Has anyone had any dealings with this company? 
We're looking to do a small PV panel install (~6 panels) in JHB South.

They installed an infinisolar for a friend of mine... install went fine but the hardware (full circle solar infinisolar) died after a few months.  He ended up changing it for a victron.  Installer also wanted to charge a monitoring fee... no thanks.

Have you gotten a quote from powerforum store and one of their installers.

I had good luck with green wave energy and above mentioned friend had luck with green sun the second time round. 

I also got quotes from green sun with my install, they where professional and knew what they where doing.

What parts are you interested in getting, inverter, batteries etc...

Just the installation of additional panels, connecting it to the inverter, and then the CoC.

I asked in October. I'm still waiting. I'm assuming that because it's a small installation it's either on the back-burner or not worth their time.

Dear @StepbyStep let me look into this with @Powerforum Store

@Energy-Jason I also requested a quote for few solar panels from the @Powerforum Store on Tuesday last week. Sent a follow up email on Friday. Still waiting... Maybe they don't want the business for smaller quotes...

Hello Guys I am a little swamped with requests for quotes trying to catch up if you are waiting for a quote please just send me a reminder or send me a whats app and I will try and sort your quote out quickly I would like to get back to you as soon as possible.

 

Thank you 

This seems to be common across the solar/inverter/battery market ... It seems that the demand far exceeds the supply ... its a good thing ... if  you are smart you are already looking into becoming a distributor/installer. 

I tried to get installers to quote and look at upgrading systems they have already installed ... the response was maybe next year ... maybe Feb - March. 

With the electricity price hikes ... crap utility ... and load shedding woes ... and every man and his cat climbing on the band wagon to to make pile of cash ... all you need to do is offer a better more reliable service ... and actually have an idea of what it is you talking about and doing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i have suddenly become the go to guy for advice amongst friends, relatives and neighbors ( as they can see the panels on the roof ), maybe I should start charging consultant fees at least😁😆

If you ever do installs, I'll be your 1st customer. 

I'm going to try this install myself 🤔🤕

So this install will definitely happen by yours truly. If you hear a scream and see photos of someone hanging by their workboots on a gutter - that'll be me. 1 month and counting until everything gets here and I can start!

I've bought 2 inverters from FullCircleSolar.  Haven't needed to return them, so I have no opinion on their after sales service but pre-sales they are on it.  They give me quotes quickly and ship quick too.

They also sell on Takealot FWIW

Both inverters still run some years later.  So above post was either not correctly installed or perhaps bad unit, but wouldn't say it is indicative of them as a store.
