  "summary": "Eskom has extended its waiver of registration-related charges for small-scale solar installations, giving residential customers more time to register their grid-tied systems without incurring costs. The waiver, which applies to customer-owned generation systems of up to 50kVA connected directly to Eskom’s distribution network, will remain in effect until further notice. This extension reflects Eskom’s commitment to supporting the safe integration of rooftop solar into the national grid, ensuring safety, reliability, and proper integration into the grid.",
