Compare Solar Installers GroenkloofWhat Installers Should Plan For in Groenkloof
- Summer storms. Afternoon thunderstorms from October to March cut output on stormy days in Groenkloof. Size the battery so a cloudy afternoon does not leave you short.
- Older electrics. Houses in Groenkloof built decades ago often have ageing wiring and no earth leakage protection on some circuits. Expect the installer to fix that first.
- Exposed ridges. Homes on the ridges and slopes of Groenkloof catch strong storm gusts. Mounts should be fixed into rafters, not clipped to tiles.
- Shading from trees. Big gardens and street trees in Groenkloof can shade roofs in the morning or afternoon. Optimisers or split strings reduce the loss where shade cannot be avoided.
Registration and Compliance in Groenkloof
Properties in Groenkloof are supplied by the City of Tshwane in most cases. Tshwane requires solar and installed battery systems to be approved as embedded generation before they are connected, even if you never export.
- Application first. Your installer applies to Tshwane's electricity department with a single-line diagram showing the point of connection. Queries go to sseg@tshwane.gov.za.
- Approved inverter. Third-party NRS 097-2-1 certification for the exact inverter model.
- Export. Only with approval and a bidirectional meter. Tshwane reviews its tariffs every July.
- Eskom supply. If your bill comes from Eskom, register with Eskom instead. See SSEG registration.
