- Smaller homes. Many homes in Soweto use under 400 kWh a month. A 3kW system or an inverter and battery is often enough.
- Longer outages. Parts of Soweto see outages from cable theft and substation faults on top of load reduction. Size the battery for your longest usual outage.
- Hail. Highveld hailstorms reach Soweto most summers. Ask for panels with a published hail rating and check your insurance covers the system.
- Theft risk. Panel and battery theft is a concern in parts of Soweto. Anti-theft fasteners and keeping the inverter and battery indoors are worth asking about.
Registering a Solar System in Soweto
Most of Soweto is supplied directly by Eskom rather than City Power, so solar and battery systems are registered through Eskom's SSEG process. Check your bill before applying.
- Eskom application. With a single-line diagram, NRS 097-2-1 inverter certificate and CoC.
- Fees. Eskom has waived connection fees for systems up to 50kVA registered by 30 September 2026. Check whether that has been extended.
- City Power areas. Properties on a City Power account apply to City Power instead.
- More detail. See SSEG registration.
