Is your solar system actually legal?
Fee waivers end 30 September 2026. Find out where you stand — free, in about ten minutes, with no sales pitch attached.
Three things most solar owners don't know about their own system
1. Whether it's registered. Every grid-tied system under 100kW must be registered with your supplier — City Power, Tshwane, Ekurhuleni or Eskom. Plenty of systems installed during the load-shedding rush never were.
2. Whether the CoC is valid. A Certificate of Compliance can only be issued by an electrician registered with the Department of Employment and Labour. Not every system sold during the boom got one from someone entitled to issue it.
3. What it means for insurance. Insurers can decline a claim on a non-compliant installation. It can also hold up a property sale.
What the free check covers
- Confirmation of whether your system is registered with your supplier
- A review of your CoC and installation documentation
- A visual inspection of your DB board, inverter and array
- A plain-language written summary of what's compliant, what isn't, and what it costs to fix
- If everything's in order, we'll tell you that and leave you alone
No obligation to use us for any remedial work.
The deadline, plainly
Eskom's registration fee waiver was extended to 30 September 2026. After it lapses, registration plus a smart meter can run up to around R10,000 for urban customers. Municipal timelines vary. If you've been putting this off, this is the window.
