Are the panels already installed?
No, not yet.

I heard covering them works...
Well, considering one would have no idea when these aerial survey's are done, it would have to be permanent.

That looks amazing! Expensive, but amazing. There's no way you can tell there's solar panels embedded in that roof.

Why are we hiding them?
Sh!tty of Cape town requires solar installations to be registered..
Not sure why OP doesn't just register, there is no charge for it...

Are we scared that CoCT will do something with this information in the future?
Because it's signing up for a future annual tax
Yes, must be...

O, you might be able to hide the panels but not the drop in consumption - which you might have to explain, somehow.

I doubt it, last year the DA were asking for a rebate.

What's bizarre is that they only require registration if PV cells are involved. If you have a hybrid-inverter being used solely has an inline UPS backup, but without any PV cells on your roof, then it doesn't seem as if you have to register anything.
Probably related to the fact that PV cells generate electricity and your inline UPS technical does not.. just guessing..
Sure, but the batteries attached to the inverter are just as capable of generating electricity as the panels are.
