Solar installers in Joburg South

Rosettenville was laid out in 1886 by Leo Rosettenstein, who surveyed the land and sold stands soon after gold was found on the Witwatersrand. His son Ally carried on the development, and some streets carry family names. By the 1920s it was a working-class suburb of English- and Afrikaans-speaking South Africans.

Between 1924 and 1972 more than 50,000 Portuguese-speaking immigrants settled in the greater Rosettenville area, and it became known as Little Portugal. The first Nando's restaurant opened there in 1987. After the Group Areas Act was repealed in 1991, migrants from other southern African countries moved in while many older residents moved north. The 2011 census counted about 17,300 people in 2.3 square kilometres.

Johannesburg South covers a belt of small older houses and flats in Rosettenville and Turffontein, with suburbs such as Mondeor, Glenvista and Meredale further south. St Peter's College and St Mary's Anglican Church are among its older institutions, and Wemmer Pan is a local landmark. The M68 Old Potchefstroom Road links the area to Soweto.

For your solar or backup power: In City Power areas, solar PV has to be approved before installation. City Power describes a process of an application number, an emailed PV form, a site inspection, then a Certificate of Compliance and commissioning form after installation.
