I wouldn't trust them with R5, never mind their too good to be true prices

autofit.co.za smells like an absolute scam! Look at their lithium batteries prices too.

Only it says "Sunpal" on the front.

This is an old trick. Because I hang around in guitar playing circles I see it a lot there. Watch what the famous guys are playing, and knock out cheap copies of that. Looks just like the one you see on TV as long as you don't look too carefully at the name on the headstock. Components are all built down to a price rather than up to a specification *

But it's not confined to the guitaring sphere of business. It goes on in many realms. There was a Top Gear episode that showed cars in China that look just like those from German or Japanese brands, but just superficially.

So I would bet that autofit actually have these inverters that look just like a Sunsynk - on the outside. 


* TBF, some of the copies are actually pretty good, but then the price rises accordingly.

The thing is the start of the link shows the name Sunpal on a picture of the Deye/Sunsynk but lower down at the specs level it is more like a Axpert/Mecer/Voltronic.

But that's the whole point is what I'm saying. It LOOKS like something you've seen other people get and be happy with, only you'd expected that it would cost a bit more. What a nice surprise.

The whole point of these products is that they are imitations of a good product that has a good reputation. 

I note that today in the Supreme Court of Appeal, a judgement was handed down in favour of Clover foods. Clover had complained about a competitor who was selling margarine, but with the word "butter" very prominent on all the packaging and in all the advertising. The SCA ruled that the intent was to deceive consumers.

All of their social media links, link to the site but not an account.  The physical address in Lydenburg does not exist.  There is no mention anywhere on the site of who the people are behind the site.  Just too many red flags.  If they were a real company, they would be doing the basics to show who they are and what they do.
