Compare Solar Installers FerndaleWhat Installers Should Plan For in Ferndale
- Hail. Highveld hailstorms reach Ferndale most summers. Ask for panels with a published hail rating and check your insurance covers the system.
- Older electrics. Houses in Ferndale built decades ago often have ageing wiring and no earth leakage protection on some circuits. Expect the installer to fix that first.
- Evening peaks. Families in Ferndale use most of their power in the evening. A battery that carries the evening lets the panels save more.
- Daytime businesses. Offices, shops and practices in Ferndale use most of their power in daylight, which makes commercial solar straightforward to size.
Registering a Solar System in Ferndale
Most properties in Ferndale buy electricity from City Power, Johannesburg's municipal utility. City Power expects solar and installed battery systems to be approved before they are installed, even if you never export.
- Pre-approval. An application to City Power's SSEG office, followed by a site inspection, before the system goes in.
- Documents. Single-line diagram, NRS 097-2-1 inverter certificate, then the CoC and PV commissioning form after installation.
- Metering. City Power fits a bidirectional smart meter at your cost and moves SSEG customers from prepaid to postpaid. Ask what that does to your fixed charges.
- Eskom accounts. If your bill comes from Eskom, register with Eskom instead. See SSEG registration.
Before You Appoint an Installer

- Warranties in writing. Equipment and workmanship, with periods and conditions.
- Surge protection. DC and AC surge arrestors and earthing listed, not assumed.
