Pretoria East Registration Requirements
Properties in Pretoria East 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.
