## Is Your Solar System Legal and Safe?
Most homeowners have no way of judging the solar system on their own roof. You cannot see the DC side, you were probably not there when it was wired, and the installer handed over a set of keys and a smile.
This free checklist gives you a way to check it yourself, in about ten minutes, without touching anything.
## What Is in the Checklist
What the law makes you, the owner, responsible for
The documents you should have been given, and what to do if you were not
How to tell whether your system is registered with the municipality, and what registration does to your monthly bill
Six things you can see from the ground that suggest poor workmanship
The labelling that is legally required, and where to look for it
What to do about each answer that worries you
## Who It Is For
Homeowners with a system installed during the load-shedding rush who have never had it checked
Anyone about to sell a house with solar on the roof
Anyone who has been asked for a Certificate of Compliance and does not have one
## Get the Checklist
Enter your details below and we will email it to you straight away. No cost, and we will not phone you unless you ask us to.
## What Happens After You Download It
You read it, and you work through your own system. If everything checks out, it cost you nothing and you know where you stand.
If something on the list worries you, book a compliance audit and we will tell you exactly what you are dealing with.
## Buying a New System Instead?
That is a different question and it has its own guide. Read what a solar quote in Joburg should contain before you sign anything.
