Compare Solar Installers SandtonWhat Installers Should Plan For in Sandton
- Summer storms. Afternoon thunderstorms from October to March cut output on stormy days in Sandton. Size the battery so a cloudy afternoon does not leave you short.
- Higher usage. Pools, heat pumps, borehole pumps and bigger families in Sandton usually point to an 8kW or 10kW system.
- Business premises. Business premises in Sandton mostly run in the day, which suits grid-tied solar with little or no battery.
- Flat roofs. Modern homes in Sandton often have flat concrete or low-pitch roofs. Tilt frames and waterproofing details belong on the quote.
- Sectional title. Flats and townhouses in Sandton need body corporate approval and often have limited roof space. A battery backup system is a common starting point.
Sandton Registration Requirements
Most properties in Sandton 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 Sandton 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.
