Mphahlele says the nature of the complaints received also indicated that consumers have little awareness and little understanding of the highly technical product and installation specifications of solar energy systems and generators.
The CGSO offers these tips to consumers who want to insulate themselves from poor service and expensive mistakes: Ensure that the inverter and batteries are installed with surge protection, as most warranties do not cover surge damage. Planning for a solar energy system will require that you analyse your electricity use, implement energy efficiency measures, decide if you want to operate your system entirely off-grid or use a hybrid solution and then finally select the technologies to help you meet your objectives, says Teresa Kok, marketing director at One Energy.
This is the first step towards getting ready for a solar system. Kok says a thorough examination of your electricity needs will help you to determine the size and cost of the system you will need and show the fluctuations in your energy usage during the day and night and over the months to manage peak demands.
“Based on this, we work out what your essential and non-essential loads are and design the right size system and back-up for your needs. The essential load refers to all the appliances or circuits that must stay on and back-up in a power outage,” Kok says.
