What this business's certifications actually buy you
This listing states: COC. Here is what each of those means in practice, and what it does not cover.
Certificate of Compliance (COC)
Issued by Registered Electrical ContractorsLegal requirement for all electrical installations in South Africa. Proves your solar system meets safety standards.

What to ask TBS SOLAR (PTY) LTD 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.
- 1Warranty 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
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.

This listing has not been claimed by TBS SOLAR (PTY) LTD. It was compiled from public business records and the company's own published material, then checked for internal consistency. We publish it because an incomplete listing that says so is more useful than no listing at all, but treat every field as unverified until the business confirms it.
Not on file for this business: warranties. Those are gaps in our record, not necessarily gaps in the business.
Ratings and review counts shown are the public Google figures at the time of our last refresh and will drift. Something wrong here? Claim the listing or tell us and we will correct it.
