Frequently asked questions

Do I need municipal approval for solar in South Africa?

Grid-tied systems generally require SSEG registration with your municipality and a CoC signed by a qualified electrician. Off-grid/backup-only inverter systems still need a legal CoC but usually no feed-in registration. Requirements vary by municipality - your installer should handle the paperwork.

What size inverter do I need for load-shedding?

For essentials (lights, Wi-Fi, TV, fridge, security): 3-5kVA inverter with a 5kWh battery. To run geyser or stove too, budget 8kVA+ and 10kWh+ of storage.
