Small-Scale Embedded Generation (SSEG)
At Miconsult, we specialise in Small-Scale Embedded Generation (SSEG) solutions that enable homes, businesses, and industries to generate their own electricity while staying connected to the grid.
SSEG systems typically include solar PV installations integrated with smart inverters, ensuring safe, compliant, and efficient energy production.
WHY SSEG?
With rising electricity costs and grid instability, SSEG provides a sustainable, cost-saving solution by allowing you to:
Generate your own clean electricity
Export excess power back to the grid (where municipal by-laws permit)
Reduce dependence on the national grid
Lower operational costs while increasing energy security
Our SSEG Solutions Include
Feasibility & System Design
Tailored designs based on site potential and energy needs.
Grid-Compliance & Licensing Support
Assistance with municipal registration and regulatory approvals.
Installation & Commissioning
Professional integration with grid infrastructure for safety and reliability.
Monitoring & Maintenance
Smart metering and ongoing support to ensure consistent performance.
SSEG – Frequent Questions
What is Small-Scale Embedded Generation (SSEG) and how does it work?
SSEG means generating your own electricity (usually with solar panels) while staying connected to the municipal grid. You use your solar power first, and if you produce more than you need, the extra can be exported to the grid (where regulations allow).
Can I completely go off-grid with MiConsult’s solar solutions?
Yes. We design both grid-tied and fully off-grid systems. Off-grid systems use batteries and are ideal for farms, remote areas, or anyone wanting complete energy independence
Do you help with municipal approval and compliance for SSEG systems?
Absolutely. We handle the full application, compliance, and registration process with your municipality and NERSA. This ensures your system is safe, legal, and grid-approved.
How long will it take to recover the cost of installing a solar system?
Most customers recover their investment in 3–7 years, depending on system size, energy use, and electricity tariffs. From day one, you’ll already start saving on monthly electricity costs.
What maintenance is required for solar PV and pump systems?
Solar PV is low-maintenance. You’ll mainly need to clean panels occasionally and schedule periodic system checks. We also offer monitoring and support packages to keep your system running efficiently.
How does a grid-connected solar PV system work?
Solar panels convert sunlight into DC electricity, which is converted into AC by an inverter. This powers your home or business. If you produce more than you use, the excess can flow back into the municipal grid (where allowed).
What are the basic components of a solar PV system?
A standard system includes:
- Solar panels (PV modules)
- An inverter
- Mounting structures and wiring
- Optional extras include batteries for storage and backup, plus a charge controller.
Can solar PV systems be dangerous?
Any electrical system can be risky if poorly installed. That’s why we follow strict safety standards, use certified equipment, and ensure correct wiring and protection. With professional installation, solar is safe and reliable.
