Recently I had solar panels installed on my home by the company Southern Current. Their installation seemed to be very professional. Their installation of the solar panels was completed more than a month ago. Since the installation of the solar panels was completed, SCE&G has refused to connect the solar energy into SCE&G’s system by demanding that the solar installer build a wooden platform so SCE&G employees can read SCE&G’s meter which was installed forty-nine years ago by SCE&G nearly eight feet above ground level.

Now I wonder how SCE&G has been reading the meter installed by them forty-nine years ago, or if they have been reading the meter at all?

It seems as if SCE&G should review my billings for the last forty-nine years, if they have been unable to read the meter they installed. I remember once when my wife and I were on an extended month long trip and had turned off all of our electricity prior to our departure, and when we returned home we received a $400.00 electric bill.

Also, I have been provided electric service by Edisto Electric Co-Op to a house and buildings I own in Orangeburg County for thirty some years. The Co-Op’s service and responses have been exceptional. I believe SCE&G would be wise to send both their officials and employees to Edisto Elect. Co-Op for proper training.
