Residential solar systems, also known as photovoltaic (PV) systems, are becoming an increasingly popular choice for homeowners looking to reduce their energy costs and increase their use of clean, renewable energy. These systems work by converting sunlight into electricity that can be used to power a home.
This program is administered by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA). In addition, the National Treasury has announced a solar water heater rebate program for households and commercial entities. This program provides a rebate of up to 50% of the cost of a solar water heating system, up to a maximum of R20,000.
