Abysmal service, technically incompetent and over R200 000 wasted

<p>On Oct 7th  last year I paid R85 000 deposit to Energymax for solar system to be installed to run my cottages, there was a 6-8 week lead time so it was supposed to be finished in Dec. After many excuses and 5 months later I was told the job was complete so paid the balance of R84 011.52 on March 23rd. The system to this day is not working! Eskom is supposed to provide back up, if Eskom goes off so does the solar! It has been a nightmare, the power constantly trips at the main box, at the cottages or the inverter shuts down. Even when we have Eskom power we still have no power to the cottages  as everything runs through the inverter.</p> <p>To ease the situation I have had to put in new gas stoves and hobs at extra expense.  Then at their recommentdation I replaced a solar geyser with one of their "more efficient" models at over R20 000.</p> <p>To add to this Energymax installed some solar outside lights. To this day, that is 3 months later, they have worked only 5 nights! How can they be so incompetent, I bought a solar light from Builderswarehouse and it worked immediately. I guess if you can't make a solar outside light work how on earth are you able to install a system to run the house!!!! </p> <p>I would never recommend these people they are totally incompetent!</p>
