Common Questions Before Buying Solar

What is a PV GreenCard and do I really need one?

The PV GreenCard is South Africa's industry-standard compliance report, proving that your system was installed by a qualified, assessed technician to national standards. Every installer in the JoburgSolar network is 100% PV GreenCard accredited and registered with SAPVIA & SESSA. Our certified partners issue an official PV GreenCard report with every single installation, giving you verified proof that your system is safe, legal, and recognized by all authorities.

Will installing solar void my home insurance?

Not with JoburgSolar. Home insurers require an official Electrical Certificate of Compliance (CoC) issued by a registered electrician specifically covering the new solar and battery installation. Our certified installation partners always issue a signed CoC upon completion of every installation, ensuring your homeowner's insurance policy remains 100% valid and fully protected against electrical faults or fire claims.

Do I need to register my solar system with City Power or Eskom?

Yes. All grid-connected solar installations in Johannesburg must legally be registered as Small-Scale Embedded Generation (SSEG) systems with City Power or Eskom to prevent fines and billing penalties. Our installation partners handle the entire municipal SSEG registration paperwork, single-line diagrams, and sign-offs for you from start to finish, so your installation is completely compliant without any administrative hassle on your side.

How do I know if a solar battery brand is trustworthy?

Stick to proven Tier-1 brands with authorized South African service centres and direct manufacturer warranties. JoburgSolar installers strictly install genuine, industry-leading battery systems—including Freedom Won, Sunsynk, Deye, and Pylontech. Every battery carries a minimum 10-year / 6,000-cycle manufacturer-backed warranty with local technical support, ensuring you never risk cheap grey-market imports.

What inverter warranty should I expect for a solar installation?

The standard is a minimum 5-year manufacturer warranty on inverters (frequently extendable to 10 years), with 25-year performance warranties on Tier-1 solar panels. All equipment supplied by JoburgSolar certified partners comes with full official manufacturer warranties. We never supply or install uncertified equipment with substandard warranties.

How much does a solar system typically cost in Johannesburg?

A complete hybrid solar system (panels, inverter, and battery storage) for a standard Johannesburg home typically ranges from R75,000 to R150,000, while dedicated inverter & battery backup systems (without panels) start around R25,000. Because every roof, DB board, and consumption pattern is unique, our certified installer will conduct a free, in-person site assessment to inspect your property and provide an exact, itemised quotation tailored to your home with zero obligation.
