So finally got the go ahead from my brother to seriously start looking for options to get solar in. We're not looking to rig up the whole house. Basically enough to run two computers (let's say 400W in total each since we don't do stuff that's too demanding - my gaming machine seems to cap out at 200W with the stuff I do), 2 TVs, basic networking stuff and some lights (maybe a fridge, but we haven't had to throw out food yet). No washing machine, stove, oven, etc.

Now I know these people are going to be swamped with calls for quotes and things this week, and to be honest I'm not in a huge rush. Mostly because it looks like I'll be paying for at least half of it (in cash), and I can only get my money out of a fixed deposit in a month or so, and because solar companies are likely to be busy this week.

All that being said, who would you guys recommend for a basic solar install in Cape Town?

Bumping this - anyone got a good recommendation for Northern Suburbs? Tried a number of places and not getting any responses. I've gotten the inverter and battery installed through Dontuwire - it's now just the solar panels.

Places I've tried:

* AW Power (initially responded but nothing for over 2 weeks now)
* Tariq Solar (similar, no response for over 2 weeks now)
* Smart Energy SA - (responded after 10 days, but quite pricey)

I fully understand most companies are completely snowed under with the recent Stage 6 shenanigans, so the above shouldn't be taken completely negatively, but hoping there is someone decent who can finish off the solar setup for me.
