I see all three domains are registered with 1-Grid - I’ve sent a pm to one of their guys to investigate 

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 inverters and months of issues.
In desperation I reached out to a few installers on here to find out who could assist with the ongoing issues and system failure that I had endured but they were all too busy or reluctant to fix another companies mess.
I did manage to get a Victron certified installer to take on the task of redoing the entire system and they are now busy handling  the RMA process with Victron / Get Off Grid after an inverter died, was sent back for repairs and after having the unit returned we have subsequently learnt that nothing was done to the unit and it was returned in the state that it was sent to them.
I’ll update this thread with additional information as soon as possible.

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.
