What this business's certifications actually buy you

This listing states: SABS. Here is what each of those means in practice, and what it does not cover.

Certifications are self-declared on unclaimed listings and are not independently audited by SolarZA. Ask for the certificate number and check it with the issuing body before you sign anything.

What to ask Bloemfontein Solar before you sign

These questions are generated from what this specific listing does and does not tell us. They are not accusations - a gap in a directory record usually means nobody has filled it in yet - but they are the gaps you should close yourself.

• 1The listed certifications do not mention a Certificate of Compliance. A COC is a legal requirement for the electrical work, not an optional extra, so confirm in writing that one will be issued and registered in your name.
• 2Warranty terms are not stated. Ask for three separately: the panel performance warranty, the inverter warranty, and the workmanship warranty on the installation itself. The third is the one that fails first and the one most installers do not put in writing.

What solar is worth at this location

Bloemfontein averages 5.8 kWh/m²/day across the year, dropping to 4.4 in June. On those figures a 5 kW array with a 5 kWh battery - the most commonly quoted household system in South Africa - generates roughly 17.2 kWh on an average winter day, 27.7 kWh in summer, and about 8 256 kWh a year. Bloemfontein has the best solar resource of any South African metro - around 12 percent more annual sun than Durban, from the same installed kW. The offsetting factor is winter frost and a genuinely cold night-time minimum, which matters for battery siting: lithium packs lose usable capacity below about 5 degrees and should not be mounted in an unheated outbuilding here.
