Eskom issues new threat to anyone with rooftop solar in South Africa

• Eskom Distribution now accepts a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) issued by a duly qualified installation electrician or electrical contractor registered with the Department of Employment & Labour.
• South Africa's residential solar and battery storage market has grown rapidly on the back of years of load shedding and steeply rising electricity tariffs.
• The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) has set out its position and legal reasoning in a detailed submission to the utility, arguing that Eskom's claim will not survive legal scrutiny.
