City of Cape Town Cash for Power feed-in scheme and SSEG approved inverter framework

City of Cape Town 'Cash for Power' & SSEG Framework

The City of Cape Town leads South Africa in embedded generation by allowing private homeowners and businesses to earn cash or bill credits for feeding excess solar power into the grid. To qualify, your solar system must be officially registered, feature an AMI bi-directional smart meter, and use an inverter from the City's strictly audited whitelist.

Our approved Cape Town installation partners manage the full municipal sign-off process, ensuring your inverter complies with NRS 097-2-1 anti-islanding parameters and providing full engineering documentation for prompt City of Cape Town authorization.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar in Cape Town

Authoritative guidance on City of Cape Town SSEG feed-in tariffs, inverter approvals, and winter generation.

Under the City of Cape Town Cash for Power program, commercial and residential customers who generate excess solar power can sell it back into the municipal grid. The City credits your municipal rates and electricity account, and for net-exporting commercial and residential accounts, pays out cash once credits exceed the municipal account balance.

The City of Cape Town maintains a strict whitelist of NRS 097-2-1 certified inverters. Sunsynk, Deye, Victron Energy (MultiPlus-II & Quattro), and GoodWe are on the approved list. All installations connected through our network strictly utilize whitelisted inverters to guarantee seamless municipal sign-off.

The City of Cape Town issues service disconnection notices and financial service fines for unauthorized or non-whitelisted solar grid connections. Furthermore, home insurance policies routinely void fire and lightning damage claims if the system lacks an approved CoCT SSEG registration and SANS CoC.

During Cape Town's winter rainfall months (May to August), daily solar production averages around 3.4 peak sun hours compared to 7.2 peak sun hours in summer. Installers counter this by installing slightly oversized PV arrays (e.g. 10x 550W panels for an 8kW inverter) and configuring smart grid-charging windows during off-peak hours.
