Registering your SSEG with the municipality

[Isetech]

How many municipalities are equipped to deal with this massive task?

I hear Cape Town is geared up to handle the influx of registration.

What about the others?

A questions:

the first and most important question, why is there no public awareness?

Who will be responsible if the system is not registered, the customer or the installer?

What is the penalty for not registering your system?

Where do you find the documents?

What will happen if you have been feeding back into the grid?

What if you had your system installed 5 years ago?

Who will be responsible for the Fine (if there is one). the contractor or the property owner?

This is going to become a huge problem, when, I couldn't tell you, considering it takes more than 12 months to get a prepaid meter if you are lucky.

If you have a prepaid meter, do you have to register your system.

If you only have batteries, do you have to register your system.

I am thinking they are going to have to get a starting point, then get some public awareness before they can rush out and start handing out fines, just imagine the massive task that would become. In saying that we pay R1 for a plastic bag at the local store, anything is possible.

My concern is that they already know that there is huge revenue to collected, it is just a matter of time for the roll out.

What are your thoughts on this topic, is the registration working in your part of SA?

I have tried on more than one occasion to get hold of the right people who deal with this, I have sent emails and still no response.

I have decided to install solar in my workshop, hence the question, I dont want to sit with a problem in 2 years time where I am pumping 25 kwh per day back into the grid and smiling from ear to ear while only paying R150 per month for electricity.

Does anyone know the percentage of registered systems compared to unregistered systems?

I know some people are saying rather just keep quiet and enjoy the benefits, I would rather just try do it right that sit with the hassle in years to come.

People seem to forget these system are recording every little detail, including how much you are feeding back into the grid, from the day it was installed.

Let this be a warning, if you going to crook the system, dont be that stupid and plug in a wifi dongle.
