Photovoltaic Industry Association welcomes Eskom’s solar fee waiver extension to 2026

# The South African Photovoltaic Industry Association has welcomed Eskom’s extension of its zero-registration fee and free smart meter installation for small-scale solar systems until March 2026. SAPVIA says this reduces costs and boosts compliance for solar adoption. Eligible households can save over nine-thousand-rand. The association urges residents to act fast, meet safety standards, and register systems to support South Africa’s clean energy shift.
