Both units will have gas geysers and stoves, and everything else will run on solar off-grid (Eskom and a small 8 kVA generator as backup only in an extreme emergency). Solar panels can be set up as a free-standing unit about 15 m away from the main house. This is a new build in Elandskraal, about 10 km outside Sedgefield in the forest area, with main road access. Construction will start in July. The roof on the main house will go up by mid-August, after which installation will begin.
An a-frame house with Harvey tiles (plastic tiles to protect underlying thatch), so I’m not sure if the panels can go on the roof. However there is ample north facing roof surface if the tiles can support the panels. I would like to be quoted on a 10kw system if possible. The property is within the Utopia nature estate in Buffelspoort in the North West Province, 1 hour and 45 minutes drive from Johannesburg. Photo attached of the type of house and roof.
