- HOA approval. Security estates in Centurion usually need the HOA or aesthetics committee to approve the panel layout first. Build that time into the plan.
- Lightning. Gauteng has some of the highest lightning activity in South Africa. DC and AC surge protection and proper earthing should be on every quote in Centurion.
- Business premises. Business premises in Centurion mostly run in the day, which suits grid-tied solar with little or no battery.
- Family homes. Most homes in Centurion use 400 to 800 kWh a month. A 5kW system with 5 to 10kWh of battery is the usual starting point.
