Document background
The Residential Solar PPA is designed for use in South Africa where solar providers seek to install and operate photovoltaic systems on residential properties, selling the generated electricity to the property owners/occupiers. This document type has become increasingly important with South Africa's energy crisis and the growth of renewable energy solutions. It addresses key aspects including system installation, energy pricing, maintenance responsibilities, and regulatory compliance, while incorporating consumer protections required under South African law. The agreement is structured to comply with NERSA requirements, municipal regulations, and national electricity legislation, making it suitable for residential solar installations across South African provinces. It includes provisions for grid connection, performance guarantees, and potential future system ownership transfer.
