Solar Panels, Inverters and Lithium Batteries in Roodepoort

We’ll contact you within one business day after you submit your request. Once we’ve received all the details about your site and your energy needs, our team will prepare and send you a fully customised quote—complete with system specifications and pricing—within three working days.

Absolutely. If your energy usage patterns need to be assessed more closely, we’ll install a temporary data logger at your property for around a week to record your electricity consumption. This gives us the data we need to correctly size your solar system. If you decide to move ahead with the installation, we don’t charge for this analysis—it’s just one more way we make sure your Roodepoort system is designed exactly right from the beginning.

We only need four things to get started:

(1) your recent electricity bills or an estimate of your average monthly usage,
(2) the street address of your Roodepoort property so we can check the roof size and orientation using Google Maps,
(3) a clear photo of your distribution board to confirm whether there’s space for extra switchgear, and
(4) a photo of your utility meter so we can check that it’s compatible with a solar system.

With this information, we’ll be able to prepare a detailed and accurate quote for you.

We work with a carefully chosen list of reliable brands—Deye and SunSynk for inverters and batteries, and JinKo, JA Solar, and Canadian Solar for solar panels. By focusing on these well-supported, high-performance brands, our Roodepoort team can fine-tune your system design, offer consistent remote monitoring, and provide quick after-sales service when needed.

Yes. We start with a remote system design using your energy data, Google Maps, and advanced solar modelling software to put together a provisional quote. If you’re happy with the estimate and it matches your goals and budget, we’ll schedule a site visit in Roodepoort to check the roof structure, DB board layout, and meter setup in person. We’ll then fine-tune your system design. Even after the site visit, your quote remains 100% free and there’s no obligation to proceed until you’re ready.

On average, we schedule solar projects around three weeks from the time your quote is approved. Once you’ve given the go-ahead, we’ll reserve the next available time slot that suits your schedule. After we’ve done the on-site check, a deposit confirms your booking and allows us to order your equipment right away, making sure your Roodepoort installation moves forward without delays.

Once the site inspection is complete and everything is confirmed, we require an upfront payment of 80% to purchase the main system components. The remaining 20% balance is due one week after the installation is complete, the system is tested, and everything has been handed over to you.

With more than 100 five-star reviews on Google, we’ve built our reputation on trust and transparency. For every Roodepoort project, we send an official bank account confirmation letter and encourage you to verify the details directly by phone. If you’d prefer, you can make a small test payment first; once that shows in our account, you can pay the balance of the 80% deposit. As soon as your payment clears, we place the order for your equipment, label it for your project, and send you time-stamped photos of everything as it arrives—so you know exactly where your money is going.

Our proposals are valid and price-locked for seven days. If you accept the quote after that period, we first check whether stock availability or importer prices have changed—especially during periods of high load-shedding, when demand can push prices up. Once your deposit is paid, the price is locked in. The only time the total cost would change is if you request changes to the system during installation.

Your dedicated project coordinator will keep you updated at every important stage—letting you know when we’ve received your deposit, when your equipment is dispatched, when it arrives on-site, and when the installation gets underway. Updates often include time-stamped photos, and you can also call or WhatsApp us at any time. You’ll also have access to our job-tracking system so you can follow the progress step-by-step.

Most residential and backup systems are completed in just one day, as long as the weather holds up. Our Roodepoort crew arrives with everything prepped and planned, so the changeover is quick and tidy, and we keep things running smoothly throughout the day.

The design engineer who created your system plan will lead the on-site team, along with a licensed electrician and four experienced installers for full solar projects (or a smaller team of three for backup-only work). In some cases, a technical support specialist will also visit to check the system monitoring and update firmware. In short, a skilled and well-practised team will handle everything from start to finish at your Roodepoort property.

Around a week after the system has been commissioned, your design engineer will return for the formal handover. You’ll receive a complete Handover File—both printed and emailed as a PDF once the final balance is paid—containing your tax invoice, signed completion form, installation photos, technical design documents, component datasheets, warranty contact details, and your Electrical Certificate of Compliance (CoC).

On the day of installation, we’ll guide you through the inverter settings and help you set up your monitoring app, explaining what each reading and dashboard element means. Then, about a week later, your design engineer returns for the handover appointment to answer any follow-up questions and fine-tune the system settings if needed. After that, we monitor your system remotely and alert you to any unusual activity, and our technical team is always available to help with day-to-day queries.

If your inverter develops a fault, we’ll minimise downtime by supplying a loan unit while your inverter is being repaired. The full repair process can take up to eight weeks. We handle everything—from uninstalling the damaged unit to managing transport and reinstalling the repaired one. During your first year, there’s no charge for this service unless the issue is caused by negligence.

In most cases, yes. South African insurance providers generally consider rooftop solar systems as part of your home’s permanent structure—similar to how a geyser is treated—so long as a PV GreenCard-certified installer like CCSO Solar has completed the work. Just give your broker the replacement value of your panels, inverter, and batteries so they can be added to your building policy. That way, you’re covered against damage from storms, fire, or theft.
