Non-compliant solar system installation

Solar installation at a residential property: final payment 27 January 2023 (around R240k). Subsequent issued CoC was false (person not traceable or registered). Second CoC was issued by another individual, not employed by Velocity, but for only a portion of the solar installation, he was not registered for the other portion. Employees of Velocity subsequently replaced and repaired some components and installed additions for my own account. The communicated unfinished, and questionable installation components remained unresolved. As a result I had an audit done by Department of Labour inspectors (July 2023) that detailed many legal and regulatory deviations in this solar installation in a Certificate Of Inspection Report. The DoL initiated process is underway with an attempt to resolve the non-compliance issues. It also appears the Velocity Energy Solutions is/was not registered at the DoL. Based on the above, I would not recommend Velocity Energy Solutions to do any solar installation, nor would I recommend doing business with any of it's Directors.
