What this business's certifications actually buy you

This listing states: ECA. 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 Industrial and commercial electrical and energy solutions 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.
• 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.
• 3There is little or no public review history on file. Ask for two reference installations completed in the last year within 30 km of you, and phone them. A small review count is not a red flag on its own - plenty of good installers never chase reviews - but it does mean you have to do the verification yourself.
• 4This business advertises a wide service area. Confirm who physically attends a callout at your address and what the response time is, because a wide footprint is often subcontracted and the warranty conversation gets complicated when the installing team is not the contracted party.

What solar is worth at this location

Phoenix, Durban averages 4.9 kWh/m²/day across the year, dropping to 3.6 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 14.0 kWh on an average winter day, 23.4 kWh in summer, and about 6 975 kWh a year. Durban has the lowest annual irradiance of the major metros, so a Durban array needs roughly 15 percent more installed kW than a Bloemfontein one to produce the same units. It also has the country's worst combination for equipment life: salt air plus year-round humidity. Inverters mounted in an unventilated garage on the coastal strip fail early, and eThekwini requires its own embedded-generation application with a compliant bi-directional meter.
