Solar Bay FRAUD and THEFT - Lay charges with SAPS if you have been affected!!!
Large scale fraud is the only way to describe this. Loads of people have been victim to this guy and his companies taking money and not delivering, and on top of that causing damage to property. I have lost R140 000 (R285 000 total), plus about R55 000 in electricity bills that should have been R0 if the solar was installed in February 2020, as was agreed. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE reach out to me on flyingdutoit by gee mail, I will happily supply all the information I have. Numerous people have laid charges with SAPS and I have some people starting to looking at it. My biggest concern at the moment though, is ABSA's ineptness(?) to take this up. I have been sending details as they requested for 7 days in a row now, but Victoria Mahole from the fraud devision just keeps asking for "A detailed statement including the events that lead to a scam, account numbers involved, amounts, dates transactions took place." I have made this available to them repeatedly. I am at a loss for words. Shockingly bad service and I'm starting to wonder and jump to conclusions....

Bring a stop to Jonathan Stephenson scamming people
If you have been scammed by Jonathan Stephenson at Solar Bay, please contact Nyaradzo at Gunston Attorneys in Cape Town. She is dealing with my own matter against him. You'll have to google her contact details as this site doesn't allow me to publish phone numbers or emails. I have evidence of money going from Solar Bay into the account of another company that Jonathan is a Director of, which is in the tobacco industry. Clearly he didn't use your deposits to buy solar equipment. Happy to assist anyone in bringing this fraudster to justice

Stay away
I am currently engaged in litigation against Jonathan Clive Stephenson dating back to the water crisis in 2018. I have judgements against him and he has given the courts and the sheriff the runaround. I had to have him arrested and brought to court. He is able to hide behind limited liability by doing things in the name of companies, but he is personally heavily in debt, the bank has judgement against his house. Please contact me on 0823002706 if you are interested in joining forces to stop this man from scamming others.

Stay away from Jonathan Stevenson and solar bay
Very bad experience received from solar bay. Contact Jonathan from solar bay early in September and arranged for my solar system to be install within 3 weeks, I paid out the deposit and waited, after receiving the run around and excuse after excuse I requested a refund of the deposit in December 2020, I received a promise that it would be paid the next week then the excuses started again, the last communication I have had with Jonathan was on 31 March 2021 where again he has promised to pay back the money owed to me, till today I still have not seen either the solar panels or invertors or any of my money back, I would advise people to stay clear of him and any business he has, I am now having to resort to go the legal route to try and recoup some of my money

BEWARE of SOLAR BAY SA
SOLAR BAY - Takes your deposit and does not deliver. Jonothan Stephenson is an absolute lying snakeskin salesman. He actually believes his own stories. It is one excuse and one deadline after another. He has done exactly the same in the water drilling business under the name Jon Stephenson. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS MAN. I paid a deposit on the 17th June 2020, there were many efforts to get the goods on-site but it never happened. His last deadline was the 3rd of Dec 2020. He had more excuses. He then said the suppliers had changed this and the next. Then he said he had to change companies as there was no support. Then a promise for a date and then an excuse and the same thing over and over. Jonothan Stephenson is a compulsive liar. So do not deal with him at all. https://www.hellopeter.com/we-group-africa-ta-we-drill-africa/reviews/jon-stephenson-fraudster-thief-swindler-scam-artist-belongs-in-jail-2642074

Jonathan is a crook
I had exactly the same experience as the others that are complaining. Jonathan is a lier. Solar bay company is not even registered on his name. He stole our money and makes excuses the whole time for not delivering. We started legal action. Stay clear.
