Eskom regards all solar power systems connected to its grid without registration to be “illegal” and “unsafe,” regardless of whether they have a CoC and been configured not to feed electricity back into the grid.
Eskom says that all grid-tied solar power systems connected to its network that are not registered with the power utility are “illegal”, even if they are not feeding electricity back into the grid.
Eskom duly informed the community members that all their solar installations were “illegal” because they were not registered with the utility, even if they were not feeding electricity back into the grid. The officer reiterated that anyone pulling Eskom electricity through their solar power systems had an “unsafe” and illegal connection if it was not registered with Eskom.
The MyBroadband forum customer was quoted R27,000 to make his system complaint with Eskom’s requirements, while a neighbour had to pay R50,000.
