What is an SSEG?
SSEG stands for Small Scale Embedded Generation. It refers to the generation of electricity from renewable or alternative energy sources, typically on a small scale, and connected to a local distribution network or grid. SSEG systems are often installed at residential, commercial, or industrial sites to supplement or replace electricity supplied by the grid.
Why is it important to register the SSEG?
According to regulations and governmental municipal requirements, all photovoltaic (PV) systems are required to be formally registered with the applicable local municipality. Failure to do so can lead to significant fines or even the decommissioning of the system.
By registering a PV system with the local municipality is essential to ensure grid safety, compliance with regulations, and effective management of renewable energy integration. It supports the sustainable and safe development of solar energy infrastructure while mitigating potential risks to both technicians and the home/business owners.
