Compare Solar Installers NewlandsWhat Installers Should Plan For in Newlands
- Family homes. Most homes in Newlands use 400 to 800 kWh a month. A 5kW system with 5 to 10kWh of battery is the usual starting point.
- Older electrics. Houses in Newlands built decades ago often have ageing wiring and no earth leakage protection on some circuits. Expect the installer to fix that first.
- Shading from trees. Big gardens and street trees in Newlands can shade roofs in the morning or afternoon. Optimisers or split strings reduce the loss where shade cannot be avoided.
- Summer storms. Afternoon thunderstorms from October to March cut output on stormy days in Newlands. Size the battery so a cloudy afternoon does not leave you short.
Registering a Solar System in Newlands
Properties in Newlands 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.
