    Registration on the SAPVIA directory is open to Certified PV GreenCard Installation Companies. In order to qualify for registration, a company must be registered as an electrical contractor with the DoEL and employ a SAPVIA-assessed PV GreenCard Installer. Any CIPC-registered company can register as electrical contractors where the owner or one or more full-time employees is an electrical tester for single phase (TSP), installation electrician (IE) or master electrician (ME).
