Couldn't be Happier
My property was a relatively difficult challenge , 2 story, small roof,(we had a few "job's too hard" companies) however Robbie was excellent at assessing our requirements and providing a technical solution. He provided production and energy independence figures, currently we are exceeding these. The installation was very smooth and the team did a great job, including tidying up. Connection and commissioning was very smooth. The after sales customer service has been excellent so far. I had a couple of non-standard requests, which they responded to promptly. Communication throughout the entire process was excellent.Panel rating: 5/5

Great installation and after service care
Installer was very good and didn’t seem to rush the work. The after sales customer service is also excellent. They reached out to my energy provider to get everything sorted prior to installation. Customer service helped me connect to the app to see the solar working. Been using it now for more than a month and my projected quarterly bill from my energy provider app has significantly decreased l.Panel rating: 5/5

Energy SA - Professional, Friendly, Great service nothing too much trouble
Nothing was too much trouble even when I changed my mind about the products I decided on. Friendly, professional, quick responses, actually came to my home without having to ask and was keen to do so. Robby who sold me the system explained everything well and easily and nothing was a hassle. I am keen to have work done right the first time and Robby made sure the team who installed the system were aware and the boys who did the install were friendly and professional and discussed things with me through the day, showed me the completed stages and cleaned up after themselves, I can’t thank them enough for taking the time and being thorough with their work. I highly recommend them to anyone thinking of solar. Thanks again to a great team and local SA business.Panel rating: 5/5

Great service
I am glad I had people come to my property to provide a quote rather than pushy telephone salesmen. The salesman was punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. The installers were punctual, polite and efficient. They cleaned up after themselves and kept me informed during the installation. It all went smoothly and they organised everything.Inverter rating: 5/5

Could not be happier Energy SA are easy, professional and thorough.
Was looking to replacing my existing 3Kw solar system as it was not producing enough to cover our power bills.Had many companies quote and provide recommendations, Energy SA stood out from the pack. From the moment Sam came to visit and ran through my options I knew I had found the company I was looking for. he explained the option in terms I could easily comprehend. we ended up going with a 13kw system with the Alpha Battery and we love it. the online interface is easy to understand and a great way to keep an eye on the system. our first bill when from $900+ this time last year to a -$300 credit.

Energy SA were great to deal with for the whole process.
Energy SA provided lots of patient and detailed advice when providing quotes, and were happy to adjust our panel layout to ensure the panels were as discreet as possible. They also handled all the connection and rebate paperwork for us which made the process much easier than I anticipated.The installation team were efficient and careful, and the final result is very tidy. I was particularly grateful that the installers were willing to wear face masks while inside my home, because I am immune compromised.

Very pleased with results.
Paul was extremely helpful during the design process and followed up afterwards.They removed our existing system about 2 days prior to installing the new one.
The installation was done in about half a day. Thorough testing and cleanup completed afterwards. All paperwork for our energy provider and SA Power Networks was done by them, with very little input required by us.

Most knowledgable and experienced solar guys in SA
I had most pleasant experience with EnergySA. Sam Carey is a *the* guru of solar technology in SA. Every staff who worked in EnergySA was very supportive and helpful but what really set these guys apart is how knowledgeable they were. I got my system nearly 2 years ago and Sam and I spent hours trying to optimise every inch of our roof. He ran hypothetical scenarios, did the math, and really present a succinct and a very well laid-out information. I felt informed and educated and he worked with me to create the solar that I wanted.I rang around to other several big names (and some small ones) and I can guarentuee none has the expertise and the support of EnergySA and Sam. These guys know what they are doing, and they work with you specifically, not some template off their cheatsheets. Look no further.

good experience
All went well except that they only discovered a mounting problem when they were actually ready to install battery, but then they solved it satisfactorily02 October 2021
Humm finance for big system small price
It was on the solar quotes list but not a recommendation. They have humm finance which I have used before and has no interest on it. Was the best price for the biggest system. Install time is slow and hasn't happened yet as the next available install day was a few months but it works fine for us.Inverter rating: 5/5

Guys did a great installation job. friendly and it all happened ontime and as expected
Quoting was good and quick. Not pushy. Very factual.Install team was great.
This is my 3rd solar set up and all have been pretty good. this was a touch better across the board though.

