- Business premises. Business premises in Illovo mostly run in the day, which suits grid-tied solar with little or no battery.
- DB upgrades. Many older homes in Illovo need a new distribution board or an essential circuit board before solar goes in. Get it priced as its own line.
Registering a Solar System in Illovo
Most properties in Illovo 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.
