Solar Installation in Irene, Centurion
Irene is a mix of the historic village, laid out in 1902, and newer estates like Cornwall Hill, Irene Farm Village and Southdowns. Village homes and estate homes need different things from a solar installer, so we plan each Irene job around the house and its approvals. Erazon Solar handles solar installation in Irene for hybrid solar, battery backup and upgrades, with the electrical CoC included.
Supplied by the City of Tshwane: grid-tied and hybrid systems need Tshwane SSEG approval before connection.
How much does solar cost in Irene?
The same published prices apply in Irene as everywhere we work. Your final price depends on the size your home needs, which we confirm at the assessment.
Solar installation in Irene: what is different here
Is Irene supplied by Tshwane or Eskom?
Irene was incorporated into the City of Tshwane with the rest of Centurion in 2000 (Wikipedia), so grid-tied and hybrid systems register with Tshwane Electricity before connection, with an NRS 097-2-1 inverter, single-line diagram and CoC (SurgePV).
Do Irene estates need approval for solar?
Irene's estates include Cornwall Hill, Irene Farm Village and Southdowns (Seeff), and estate owners need HOA approval before installing (BusinessTech). We supply the layout drawing and equipment specs your estate will ask for.
What should older Irene village homes check?
The village was laid out in 1902 as 337 plots on the farm Doornkloof (Wikipedia). On older homes we check roof condition and the distribution board first, because both affect whether panels can go up safely and whether the installation can get its CoC.
How reliable is Centurion's power supply?
Centurion has had several substation failures, including the Brakfontein fire in April 2025 and a five-substation outage the same month (Rekord). Tshwane completed the Kentron substation refurbishment in April 2026 to restore capacity (Rekord), but faults still happen, so we size batteries for real outages.
