What this business's certifications actually buy you

This listing states: PV_GreenCard. 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 TechHut 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.
• 2Trading 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

Umhlanga, 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.
