Compare Solar Installers Menlo ParkWhat Installers Should Plan For in Menlo Park
- DB upgrades. Many older homes in Menlo Park need a new distribution board or an essential circuit board before solar goes in. Get it priced as its own line.
- Tree shade. Mature trees are common in Menlo Park. Ask for a shading check across the day and the seasons before the panel layout is fixed.
- Daytime businesses. Offices, shops and practices in Menlo Park use most of their power in daylight, which makes commercial solar straightforward to size.

Registering a Solar System in Menlo Park
Properties in Menlo Park 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.
