Been looking at that website myself. I don't trust that site one bit.

Some of the battery prices way to good.

My clue would be that Google cannot find such a code for solar panels and with it there are no reviews of the code for the panels.

Thus better to stay away than be sorry later.

The prices seem reasonable, not ridiculously low.

If you can collect and pay, I would say its legit.

I wouldn't put money in their account. Maybe someone in the area should visit them.

I doubt that a Longi 555W panel sells for even close to the R875 level.

More like R1400 to R1800. Scams do always quote far below normal prices.

Hey Guys Retail Solar panel prices are at R2.8 to R3.1 Per watt ex vat Longi is a Tier 1 Premium brand panel and the 555 Units are very rare to find so they command a higher price I would be very careful as an example GC Solar is selling Longi 550 Watt Units at R3.15 per watt Ex Vat So either those panels are stolen, fallen off a truck or are second-hand but more likely a scam. These Guys are selling at R1.37 Ex vat that is literally impossibly low prices.

Besides the Address on google maps is an open plot opposite a scrap yard.

Hence the reason i posted this thread on specifically that item. Imported JA 550w per container(620 panels)~ R1.50 to R 1.70 per watt depending on International bulk( FOB) prices. So yes you can't even import bulk Tier 1 panels for that price.🤔
