on South African solar users constitute “fake news”. There is no proposed special levy for solar users.
Additionally, many households also receive a discount on the energy they feed back into the grid, depending on their area and municipal provider, which means that solar users can save thousands on their bills over time. It’s not usually advised that that users go completely off-grid as this requires exponentially more battery capacity and carries a much higher price tag, but even an 80% off-grid system offers significant long-term savings despite any changes in Eskom tariffs.
Unfortunately, it’s all too common for the infamous bakkie brigade to install poor quality, illegal solar systems without submitting the correct documentation or alerting the homeowners that they need to register the system.
