Guide
We do not sell panels, inverters or batteries. We make the ones you already paid for do more than carry the house through an outage — and we do it from twenty minutes down the road.
Your installer keeps the system, the warranty and the relationship. We never quote against them, because we do not sell the thing they sold you.
Most houses with solar still heat water at four in the morning on grid power. Moving that one load is usually the largest single change available, and it needs no new panel.
The Helderberg is a twenty-minute drive, not a regional call-out. That matters more than it sounds: commissioning is where these systems are won or lost, and it is rarely finished in one visit.
Further than that is a conversation rather than a no — we go into greater Cape Town for work that justifies the drive, and we will say plainly when it does not.
A first visit
A clamp meter, last month’s bill, and a note of what we found — whether you buy anything or not.
The inverter make and model, what it will talk to, what is on which circuit, and where the geyser and the pool actually sit in the board. Half the surprises in this work are in that hour.
A written note of what we found and what we would do about it, in order of what it saves. It is yours — take it to somebody else if you like.
Itemised, in rands, against the things it saves. If the honest answer is that the payback is too long, that is what it will say.
Questions
Yes — the workshop is in Gordon’s Bay, so Somerset West, Strand, Sir Lowry’s Pass, Firgrove, Croydon and Macassar are all a short drive. Greater Cape Town is a conversation about whether the job justifies the trip, and we will say so.
No, and that is deliberate. We do not sell panels, inverters or batteries, which is why we can look at the system you already have without it turning into a quote for a new one. If what you need is more generation, you need your installer, not us.
Yes, including the written summary that comes afterwards. What is not free is the work, and that is quoted as a fixed itemised number you can cut lines out of before anything is ordered.
Usually, and gladly. Quite a lot of our work arrives through installers who do the generation side and would rather not carry the integration risk — the installer page sets out the three shapes that takes.
