Homes or businesses that have onsite renewable energy generation will benefit from lower electricity costs and contribute to a more secure and sustainable future for Cape Town.

All solar PV systems installed within the City’s electricity supply area must be authorized by COCT or Eskom . Registration is legally required in terms of the City of Cape Town Electricity Supply By-Law, 2010 and ensures the safety of anyone who comes into contact with the PV system or the grid itself.

Registration also makes sure that all those who are using electricity from the grid pay for their usage accordingly. Running your meter backwards or avoiding paying your share of the grid upkeep is illegal and puts greater strain on the rest of the city.
