• Strong technical knowledge of residential solar PV systems.
• Hands-on experience with rooftop solar panel mounting and installation.
• Good understanding of inverters, batteries, cabling and system integration.
• Strong attention to quality, safety and workmanship.
• Based in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town.
• A wiremans license would be an advantage.
• Ability to lead a team and ensure quality projects are delivered.
Must have valid drivers license and own transport.

The role:

• Contract-based – required to be onsite during installations only.
• No requirement to attend an office daily.
• Installations are generally within the Cape Town area – mostly Southern Suburbs.

How does Electric Vehicle (EV) consumption compare to a petrol powered car?

🚗💰 **R100 gets you TWICE as far in an EV!**

Petrol vs electricity — the numbers are hard to ignore:
Using the CoCT Residential block 2 electricity tariff of R4,56 per kWh:

⛽ Petrol: R100 = ±55 km
⚡ EV: R100 = ±115 km

That’s **60 km more driving for the same R100!**

But here’s where it gets really interesting… ☀️

What if you could charge your EV using your own solar power?

Instead of buying electricity to charge your car, you can use the sun to power your daily commute — potentially cutting your driving costs even further.

🔋 Solar PV
☀️ Battery storage
🚗 EV charging

One integrated solution. One investment. Lower ongoing energy costs.

At Newfield, we design, supply and install solar and EV solutions tailored to your home and energy needs.

📲 Thinking about an EV? Already own one? Let’s work out how much you could save by charging from the sun.

Is your solar system performing optimally? Do you know if all components are working properly?

Home solar solutions are complex systems with numerous components, many of which are exposed to heat, sunlight and high voltage. These can have a negative effect on the system, particularly if connections between the various components become worn, loose or damaged. This can include broken connections, over heating and burned insulation, which lead to less than optimal performance.

Newfield HealthCheck is an inspection and maintenance service to check that all components of your solar system are safe and in good working order. We inspect panels, cables, batteries and inverters as well as all connections between the various components to identify any environmental damage or loose connections. We rectify as required to ensure the system works as designed.

The service incudes cleaning of panels, as well as inverter and battery filters. We then update the inverter and battery firmware if required.

Finally we make recommendations on improvements or configuration changes to improve the efficiency of your system.

Annual maintenance of solar systems is a requirement of many product warranties and without it manufacturers may not honour the warranty in the case of failure related to poor maintenance.

Is entry level solar PV worth it for a smaller residential consumer?

To find out we looked at five customers with similar systems – Newfield Flex with 4 to 6 solar panels, a 5kW inverter, a 5kWh hour Li-Ion battery and an efficient ceramic geyser element.

These systems do not feed back to the utility grid and use solar power to keep the battery charged – the battery is used for some night time consumption and during power outages. The systems power all lights, most plug circuits and the energy efficient geysers.

The price of the systems fully installed and registered with the city ranged from R68,000 to R120,000.

We have used the City of Cape Town Home User tariff in our calculations. This is a 2 tier tariff where the costs are related to usage. Less than 600 kWh = R 3.4351 and more than 600 kWh is R 475.39 per kWh. There is a fixed charge included in the calculation of R 281.78 per month.

Using the above tariffs based on data for the year January 2025 to December 2025 an annual saving of R 19,798 is calculated.

What is important to note is that the more expensive tier 2 above 600 kWh has been eliminated completely.

On an entry level system with a single 5kW battery the cost is covered in less than 5 years - and that does NOT include regular tariff increases which are expected to be between 12 and 18% annually.

Solar PV has never been more affordable and is a great investment!
