In general, homeowners and business owners in the market for a solar PV system will source the system from trusted solar companies, with a reputation for quality solar products and expert workmanship, such as Renaissance Solar.

Perhaps you’ve reached the end of your financial tether with the latest tariff hike from Eskom, which came just before this last round of load shedding hit us all, and are asking; can I install solar PV myself?

You can, of course, source everything you need to carry out a DIY solar installation, however, there are a few pitfalls to be aware of before taking a step as drastic as this, especially if you aren’t actually qualified to carry out the planning and installation yourself. 

You may think that you’ll be saving on labour by installing the solar PV system yourself, however, you won’t have the peace of mind that comes from working with a professional solar PV system installer.

Can I install solar PV myself?
