Quote Project Information Located on the northwestern corner of the Carrisa Plains, the 550 megawatt Topaz Solar Farm produces sufficient electricity to power 160,000 average California homes. The Topaz location was selected after an extensive review of potential sites in California which considered the available solar resource, proximity to existing electrical transmission lines, current land uses, and environmental sensitivities. Economic benefits include an estimated $417 million in positive impacts, including property and sales tax revenues for the County, wages from direct and indirect employment, induced spending and supply chain revenues. Watch this video from the project owner, BHE Renewables, to see how Topaz Solar Farm was constructed. Stick with reputable companies, ask in the forum guys will gladly share companies they dealt with if they were happy with them hoohloc 1 Quote
JOCOTRADE Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 Stay well away from NextGenSolar, they don't exist. They have tried to nail me for R76,000.00. I have been to their premises but I found a computer school there. They don't have a telephone number and I believe that there are many theft and fraud cases against them. I've tried to put it on hello peter but for some mysterious reasons they don't want me to warn the public. Quote
frankie Posted April 26, 2022 Author Posted April 26, 2022 Thanks, they sent me quote with the remainder of their details. The company, nor the registration details exist on CIPC. So definitely fraud. Quote
Johannf Posted June 3, 2022 Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Their prices are way cheaper than the solar wholesalers prices! And nobody will be able to do an installation for R 1999! Scammers! https://www.nextgensolar.co.za/product/10kw-growatt-solar-package/ Edited June 3, 2022 by Johannf Quote

EtienneG Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 The VAT number on their invoices is invalid - tried it two different ways. Definitely a SCAM Quote
sl0m0 Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 I am trying to find a reputable supplier in the Western Cape for Canadian Solar 600w panels. Does anyone know of one please. I have to match my existing panels. Quote
EtienneG Posted March 2, 2023 Posted March 2, 2023 At the moment, there is a backlog of panels. SegenSolar (in my opinion the best supplier) are sould out on pre-order until June. Quote

My account since then has been reported and cases have been opened against me for this company and my only mistake was looking for a job. Please do not buy from this company as its non existent. They use normal peoples by offering them work as agents to receive the payments on their behalf. The clients pay directly into the agents accounts and the agent then transfers it to another nedbank account. Quote

I wish to categorically state that neither I, nor my company, WeCanGetIt, have any affiliation, past, present or future, with Next Gen Solar. This is a SCAM people, stay away. Quote
robert Johnson Posted February 5, 2024 Posted February 5, 2024 Hi. Please guys dont use next gen solar. just been scammed they dont answer email and there is no tel number. where is south africa going Quote
Amadea Posted December 14, 2024 Posted December 14, 2024 Does anyone have any contact details of nextgen solar, please assist... Quote
Jade Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Those who have paid any amounts to this individual or company must open cases with SAPS. Receiving funds and then transferring it between accounts is money laundering under the POCA Act. If you have a case number please PM me with the details as there is another case being investigated and it would help to link all the cases together. Quote
