Thermo Group — Solar Experts You Can Trust
Affordable solar installations for homes and businesses in Simon’s Town — quality workmanship, transparent pricing, no premium mark-up.
At Thermo Group, we install solar PV, battery and hybrid systems throughout Simon’s Town — a historic naval town on False Bay where sea spray reaches every rooftop and many homes carry heritage restrictions. We design every Simon’s Town system around those conditions from the first site visit, not as an afterthought.
Our experienced team handles the complete solar installation process in Simon’s Town — 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 area’s naval-base salt air and heritage rooftops. 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 Simon's Town
Naval Base Salt Air & Hardware
Simon’s Town’s working naval harbour means salt-laden sea spray reaches every property, not just the ones with a harbour view. We specify marine-grade brackets, connectors and earthing hardware from day one.
Heritage Rooftop Considerations
Many Simon’s Town homes along the historic main road are Victorian or Cape Dutch, some under heritage protection. We plan panel layout and mounting to respect the roofline and, where required, heritage sign-off.
Hillside Sun Exposure
Newer homes climbing the hillside toward Boulders Beach get more open sun than the harbour-front streets below, but exposed slopes need properly wind-rated mounting.
Why A Simon’s Town Solar Installation Isn’t A Generic Cape Town Job
Simon’s Town is a historic naval town wrapped around False Bay, and that combination of a working harbour and heritage architecture makes it unlike most Cape Town suburbs we install in. Sea spray reaches further inland here than homeowners expect, and a number of properties along the historic main road carry heritage restrictions on what can be done to their roofs. We don’t quote a Simon’s Town installation off a standard template — our site visit accounts for both the corrosion risk and the roofline before we recommend a system.
Built For Naval Base Salt Air From Day One
A working naval harbour and open False Bay frontage mean salt-laden air reaches every Simon’s Town rooftop, from the waterfront to the hillside above. Every installation gets marine-grade brackets, connectors and earthing hardware from the outset, so corrosion isn’t something that shows up in year two.
Designing Around Heritage Rooftops
Homes along Simon’s Town’s historic main road are often Victorian or Cape Dutch in character, and some fall under heritage protection. We plan panel placement and cable routing to work with the roofline rather than against it, and can liaise on heritage requirements where they apply.

We Don't Just Install — We Maintain
At Thermo Group, our relationship with our Simon’s Town clients doesn’t end when the solar installation is complete.
We offer ongoing maintenance and servicing for Simon’s Town solar systems, helping ensure equipment keeps operating safely and efficiently despite the naval base’s salt air and its historic rooflines. 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 Simon’s Town.
How much does solar installation cost in Simon’s Town?
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 Simon’s Town?
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.
Does Simon’s Town’s naval and heritage housing stock affect installation?
It can. Many Simon’s Town homes are older heritage properties along the coast road, so we work carefully around existing roof structures, and we specify corrosion-resistant hardware suited to the exposed False Bay position and strong summer South-Easter wind.
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.
