Previous / Current Projects:
1. Solar PV and Inverter-Battery Backup Installations:
Our well trained and experienced solar installers have previously done more than 300 solar solar PV and inverter-battery backup installations for residential and commercial clients. These have been supervised or inspected, tested and signed off by colleagues with solar pv green card and electrical certificate of compliance (CoC) accreditation. Most of these solar pv installations have been done in Gauteng. A small sample of them can be viewed in the gallery.
Our solar PV and inverter-battery back-up system designs and specifications are done by a graduate electrical engineer, registered with ECSA
(Engineering Council of South Africa).
