First Solar (sales@solar-boer.co.za) SCAM!
I have been scammed! The owner of a neighbouring property (Antoine Strydom from Sasolburg area) mentioned he was driving to Centurion to a reputable Solar store. I asked him for advice on a lithium battery, and he kindly offered to purchase (with my money) a 5kva inverter and 7.2kw lithium battery for my bedridden, 80+ year old father who relies on an oxygen machine and only has solar power. I received the invoice from Antoine (who had invoiced me): 19 February 2022, Mark, First-Solar, Dispatch Germiston, Cell 0814822575. Inv 322 and PO 22683. FNB Wizegroup (Pty) Ltd. A guarantee of 10 years on battery and 2 years on inverter. The inverter started smoking and leaking a fluid so I decided to take the goods for checking and cover under warranty. Only to discover that nothing seems to exist. The invoice amount was R27 999.00 - which my bedridden, SASSA pensioner, father had paid! If anyone knows any further information about this company or person, please let me know as I'd like to do the honourable thing on behalf of my father-and society. Not okay to scam anyone, let alone an 80year old person reliant on solar for oxygen. Are these stolen goods? The battery has been resprayed black, was red and now the paint is showing. No serial number. It is supposed to be 48v yet the volts measure 20V.... How does one tell an elderly person they've stolen from them, really sad.

First Solar South Africa is A Huge Scam
The original company is located in Arizona, USA. They are unaware of the fact that their logo and concept was used to implement this scam. Please warn others. I have invested R39700,00 into First Solar and would to get my money back and warn others of this scam. There is a new website and app called Genesis Solar (GS) that was created using the same concept of the First Solar website and app that doesn't exist anymore

Don't buy into this scam!!!
I enjoyed first solar to make so good side line business. I deposit a R700 to them to start my venture. The the few days it looked really promising, until they increase the platform prices and boom you can't find the website anywhere. I can't log in nothing. R700 might sound little but it's something I worked for and entrusted a company to do the right thing. Things are already so rough and tough in South Africa right now. Why would you steal from people?

First Solar ‘South Africa’ is a huge scam!
The original company is an international company. They were unaware of the fact that their logo and concept was used to generate this scam. Please warn others. Many people lost a lot of money. The website doesn’t even exist anymore.

DO NOT TRUST FIRST SOLAR
Biggest scam under the sun! No pun intended. They've been robbing thousands if not millions of users of their money. DO NOT TRUST FIRST SOLAR. After your first initial deposit, they will keep bumping the prices up of the PV generators. And then you have to deposit money to withdraw money. Do not fall foe this scheme. Don't deposit money and don't believe anyone stating something different as we have been experiencing this first hand.