Excellent service so far.
Energy SA have been efficient, polite, helpful and on time. The system was install well and is so far doing exactly what they said it would.23 March 2021
Customer service that is exceptional
The process of quote to installation was very quick. The quote was good value.We have a tricky roof with some shading but I was determined to get solar.
The team know what they are talking about. We ended up choosing Enphase microinverters.
There was no such thing as too may questions! Phone calls or emails were always welcome. When agreeing to the quote and installation, I knew what I was getting, how it would be installed and what to expect in returns. They summarised the process very well. The follow up and administration was exceptional.
The installation was complete in a day. The explanation on how to use the monitoring system was good. The team was polite, friendly and efficient. Everything appears at a high quality and I have confidence in the work.

Original Review on 12-07-2020:
Easy sales and process
The whole process was seamless, from the first engagement through to installation and commissioning. I was feeding into the grid the moment the system was turned on. Everything ran like clockwork8 months later we asked John: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
The system was installed in July 2020 and so far the system has recovered 23% of the initial cost and I am in credit. The system is on track to be paid back within 3.5 years or less. Could not be happier.11 March 2021
EnergySA ftw
Was really happy with the entire process from start to finish. Sam was knowledgeable and not at all pushy. The installation was right on time, and even finished early. Best of all was the fact that EnergySA artfully navigated the arcane process of getting my installation hooked up to the grid and transferred to a retailer. I have no hesitation recommending EnergySA.Panel rating: 5/5

Outstanding service
Sam went above and beyond to answer all our questions and made the whole process painless. The team that did the install were polite and professional. The admin staff have been extremely helpful. I would absolutely recommend Energy SA.17 January 2021
Great service from quote through to and including installation.
The sales quoting process was easily understood especially because Robby Mack anticipated our questions and provided just the right amount of detail to clearly explain what was covered in the quote.The installation team was punctual and - they explained exactly what they would be doing, answered our questions, were polite, and cleaned up as soon as they finished. Before leaving they explained exactly what they had done and gave us the opportunity to ask questions.
Customer service is excellent - and yes they are providing support with the grid connection.

Happy Customer
Got a phone call from Energy SA pretty quickly. Received a quote via email in detail. Fired lots of questions when he came to discuss about the quote. He's very knowledgeable and answered all of them.Installation went very smoothly. They were punctual, polite, friendly and explained the process well.
Customer service after via email is good. They organised grid connection prior to installation but my energy company could not find it so Energy SA resend the application immediately.
Also provide support with solar energy production. We are very happy!

Efficient and informative
EnergySA were very impressive. Highly professional. Great information given by Robby Mack and team. Background work done with minimal fuss. Had to have major upgrade of meter and rerouting of electrical box and electricians did the job efficiently. Assisted with co-ordination of all the necessary parties and follow-up.13 November 2020
Trustworthy and knowledgeable
Sam (Sales Representative) was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He was also very patient, answering endless questions. We had to troubleshoot a few details prior to committing to installing, and Sam was quick to think outside the square to help us make progress.Installation day went smoothly, and the result on the roof is neat. The installers were punctual, and courteous.
All paperwork and connection was handled by EnergySA, and our system was up and running the next day after installation was completed. Very efficient!!
After installation, there was a little hiccup with Solar Analytics program set up, and communication with the office (Stacey) and with Sam was easy and without delays.
All up: happy customers!

Sam was very informative and helpful with the quote.All the Installers were very polite. They arrived on the dates pre arranged and left their work site
as they found it.
Energy SA organised the grid connection which was all completed within 3 days

Efficient and Worry Free
From consultation to installation everything has been organised and efficient. Robby explained the choices and process clearly, arranged for the meter box to be changed and timing and paperwork couldn’t have been easier and stress free. The system we decided on is in the mid range so will prove its worth over time. We would thoroughly recommend Energy SA for their reliability and expertise.18 September 2020
Couldn't be happier!
Having got multiple quotes from solar providers I chose EnergySA. Their quote was detailed, with multiple options. Sam was punctual, polite and very helpful taking me through everything step-by-step. I was lucky enough to get a cancellation so my installation was very quick. The installation team arrived on time, were very polite and tidied up after themselves - everything you could wish for from tradies! Stacey provided me with excellent customer service including helping me with co-ordinating with my electricity supplier which, due to COVID-19, was sending calls to Manilla! All-in-all a very positive experience and I would not hesitate in recommending EnergySA to anyone else.

