Fines between R6,000 and R30,000 looming for people with unregistered solar panels

• Fines between R6,000 and R30,000 will be imposed on people with unregistered solar panels after Eskom's grace period ends in two months.
• The registration process for residential rooftop solar power systems has been hindered by slow utility adoption, onerous paperwork, high costs, and concerns over potential fees for solar power users.
• The compliance crackdown is expected to impact thousands of households, with some municipalities already proposing additional fees for solar power users, sparking concerns among consumers and civil organisation groups.
