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 Piri 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.
• 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

Framesby, Gqeberha averages 5.2 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, 25.7 kWh in summer, and about 7 402 kWh a year. Gqeberha is the windiest metro in the country and that governs the mounting spec more than the panel choice does. Rail spans and clamp counts should be calculated for the local wind zone rather than taken from a national default, and roof-hook pull-out on older asbestos and IBR sheeting is the failure most often found on cheap installs here. Nelson Mandela Bay bills its own electricity and runs its own embedded generation registration.
