The South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA) says the quickest and most effective way to resolve the ongoing debate on safety and compliance for small-scale embedded generation (SSEG) is to finalise the new South African National Standard (SANS) 10142-1 safety standard. SAPVIA says it has carefully considered the extensive public debates and media coverage on the safety and compliance of SSEG systems – up to 1 MVA – together with the Association of Municipal Electricity Utilities (Ameu), the Electrical Contractors Association of South Africa and the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse.
