Rooi-Els is a small village where Clarence Drive meets the Rooi-Els River, set between steep mountains and the sea on the edge of the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve. Homes here are close to the water, many on steep plots, and most are holiday houses or peaceful full-time retreats.

Its location makes a well-designed backup system especially valuable, but it also makes installation demanding. Salt spray, strong wind, wet winters and baboons all need to be planned for. We design every Rooi-Els system with these conditions in mind, using equipment we install regularly, including SunSynk inverters and Hubble lithium batteries.

What Matters For A Rooi-Els Solar Installation

🌊

Salt-Spray Resistant

Corrosion-resistant mounting, sealed isolators and connectors, and equipment kept indoors wherever possible.

⛰️

Steep Sites & Exposed Roofs

Roof structures and fixings checked carefully, with mounting suited to wind on exposed, elevated homes.

🔋

Strong Backup Capacity

Battery storage sized so the essentials stay on through outages, with room to expand later.

A Remote Village Needs Dependable Backup

Rooi-Els is a quiet village with only a small number of homes, and owners here value being self-sufficient. A hybrid solar system with the right battery capacity keeps lights, Wi-Fi, fridges, pumps and security running during outages. For full-time residents, we size the system for daily living and evenings. For holiday homes, we make sure security and essentials stay powered while the house is empty, and set up remote monitoring so you can check it from Cape Town.

Salt Spray And Wind

Homes close to the water take direct salt spray, and the village is exposed to strong wind from the sea and down the mountains. Poorly chosen components fail quickly here. We use corrosion-resistant rails and stainless fasteners, correctly rated connectors and sealed enclosures, and we keep inverters and batteries indoors wherever possible. On steep plots and elevated homes, we inspect the roof structure and fixing points carefully and use mounting suitable for exposed sites.

Baboons And Protected Cabling

Baboons are common along this part of the coast and can damage loose cables and exposed fittings. We run all cabling in protective conduit or trunking, avoid loose runs on roofs and walls, and finish installations neatly so nothing invites attention.

Winter Performance And Safety

Winters are wetter and cloudier on this coast, so we size the array and battery on year-round usage. With fynbos all around, we install correct DC and AC isolation, surge protection and protected cabling, and certify the system on completion.

Built For Rooi-Els Conditions — And Maintained Afterwards

A solar system in Rooi-Els has to cope with direct salt spray, strong wind, wet winters and baboons. We build that into the installation from day one, and we stay involved afterwards.

After your installation we can service the system, check the panels, mounting, cabling and connections, update inverter settings and investigate any drop in performance. If you already have a system installed by another company that isn’t performing, we can inspect it, find the fault and repair it. See our Solar Maintenance and Solar Repairs & Fault Finding pages.

SSEG Registration With Overstrand Municipality

Any solar or battery system connected to your property’s electrical supply in Rooi-Els must be installed by a registered electrician and certified. If the system is grid-tied or hybrid, it must also be registered as a Small-Scale Embedded Generator (SSEG) with Overstrand Municipality before it is used — or with Eskom if your property is supplied directly by Eskom, as many farms are.

Thermo Group handles this for you: we use inverters on the approved list, complete the application and supporting documents, issue the Solar Certificate of Compliance and electrical COC, and deal with any follow-up questions from the municipality. Getting this right protects your insurance, avoids penalties and makes a future property sale much simpler.

Rooi-Els Solar Installation FAQs

Is solar suitable for a home right on the sea in Rooi-Els?

Yes, with the right components. We use corrosion-resistant mounting, sealed enclosures and indoor equipment placement, and recommend periodic servicing for homes exposed to salt spray.

How much battery do I need in Rooi-Els?

It depends on what you want to keep running and for how long. We assess your usage and backup priorities and size the battery accordingly, with room to expand later.

Can you install on a steep plot?

Yes. We inspect the roof structure and access carefully and plan the installation and mounting for the site.

Do you protect the system from baboons?

Yes. Cabling is run in protective conduit or trunking, and inverters and batteries are installed indoors or in secure enclosures.

Do you handle SSEG registration with Overstrand Municipality?

Yes. We prepare and submit the SSEG application, supply the inverter certificates and wiring diagrams, and issue the Solar Certificate of Compliance and electrical COC. If your property is supplied directly by Eskom, we follow Eskom’s process instead.

How much does a solar installation cost in Rooi-Els?

It depends on your usage, what you want to back up, battery size and your roof. A small backup system for essentials costs far less than a system that runs the whole property. We assess your property and electricity use first, then give you a detailed, itemised quote rather than a generic estimate.

I had a wonderful experience with Thermo Group when I needed electrical issues fixed at my home.
From the very beginning, the service was excellent. Nikita, the office administrator who assisted me with booking the job, was incredibly helpful, friendly and professional. She made the booking process smooth and effortless.
Warwick, the technician who attended to the electrical issues, was equally impressive. He was professional, knowledgeable and efficient, and I truly appreciated the service he provided.
It's refreshing to deal with a company that values its customers and delivers such great service from the office right through to the technical team.
A big thank you to Nikita, Warwick and the entire Thermo Group team! I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and professional assistance.
Keep up the excellent work! 👏

Warwick came out over the weekend to attend to my lights that were not working, and I was truly impressed with how helpful, efficient and professional he and his team were. It is not often that you come across a team that is so willing to assist, even over weekends.
Thank you, Warwick, and the team, for going the extra mile and ensuring that the problem was attended to. Your dedication and excellent service are truly appreciated!
I would definitely recommend Thermoelectrics Compliance, Solar, Electrical & Plumbing to anyone looking for reliable and professional service. 💡⚡

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thermo Group delivered exceptional service from start to finish.  From my first contact with Nikita who listened to me & responded urgently, to the electricians Alfred and Phato who arrived promptly, quickly found the problem and returned over the weekend to make repairs at short notice and even waited without complaint for 2 hours for the municipal contractor, to Warwick who was available around the clock and went above and beyond to check in with me and to get the City to restore my power after it simply closed my case after 6 hours. The team’s professionalism, clear communication and follow-through, genuine care and support are rare. I highly recommend Thema Group.

Alfred made the effort to keep us in the loop at all times and went above and beyond to resolve issues. The team were considerate of us working from home but still very quick and efficient. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
