SAPVIA calls for incentives for SSEG market

Industry organisation the South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA) has made a presentation to Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Electricity and Energy in which it called for solar investment incentives that offer tax benefits and grants for installations, specifically targeting middle-income households. “We believe a national small-scale embedded generation (SSEG) framework will help standardise system registration and compliance across municipalities,” said SAPVIA CEO Dr Rethabile Melamu.
