SAPVIA urges stakeholders to actively shape incoming SSEG safety standard

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.
