# Is Your Solar System Legal, Safe and Registered?
**You are legally responsible** for the safety of your solar system. CleanVolts audits, fixes and registers existing systems across northern Joburg.

Thousands of solar systems went up across Johannesburg during the load-shedding rush of 2022 and 2023. A lot of them were installed fast, by whoever was available, and never registered with the municipality.
If yours was one of them, you have no way of knowing whether it is safe, whether your insurer would pay out, or whether it will hold up a property transfer.
What most homeowners do not know is that the responsibility sits with you. **The user of an electrical installation, including its solar system, is legally responsible for its safety, safe use and maintenance.** In a home you own and live in, that is you. Not the installer who has moved on.
CleanVolts tells you where you stand. We audit, fix, register, re-tune and maintain the solar system you already have.
## What a Compliance Audit Covers
- Full physical inspection of the system as installed
- Thermal scan of connections, DB boards and isolators to find heat before it becomes a fire
- DC cabling, earthing, bonding and isolator checks against SANS requirements
- Labelling and documentation gaps
- SSEG registration status with your municipality
- A written report with photographs, and every finding ranked by how urgently it needs attention
**Audits run between R3,500 and R6,000 depending on system size.** If anything needs work, you get an itemised remediation quote, with no obligation to use us for it. The electrical work is done by a registered electrical contractor you appoint directly, and they issue the Certificate of Compliance under their own registration.
## Why This Matters Now
Load shedding has stopped. That is not a reason to stop thinking about your solar system — it is the reason to start.
**Insurers are increasingly asking for a CoC** before paying a claim on fire or lightning damage.
**City Power is enforcing SSEG registration,** and registering moves you onto postpaid billing with a materially higher fixed monthly charge. It is worth knowing that number before it appears on your bill.
**Conveyancers** are picking up unregistered solar during transfers, and it **stalls the sale**.
And **electricity keeps getting more expensive** in a way that specifically punishes the system you already bought.
None of these are hypothetical. They are the four reasons people call us.
## Working, But Costing You More Than It Should?
A system specified for load shedding in 2023 is set up for the wrong thing in 2026. Nothing is broken — it is just **aimed at surviving an outage rather than at cutting your bill**.
If your savings are smaller than you expected, that is usually configuration, not equipment.
## Where We Work
Blairgowrie, Linden, Randburg, Ferndale, Northcliff, Fairland, Emmarentia, Greenside and Parkhurst, and the suburbs around them.
