If you live in the Cape I hear it is a good idea to register, the rest of the country, it seems nobody is too bothered about registration, because the councils are not ready for the million plus application if everyone does decide to do the right thing and register.
How are they going to monitor registrations and identify sites which are not registered ? I still cant get an answer with regards to penalies or fines, it seems ther earent any because there is no infrastructure or staff to deal with them and no meters to replace the old meters.
I read an article about the council rolling out smart meters so that they can switch off your applicances, how true it is well only time will tell.
I am all for registering, but when it becomes a major complication and nobody bothers to reply to emails and the mails are returned undelivered, well thats when I tend to climb off the train and join the masses.
Will they use:
1/ Tax rebate applications maybe?
2/ The people who send the tax and ID info of the cusoter when installing solar panels
2/ Your electricity account to identify you might have solar installed, its a lot simpler than you think. An average house uses a certain amount of electricity, suddenly your usage drops, bingo time to do a site visit. I hear of customers submitting actaul reading which are lower then the estimated are being billed at the old rate, if you complain they send someone out to check your meter
Lets do it right and register, how do we register ?
