What to ask MPT Solar Mounting 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.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 4There 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.

What solar is worth at this location

Newcastle averages 5.4 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, 24.2 kWh in summer, and about 7 687 kWh a year. Newcastle sits on the KwaZulu-Natal Highveld and has a winter profile closer to Gauteng than to Durban, with roughly 20 percent more June sun than the coast. Winter frost is a real consideration for ground-mount and for water-based solar geyser systems in a way it never is in Durban.
