NRS standards apply to feeding into the grid. Try explain to dumb city official that you don't (physically impossible as axpert is a cheap POS) want to feed in, all you want to do is charge your battery on cloudy days. That is eskoms problem managing that duck curve, all the city needs to do is collect the rubbish and leave me alone. I have a 80A breaker on my DB, let me worry about how much load I use when charging batteries.And as explained in detail to you in the past that is not municipal law. It is based on NRS standards which is national and is now starting to be enforced by more municipalities.
DA is just doing proper governance in enforcing it.
You cant be picky about which laws you like and want enforced
If you cant get your axpert NRS certified then it is not safe on the national grid and there were real reasons why they couldnt be certified.
It's not a crime to have panels on your roof. You would think it is because it's perfectly fine to have a shit5ty axpert inverter and battery as a ups backup, but as soon as you want to make free power from the sun then its a problem.
I wish I was Elon rich, I will make the city hang there heads in their hands while crying, also nersa while I'm at it. I sort out all this BS ambiguity.
I'll also make sure my PV install is no more than 99kWp.
