Eskom is urging owners of grid-connected rooftop solar systems to complete required steps before a stated September deadline, noting that a fee waiver for eligible installations remains available only until 30 September 2026. The utility’s guidance focuses on what system owners must do to qualify and remain compliant with Eskom’s processes.
According to Eskom’s communications reported by IOL, the article explains who qualifies for the waiver, what documentation is required, and why registration matters even for households or businesses whose systems do not export electricity to the grid. The emphasis is on ensuring installations are properly registered in Eskom’s framework so the waiver can apply and customers understand ongoing obligations.
While only one source is provided here, the core elements highlighted are Eskom’s deadline, the scope of eligibility, and the administrative steps required for grid-connected rooftop solar systems. The guidance also addresses misconceptions around “exporting” by clarifying that non-exporting configurations still need registration under the relevant rules.
