State-owned power utility Eskom says it has simplified the compliance and registration process for customers who generate their own electricity through small-scale embedded generation (SSEG) systems, such as rooftop solar panels. From October 1, residential customers can have their systems, excluding single-phase testers, signed off by a Department of Employment and Labour- (DEL-) registered person, rather than an Engineering Council of South Africa- (ECSA-) registered professional.
