Compare Solar Installers RondeboschWhat Installers Should Plan For in Rondebosch
- Tree shade. Mature trees shade many roofs in Rondebosch for part of the day. Panel layout and string design should work around them.
- Older electrics. Older distribution boards often need upgrading to take solar and a backup circuit. Ask each installer to price DB work as a separate line.
- Heritage controls. Some older streets in Rondebosch carry heritage protection, and visible panels may need approval. Check before the installer orders equipment.
- Flats and complexes. Roof space is shared and body corporate consent is needed. Many owners start with a battery backup system and add panels if roof space allows.
