List of Solar/UPS installers

15k? That doesn't sound right. Unless it's Chinese parts.

My brother got us a solar geyser and we had this German guy come in and explain everything about the system to him. Our setup came to about R25k (R5k rebate which we managed to get just before Eskom killed the program) but it's all German tech.
 
I would prefer a list that includes some personal references - anyone have some good and bad stories about the companies listed?

Well this company doesn't have a site but can be contacted as he is in business for 14 years and his Parent company for 55 years.
I have purchased a system just over a year ago and just this week one for my uncle and it runs smoothly.
 
http://www.outthegreenbox.co.za/ Highly recommend these guys. High quality (not cheap) products for those who want performance and reliability. My sister had her house pimped out with solar and she is completely off the grid now.

Interesting. The parent company is in beauty products? Which Kalla is it?

I don't know much about them but I can tell you they are big. They don't just have Amka, they own a lot in different sectors, hence one of them in this power game.

I've wanted to check this for a while now. Easy to spot the new kids.
 
Interesting - a bit OT - seems Suncolect is MyEcofuture's installation arm.
My Ecofuture is bringing large scale ViZN Redox Flow batteries into the country for commercial use.

VIZN’s storage technology is a redox flow battery that is designed and manufactured for large scale energy storage applications. The modular unit is a 20-foot shipping container, which can be ganged together to provide storage solutions for projects ranging from 100kW to 100MW. The Zinc Iron Redox battery provides superior safety, durability and performance at a price that breaks the threshold for widespread market acceptance and deployment. Key differentiators of the technology lie in its safety, abundance of core raw materials, simplicity of design, and the robust nature of chemistry, which provide a 20-year expected life.
