Khalanga group offers bad service and Unprofessionalism

If you are ever thinking of installing a solar system, please do not ever think of contracting KHALANGA GROUP. The owner Gideon sounds nice and friendly for a start but very arrogant and unprofessional at the end. He even uses a video he took while working at Multichoice Randburg to convince clients that they work with big companies (till date, I still wonder how and why multichoice used this guy, with so many bad reviews on this app). To start with, he brought with him wrong and cheap materials, which I then straight away told him to return them and come with the materials I ordered. Secondly after the installation was done using the right materials he told me that he would like to add changeover for the geyser, which we agreed but he installed it incorrectly as the geyser timer would now switch on and off the whole house instead of controlling the geyser only, meaning my appliances in the house were in danger. When I told him to come and fix his mess, he started to be arrogant and couldn’t answer my calls. He told me, “I am at the car wash, going to Limpopo for lobola negotiations” and then he stopped taking my calls. I then called an independent inspector to come and inspect the whole installation and found that the whole system was not installed properly. He found that Gideon used 6mm cables instead of the recommended 10mm cables to do the installations around the DB (which is why most inverters and batteries explode), no earthing was done on the system, no earth spike, no surge protection breaker was installed, lastly there was no communication between the batteries and the inverter as they took the CAN busbar cables which are used to establish the connection between the inverter and the batteries. So, guys if you are ever thinking of installing solar systems, please do not use KHALANGA Group electrical as they don’t use the proper recommended cables for installation, they would bring you cheap materials and they do not do your installation properly so that the batteries can discharge, hence many people complain about them exploding. Be warned and do not waste your money on this guy. I was likely to have discovered this earlier.
