What to ask Electrical Wholesale Supplier & Distributor 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.

• 1No certification is published on this listing. Ask for the registered electrical contractor number of whoever will issue your Certificate of Compliance, and confirm that person is the one doing the work rather than a name borrowed for the paperwork.
• 2This listing shows inverter brands but no battery brands. If you want backup during an outage, confirm which battery they intend to pair and whether it is on the inverter manufacturer's approved compatibility list - mismatched pairs are the most common cause of a system that works but never charges properly.
• 3Trading history is not published here. Ask how long the business has traded under its current registration, not the owner's years in the industry. A twenty-year electrician can still be running a two-month-old company, and your workmanship warranty is only as durable as the entity behind it.

What solar is worth at this location

Bellville, Cape Town averages 5.2 kWh/m²/day across the year, dropping to 2.9 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 11.3 kWh on an average winter day, 29.6 kWh in summer, and about 7 402 kWh a year. Cape Town has the sharpest summer-to-winter swing of any South African metro: a roof that clears 7 kWh per installed kW in January can fall under 3 in June. Size a Cape Town array on the June figure or the system will disappoint for exactly the four months you rely on it most. The City of Cape Town also runs its own small-scale embedded generation approval process and requires a registered, bi-directional meter before any grid-tied inverter is commissioned, which the City bills for separately. South-easter loading on exposed Atlantic Seaboard and False Bay roofs pushes mounting rail spans shorter than the manufacturer default.
