Thermo Group — Solar Experts You Can Trust
Affordable solar installations for homes and businesses in Rondebosch — quality workmanship, transparent pricing, no premium mark-up.
At Thermo Group, we install solar PV, battery and hybrid systems throughout Rondebosch — one of the Southern Suburbs’ most established neighbourhoods, built up around the Liesbeek River, UCT’s main campus and some of Cape Town’s oldest schools. We design every Rondebosch system around those conditions from the first site visit, not as an afterthought.
Our experienced team handles the complete solar installation process in Rondebosch — from surveying the property’s actual sun hours and shading, through design, installation, testing, compliance and registration.
Whether you’re looking for a solar PV system, battery backup, hybrid inverter or a complete energy solution, we design around your property’s electricity usage, roof and the Liesbeek River corridor and the suburb’s grand older homes. 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 Rondebosch
Liesbeek River Flood-Prone Pockets
Low-lying sections near the Liesbeek River can flood in winter storms. We position ground-level equipment and cable routing with that in mind.
Grand Older Homes & Legacy Wiring
Large historic homes near the schools often have wiring never designed for solar. We assess the DB and existing circuits before finalising a design.
M3 Corridor Dust & Vibration
Properties along the M3 and Main Road corridor see more dust and vibration than quieter streets. We factor that into hardware and maintenance planning.
Why A Rondebosch Solar Installation Isn’t A Generic Cape Town Job
Rondebosch is one of the Southern Suburbs’ most established neighbourhoods, built up around the Liesbeek River, UCT’s main campus, and some of Cape Town’s oldest schools. That mix of grand older properties, low-lying river-adjacent pockets that can flood in winter storms, and a busy main-road arterial running through the suburb makes for an installation profile all its own. We don’t quote a Rondebosch installation off a standard template — our site visit accounts for flood risk and existing wiring before we design a system.
Designing Around The Liesbeek River Corridor
Low-lying pockets near the Liesbeek River can flood during winter storms. On these properties we position ground-level equipment and cable runs to stay clear of standing water.
Installing On Rondebosch’s Grand Older Homes
Large historic homes near the schools often carry wiring that predates any thought of solar. We assess the distribution board and existing circuits on-site so the new system integrates properly, not just adds on top.

We Don't Just Install — We Maintain
At Thermo Group, our relationship with our Rondebosch clients doesn’t end when the solar installation is complete.
We offer ongoing maintenance and servicing for Rondebosch solar systems, helping ensure equipment keeps operating safely and efficiently despite the Liesbeek River corridor and the suburb’s older wiring. 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.

Book Your Rondebosch Solar Installation
Fill in your details below and our team will contact you to discuss your solar installation or maintenance needs in Rondebosch.
How much does solar installation cost in Rondebosch?
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 Rondebosch?
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.
My home is in one of the lower-lying areas near the Liesbeek River — does that matter?
Yes. We pay close attention to equipment height and drainage around ground-level components in Rondebosch’s low-lying pockets, since flooding risk is higher there than on higher ground nearby.
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.
