Eskom’s warning to solar users in South Africa

Power utility Eskom has warned solar users in South Africa that they have only until March 2026 to avoid hefty registration fees for their systems.

Failing to do so could see costs shoot up to over R50,000 to meet the utility’s installation and registration requirements.

The utility has launched a new campaign to help residential owners of Small Scale Embedded Generation (SSEG) systems—including photovoltaic (PV) installation systems—become compliant with national regulations.

National regulator Nersa requires that all SSEG owners register with Eskom or their local municipality, depending on who supplies the area.
