That's about right, remember electricity works on tiering and that sounds like they are over 500 units.

In most municipalities R2.38 per kWh is on the low end of the tiers

You can't hide solar PV. The lack of electricity purchases will flag you as either a meter tamperer or a solar PV user which will trigger an electrical inspection.

Municipal bylaws give municipalities the right to enter any private property for the purposes of inspection, testing or maintenance. Denying entry can lead to legal action in which one can by fined, imprissoned or both.
