What to check when hiring renewable energy installers in South Africa
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- In South Africa, electrical work must be signed off with a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) issued by a registered person. Insist on the CoC, and for plumbing look for PIRB or IOPSA registration, because without a valid CoC a future home-insurance claim can be refused.
- For a new home or major structural build, the builder must be registered with the NHBRC (National Home Builders Registration Council) and the home enrolled before construction. Check this before you pay a deposit.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemised quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
How to judge a renewable energy installer
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Any grid-tied renewable system (solar PV, battery, hybrid inverter) must be connected and certified by a registered electrician who issues an electrical Certificate of Compliance: verify their registration with the Department of Employment and Labour.
- Favour installers accredited under the PV GreenCard programme (SAPVIA) and confirm the system meets NRS 097 and is registered with your municipality where required for grid-tied or feed-in installations.
- Check the business is registered with CIPC, is VAT-registered if applicable, and carries public liability insurance.
- Get an itemised written quote with panel, inverter and battery make/model, output estimate and warranties.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Connects a grid-tied system without a registered electrician or an electrical Certificate of Compliance.
- Won't register a grid-tied system with the municipality where it's required, or ignores NRS 097.
- Cash-only with no tax invoice, or a large deposit up front.
- Vague on equipment, output estimate or warranties.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Who certifies the electrical work, and will I get an electrical Certificate of Compliance?
- Are you PV GreenCard accredited, and will the system meet NRS 097?
- Will the grid-tied system be registered with the municipality?
- What are the equipment and workmanship warranties?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy renewable energy installer?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A renewable energy installer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend renewable energy installers for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Renewable energy installers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a renewable energy installer?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the renewable energy installer, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
