When are the Grid tie Solar systems going to be allowed

[Thys LOW Elektries]

In Orania Grid tie solar inverters are allowed, we call them KSIKO's and you get rewarded for feeding into the grid.
You do however have to apply to feed back into the grid.
Once applied the council sends an inspector out, and once all is approved you can feed into the grid.
We like to do things differently and be independent...

Orania must be the only council in the country with an electrical inspector.

Not a qualified inspector though but he is the electrical department's manager and is a qualified electrician with a PV card.
He works with the town's engineer and plans, design and expand our electrical network as the town grows.
The KSIKO form is like 10 pages and the qualified people have to fill in the various parts to ensure all is safe and legit before you can export.
We think and plan ahead. We have two solar farms to reduce our peak supply from Eskom, and soon we will have a battery bank to increase our electrical independence from Eskom.
Just think that we achieve all this without grants or state loans, all financed locally
