Solar tariffs and regulations in South Africa
In South Africa, electricity tariffs vary by location: some areas are billed directly by Eskom, others by municipality. solarVis handles both, with the most common Eskom and municipal tariffs, Time-of-Use schedules, and NERSA-aligned compliance for grid-tied residential systems built in.
