Thermo Group — Solar Experts You Can Trust
Affordable solar installations for homes and businesses in Fresnaye — quality workmanship, transparent pricing, no premium mark-up.
At Thermo Group, we install solar PV, battery and hybrid systems throughout Fresnaye — one of the few Atlantic Seaboard suburbs genuinely sheltered from the wind, elevated on Lion’s Head between Sea Point and Bantry Bay along Millionaire’s Mile. That shelter changes the brief: instead of engineering for gusts, we design around the terraced elevation and shading that comes with it.

Our experienced team handles the complete solar installation process in Fresnaye — from surveying the property’s actual sun hours and shading, through design, installation, testing, compliance and registration.
Fresnaye’s larger, terraced villas often mean multiple roof planes and neighbouring homes that can shade each other at different times of day. We design around your property’s electricity usage, roof layout and real shading pattern, not a generic seaboard template. We carry out both residential and commercial solar installations, and our technicians are experienced in installing and maintaining these systems for the long term.

What We Design Around In Fresnaye
Elevated Terracing & Shading
Homes stepped up Lion’s Head mean neighbouring properties and the mountain itself can shade panels at different times of day — the real design variable here, not wind.
Large, Multi-Roof-Plane Homes
Fresnaye’s villas are larger than the seaboard average, often with multiple roof sections that call for a genuinely designed layout, not a standard system.
Premium Properties, Premium Backup
Fresnaye homeowners often want full home backup rather than just bridging outages — we size battery capacity around real usage, not a guess.
Why A Fresnaye Solar Installation Isn’t A Generic Cape Town Job
Fresnaye is one of the few beachfront-adjacent Atlantic Seaboard suburbs that’s genuinely sheltered from the wind, elevated on Lion’s Head’s slopes between Sea Point and Bantry Bay. That shelter is a real advantage, but it means the usual Camps Bay or Sea Point wind-engineering brief doesn’t apply here — the variable that actually matters in Fresnaye is shading from the terraced elevation and neighbouring homes.
Designing Around Elevation And Shading, Not Wind
Terraced properties stepped up the slope mean a home’s own upper storeys, or the house above it, can cast shade across panels at different points in the day. We map that at the site visit and design the array and stringing around it, rather than assuming a clear, unshaded roof.
Sizing Systems For Fresnaye’s Larger Homes
Fresnaye’s villas tend to be larger and more architecturally considered than average, which usually means a bigger system, sometimes multiple inverters, and household backup sized for genuine daily use rather than just outage bridging.

We Don't Just Install — We Maintain
At Thermo Group, our relationship with our Fresnaye clients doesn’t end when the solar installation is complete.
We offer ongoing maintenance and servicing for Fresnaye solar systems, helping ensure equipment keeps operating safely and efficiently despite the shading changes that come with hedge and tree growth on a terraced, elevated property. Our team can assist with inspections, fault finding, inverter issues, battery systems, electrical connections and general system maintenance.
Regular maintenance can also help identify potential problems before they become expensive failures.
SSEG & City of Cape Town Registration
Installing a solar system is only part of the process. Where required, your system must also be properly documented and registered with the City of Cape Town.
Thermo Group can assist clients with the SSEG application and registration process, helping ensure that the required documentation, electrical compliance requirements and system information are correctly dealt with.
Our goal is to make the process as straightforward as possible for the property owner.

Fill in your details below and our team will contact you to discuss your solar installation or maintenance needs in Fresnaye.
How much does solar installation cost in Fresnaye?
It depends on your household’s usage and system size — a small backup system for essentials during load shedding costs far less than a full system covering your whole home. We assess your usage and roof before quoting, so you get an accurate price rather than a generic estimate.
How long does a solar installation take in Fresnaye?
Most residential installations take 1 to 3 days on site, depending on system size and roof complexity, plus the time needed for approvals. We’ll give you a clear timeline once we’ve assessed your property.
Fresnaye feels sheltered from the wind — does that make installation easier?
In some ways, yes, but shading from mature hedges, trees and neighbouring terraced homes is the bigger factor we plan around here. We assess your specific roof for shading patterns before finalising panel placement.
Will solar keep my home running during load shedding?
Yes. A correctly installed and configured solar and battery system will keep your essential circuits running during load shedding, and we handle the City of Cape Town’s SSEG registration and Notice of Completion as part of every installation.
Do you also handle compliance certificates and ongoing maintenance for the system?
Yes. We issue the Solar Certificate of Compliance your installation needs, and we offer ongoing maintenance and fault-finding to keep it performing well for years — whether we installed it or another company did.
