Compare Solar Installers MidrandWhat Installers Should Plan For in Midrand
- Lightning. Gauteng has some of the highest lightning activity in South Africa. DC and AC surge protection and proper earthing should be on every quote in Midrand.
- Flats and complexes. Complexes in Midrand usually need trustee approval for anything on the roof. Many owners start with an inverter and battery indoors.
- Daytime businesses. Offices, shops and practices in Midrand use most of their power in daylight, which makes commercial solar straightforward to size.
- Estate rules. Many estates in Midrand have HOA or architectural rules on panel placement, visible inverters and approved contractors. Get approval in writing before paying a deposit.
- Unplanned outages. Local faults in Midrand can outlast a scheduled outage. Many buyers choose 10kWh of battery rather than 5kWh.
Registration and Compliance in Midrand
Most properties in Midrand 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. Parts of Midrand are supplied directly by Eskom, so check who your bill comes from first.
- 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.
Checking an Installer
- Inverter model number. Checked for NRS 097-2-1 certification before you pay a deposit.
- Itemised quote. Inverter kW, usable battery kWh, panel wattage and brands.
- Aftercare. Who responds to faults and what a call-out costs.
- Who issues the CoC. Name and Department of Employment and Labour registration number.
