Solar in Bulawayo is practical: strong sun, long outages, and rising costs.
We design and install PV systems that keep essentials running and reduce your ZETDC bill.
From compact home systems in Hillside and Bradfield to small office arrays in the CBD, we match panels, inverter, and batteries to your real usage.
No oversized guesses — just a balanced setup that works day to day.
We wire cleanly into your DB with a safe changeover and anti-islanding, so there’s no back-feed to the grid.
Earthing, bonding, and surge protection are always included for Bulawayo’s grid return spikes.
Already have an inverter? We can add panels to charge batteries during the day and lower night-time draw.
If your current system underperforms, we test strings, breakers, and cabling to find the bottleneck.
Dust, shade, and roof angle matter here.
We plan array layout, tilt, and safe routing so you get reliable output through seasons.
We work across Parklands, Kumalo, Montrose, North End, and beyond.
Expect clear quotes, tidy installs, and straightforward advice you can trust.
FAQs
1) What size solar system do I need?
It depends on what you want to power and when. A typical home might use a 3–5 kW inverter with 4–8 panels and batteries for evening use. Shops or offices often need 5–10 kW+. We’ll calculate based on loads and roof space.
2) Can I start small and expand later?
Yes. We can install an expandable inverter and leave space on the roof and DB for more panels or batteries. Many Bulawayo clients add panels after seeing their real-world usage.
3) Will solar work during load-shedding?
With a hybrid inverter and batteries, yes. We isolate from the grid using anti-islanding and a proper changeover so your system stays safe and compliant when ZETDC returns.
4) Do you handle earthing and surge protection?
Always. We install DC/AC surge arrestors, correct bonding, and test earth resistance. This protects inverters and appliances from return surges and lightning activity common around Bulawayo.
5) What about shading and dust on panels?
We assess nearby trees, chimneys, and neighboring roofs. Even partial shade can drop output, so we plan stringing or optimizers if needed. Light cleaning a few times a year helps maintain yield.
6) Can you integrate with my existing generator or inverter?
Yes. We can pair solar with many inverter brands and configure generator charging if supported. We’ll confirm compatibility before installation.
