It’s like a game, see if you can figure out what to do.
You take the steps to register, to do what you think is the right thing to do, you fill out the documents and you send them to the email address on the website, it bounces, that’s where the fight started.
So, you go to social media and attempt to find a public awareness program, which helps with the correct procedure advising the public how to do the right thing, I wish you luck.
Then let’s create some form of public awareness:
What is the right thing to do, do I need to register my SSEG?
Do all SSEG's have to be registered?
1/ An axpert type system with no solar?
2/ An axpert type with solar?
3/ A hybrid bidirectional unit without solar?
4/ A hybrid bidirectional unit with Solar?
5/ If my unit is set to zero export?
6/ If the unit is bigger than 3.5 kw or 12 kw?
What are the costs involved in registering?
Do I need to get an engineer to approve the system for all backup systems or only ones with solar?
What size SSEG must be registered and approved?
If I have a prepaid meter, do I need to register an SSEG?
Can Install a prepaid meter instead of registering an SSEG?
Who is responsible for registering the SSEG, the customer or the installer?
We are not talking about 10 installations, we now talking about hundreds of thousands of installations.
Do we treat this fiasco like Etolls and just ignore it and hope it eventually goes away?
The reality is that the electricity department don’t have the staff, skills, or infrastructure to deal with this explosion of SSEG installations.
I want to install a system and home and need to decide what size system I am going to install and the type of system I am going to install before I blow R250 k on a system.
I want to reduce my monthly electricity account, by managing the usage on the property and making use of an SSEG to supply power to my appliances during the day.
I don’t want to play this game, I am going to be investing a lot of money in my system and want to do it right, I don’t want some contractor standing at my gate threatening to cut my supply because I didn’t fill out and submit some document.
I also don’t want a bunch of unnecessary costs added to my monthly electricity account because I made the mistake of registering the system if I don’t have to register it.
Do I need some fancy bidirectional inverter at twice the cost of an entry level unit, or do I just need a basic entry level unit to keep the lights on?
The registration process ands cost are going to determine what type of system and size components I install.