Brilliant company to deal with
Purchased a 10kW solar system with micro inverters in July 2020 from Energy SA. Salesman (Robby Mack) was great - friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Energy SA was the only solar company that actually came to our site and looked at it in real life, not quoting from a google maps image.Robby considered our requirements and provided multiple quotes at our request so we could review numerous options, and then followed up promptly to answer questions in detail. In the end, they were not the cheapest solar quote but we are confident we have the best system for our needs with quality components. The adminstration was perfect from Lisa and Stacey and we were kept well informed during the process. Installation was perfect - friendly, polite, professional team of 3 guys who arrived on time and finished the job within a day without fuss and cleaned up after themselves. We are still waiting for the electricity provider to install the meter before we can turn on the system but we can already monitor consumption with the Enphase Enlighten website and that is enlightening in itself!
I highly recommend Energy SA if you value high quality, good communication and great customer service.

Very good service and product
The entire process was easy and hassle free. Paul gave several good quotes and after the selection Martin and the team did an excellant job is putting everything togather. I am very happy with the service and the final product.03 July 2020
Best value compared to most
After shopping numerous Solar Companies EnergySA gave advice which saved future problems as other Companies just wanted to sell a Solar System. I already have Solar and just added a battery and needed extra panels. This Company explained what was needed as I recently obtained a Battery charger not an Inverter and needed an additional one. They access numerous Inverters and panels so after extensive research I obtained a system and they came up with the best price and after signing the system was installed within a month. Everything went smoothly and all working well. Other Companies were trying to sell their system that they had obtained a good price even though it was a low rated system. Most of the Solar panels are Tier One but they rate from the best to the bottom of the pile.Panel rating: 5/5

An extremely professional business who I highly recommend. Robby did an amazing job designing a solar system for a complex roof, the administration was very smooth thanks to the girls in the office who kept everything moving and the actual installation was seamless. The follow up support has been great. This is a business who genuinely cares for their customers and provides an extremely high quality product and service.Inverter rating: 5/5

Top Team
Right from the outset of working with Energy SA the process has been a delight. All the staff, clerical and technical alike, absolutely own their jobs exhibiting their knowledge, skills and attitude in a friendly and professional manner throughout the whole process.I have no hesitation with recommending the company for solar panel installations and believe that all their services would be supplied with the same excellent candor.
Well done all!

Let down by disorganized installation
I was impressed with the explanation of what the salesman considered the best system for me. I was also impressed with one other company that gave me a quote. In the end it had to get down to price. Unfortunately energy sa were very disorganized in doing the installation. It was done over four different days.17 September 2019
Very impressive company
The sales and quoting process was thorough and professional. Easy to understand. Well demonstrated. Focus on quality products that will work for a given situation.Installation process was likewise very professional, efficient and thorough. All seemlessly coordinated with electrician.
Customer service was terrific - very seamless and EnergySA liaised directly with SAPN.

Absolutely Trustworthy
Quite often, with the vast number of solar companies offering all sorts of deals, it's hard to know who to trust. Trust Energy SA !.Sam quoted our system and laid out all the options and was able to answer any questions on the fly. Very knowledgeable. Others focused on the downside of fly by nighters or persistently negative about the pitch of the roof (in our case). Sam addressed those issues without fuss but that was all.
Peter got the preliminaries sorted with the minimum of fuss and was mindful of the little things that a home owner finds important.
Robby called to give news of a reasonably lengthy delay with installation and despite my measured disappointment did an excellent job of rearranging schedules to get as close to back on track as he could.
Martin, Louis & Peter got the job done with good nature and consideration and had the system running within a week of start date. (With a slight delay for weather)
And finally, Stacey & Lisa, although unseen in the process, made sure that all the admin side was efficiently and promptly dealt with.
We would not recommend anyone else. Brilliant service and workmanship from start to finish.

Friendly and professional
Every person that we dealt with in the installation process (initial salesperson, office staff, roof preparer, installer, electrician) was friendly, punctual and professional. We are happy with the installation and confident that if we need any after sales support, we will be dealt with in the same way.
Caring none invasive
Answered everything I needed to know. Went through and explained everything clearly, made sure that I understood what would happen on the day.
