R30,000 fine for South Africans with solar panels scrapped

• South Africans are no longer subject to fines for failing to register rooftop solar systems by 30 September 2026.
• The electrical Certificate of Compliance (CoC) has become a crucial document in property transfers, requiring updates on photovoltaic arrays, battery storage, and maintenance manuals.
• Homeowners with solar panels face transfer risks, potential delays, and the need for engineering sign-offs and verified certificate issuers to avoid legal issues.
