I know this topic exists somewhere but it's nice to have a refresh every now and then.

Are there any reputable Solar Installation companies in the Pretoria region? Otherwise worst case in Johannesburg?

I can tell you who not to use:

GWH Solar

Installed mine about a year ago.
1. The controller switches off randomly which doesn't sound like a big problem but it means that the controller loses time. So, any programs are out of sync
2. Overflow was pointing towards my braai area. When the water reaches high temps the overflow jets out water towards where I'm having a braai. Luckiliy I saw it while nobody was in the line of fire

I've been in contact with GWH solar constantly since then and nothing came of it. They havent even bothered to come look at the issues

It might already be on your tick list, but make sure a tempering/mixing valve is installed. It is a SANS 10106 requirement, but some installers try to save the R500 by skipping it.
