Webber Wentzel, a South African law firm, has raised concerns about the government’s tax incentives for rooftop solar panels, calling them short-sighted and failing to understand the functioning of a complete solar energy system.
The City of Cape Town in South Africa has announced that residents who use their solar installations before receiving municipal approval will not be fined if they can prove they have initiated the application process. However, properties with unregistered solar systems will still be subject to penalties.
