is usually replaced first, and asbestos-cement roofs need a specialist assessment before any mounting work.
Do estate rules affect solar in Bothasig?
Often. Many estates and business parks have architectural guidelines about panel placement and visibility. Get written approval before signing a quote.
What size solar system do warehouses and logistics in Bothasig usually need?
It depends on daytime electricity use and roof space rather than building type alone, but warehouses and logistics commonly start around 200 kWp. Twelve months of electricity bills let installers size it properly.
How many quotes will I get for a Bothasig site?
Up to five, from commercial solar installers covering Bothasig. You compare them yourself and appoint whoever you prefer, or nobody.
