The Garden Route has a busy property market, with estates, developments, dairy and timber operations, industrial sites and growing commercial activity. Thermo Group designs and installs larger solar systems for farms, wineries, packhouses, commercial and industrial sites and developments across the region, with a focus on larger projects rather than small call-outs.

Towns we cover in the Garden Route

What farms and businesses here use power for

Commercial and industrial buildings, cold storage, dairies, estates and developments. Developers can include solar at the design stage, which is cheaper than retrofitting.

Regional conditions that affect your system

The Garden Route is milder, wetter and cloudier than the interior, so winter output is lower than inland. We model it honestly and design for coastal wind.

Approval and compliance

A grid-tied system must be registered with the local municipality, or with Eskom where the property is supplied by Eskom, before it is switched on, and needs an electrical Certificate of Compliance. Requirements differ from one municipality to the next, so we confirm them at the start and handle the application and the certificate. Ask your accountant whether the Section 12B tax allowance applies to your business or farm.

How we work outside Cape Town

After you send a recent bill and a few details, we arrange a site visit, size the system around your actual loads and give you a written quote. We maintain the systems we install and larger farm and commercial arrays. Very small residential jobs in remote towns are better served by a local installer, and we will say so honestly.

Frequently asked questions

Does solar still make sense on the Garden Route given the cloud? Yes for properties with steady daytime use. Output is lower in winter than inland, and we say so in the quote.

Do you install solar for farms in the Garden Route? Yes. We design around pumps, cold rooms, cellars, dairies and sheds, and we handle registration and the certificate of compliance.

Farm solar guides: irrigation and boreholes, cold rooms and packhouses, wine estates and cellars, dairy and livestock.
