Compare Solar Installers North RidingWhat Installers Should Plan For in North Riding
- Estate rules. Many estates in North Riding have HOA or architectural rules on panel placement, visible inverters and approved contractors. Get approval in writing before paying a deposit.
- Summer storms. Afternoon thunderstorms from October to March cut output on stormy days in North Riding. Size the battery so a cloudy afternoon does not leave you short.
- Pre-wired homes. Some newer developments in North Riding are pre-wired for an inverter. Tell installers, since it can cut labour.
- Longer cable runs. Where the panels, inverter and house are far apart, as on many plots near North Riding, cable size and voltage drop add real cost. Get it itemised.
Registering a Solar System in North Riding
Most properties in North Riding 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.
