Compare Solar Installers RoodepoortRoodepoort Conditions That Affect Solar
- Older electrics. Houses in Roodepoort built decades ago often have ageing wiring and no earth leakage protection on some circuits. Expect the installer to fix that first.
- Mine dust. Properties near mine dumps around Roodepoort collect fine dust on panels, especially in dry, windy August. Budget for more frequent panel cleaning.
- Estate rules. Many estates in Roodepoort have HOA or architectural rules on panel placement, visible inverters and approved contractors. Get approval in writing before paying a deposit.
- Evening peaks. Families in Roodepoort use most of their power in the evening. A battery that carries the evening lets the panels save more.
- 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 Roodepoort.
Registering a Solar System in Roodepoort
Most properties in Roodepoort 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.
Before You Appoint an Installer
- Aftercare. Who responds to faults and what a call-out costs.
- Itemised quote. Inverter kW, usable battery kWh, panel wattage and brands.
- Inverter model number. Checked for NRS 097-2-1 certification before you pay a deposit.
- Paperwork included. SSEG application, CoC and any meter change listed on the quote.
