Hi guys, Has anyone uninstalled a GoSolr system at the end of the 3yr contract. What was your experience with the uninstall ? Has anyone outright purchased their rental system from GoSolr? Did the pricing make sense ?

I have a Kodak 6.2kw inverter 12 x 460w JA Solar panels 2 x 5.1kwh Batteries (I was probably scammed with this, because with more knowledge now, it appears to be privately constructed batteries with no BMS Battery Management System or Battery Monitor System) Safety features were added by another/new installer (Fuses between panels and inverter, fuses between batteries and inverter, earthing rods installed) after the original installer went MIA However, my solar system has been running fairly well for 2+ years now (Geyser, stove and oven runs straight from Eskom) I have, in the recent 2 weeks, installed an inverter pool heat pump that is using anything from 0.3 to 2.8kw. …

I just stumbled upon this web. Numerous errors even in the main description - poly and mono and different Watts quoted at the main heading. Rather move on if this is found.

Hello! Has anyone worked with or know JS Electrical Power Solutions (Pty) Ltd? I want to do my install via them due to fair pricing but i cant find a lot on the internet on them, only their facebook page. I dont want to hand over many thousands and have it be a scam, any advise on how to / what to check for?

Hey. Whenever I come across a website selling a unit that I'm interested in for way less than the competition, I want to do some due diligence and check them out first before buying. Has anyone heard of sun4safe.com? Apparently in PE, but there's no street number on their address and I can't find them on google street view. Also no telephone number listed and I can't get the owner of the domain as that info is listed. So I wondered if anyone here in PE had heard of them? Their Volta Stage 4 batteries are well below the next lowest priced supplier that I know of that is legit (UtilityPal), so I am curious what the deal is. I'll reach out in the week and sus it out, but if…

SUNSYNC WARRANTY IN KZN - WORTH NOTHING When the original installer is not used, the SunSync warranty is an absolute nightmare. After identifying a faulty battery by an accredited installer, a week later I am still waiting for some action. The accredited installer shared with me that a warranty claim can take a few weeks if not months. He has had experience of this, I was extremely disappointed as I thought SynSync was a good make and would look after me. My SunSync 8 Kw Inverter and 2 x 5KwH batteries were installed a year ago, there should be a 10 year warranty according to the registered document from SynSync when the equipment was registered reflects 5 years. In my op…

Starting this thread as an alert area for known scams and bad actors targeting South Africa. We're seeing a massive uptick in these atm. Instead of littering many threads, hopefully this can serve as a common discussion thread. Some of you guys know the legitimate suppliers, also what is plausible, what's not. Artists Against 419 has a project tag for solar and generator scams, ZAShed. Some of these scams concentrate solely on solar and generators, others mix solar and generators with other scam baits. https://db.aa419.org/fakebankslist.php?cmd=ADV&x_Project=zashed

Hi See some pretty good battery deals on the above site - and they accept Payfast. Anyone used them before? Thanks Ian https://nova-craft.co.za/product/svolt-51-2v-325ah-16-64kwh-lithium-battery-scn512325/

Please stay away from this company. Although their website has an address and 2 contact numbers to look legit, they are not legit. I paid for a Hubble battery on 10 May, but it never arrived and will never arrive. The bank confirmed they use burner bank accounts, and as soon as it's closed, they proceed to the next one. How these people continue with this, I don't know. Opened a SAPS Case and tried to report this to the hosting company, also the website is https://solarpowershop.co.za/

Hi Does anyone know if Earthrise solar is legit? The website is www.earthrisesolar.co.za

GRUNLIGHT ENERGY - Beware - they are scamsters !!!!

Has anybody used this place before, website seems really professional however I can only find one Hello peter review. They have a physical address but online only shop so orders must be done online. Alternatively anybody has suggestions on BSL suppliers in Cape Town besides Herholdts, their pricing is a bit crazy.

Good morning, Has anybody maybe had interactions with the company "RV Solar Solutions" operating in the Cape town area? The owner is Ricardo. https://www.rvsolarsolutions.co.za/ I am about to use them for an installation, and just hoping for some feedback before pulling the trigger. They seem very clued up and professional, but it never hurts to check personal experience.

Howdy all, starting this thread to find out if there are any others on here that have had dealings with a company called Amber Energy and if so what your experience has been like? My dealings have been costly and disappointing to say the least. I initially used them to setup a system based on my then budget constraints how ever I had advised them that as cash came on that I would upgrade and for them to make provision for these upgrades. My initial install consisted of a Victron Multiplus 5KVA, BSL Batt 6.5 and 14 Panels. After a few upgrades with them and hundreds of thousands of rands spent, the end result was 5 x BSL Batt 6.5 batteries, two victron…
