# Eskom has announced plans to utilise satellite imagery to identify unregistered rooftop solar installations across South Africa. This move follows concerns over the impact of unregistered systems on the national electricity infrastructure. The initiative aims to ensure compliance with regulations requiring all grid-tied solar systems to be registered, even if they don’t feed electricity back into the grid. The power utility says by leveraging satellite technology, it intends to enhance its registration drive and maintain grid stability.
