What this business's certifications actually buy you
This listing states: ECA, PV_GreenCard, SAPVIA. Here is what each of those means in practice, and what it does not cover.

Issued by ECA South AfricaProfessional body representing qualified electrical contractors. Members must meet strict standards.
What ECA covers and what it does notPV GreenCard

What to ask SA Off Grid Power before you sign
These questions are generated from what this specific listing does and does not tell us. They are not accusations - a gap in a directory record usually means nobody has filled it in yet - but they are the gaps you should close yourself.
- 1The listed certifications do not mention a Certificate of Compliance. A COC is a legal requirement for the electrical work, not an optional extra, so confirm in writing that one will be issued and registered in your name.
- 2Trading history is not published here. Ask how long the business has traded under its current registration, not the owner's years in the industry. A twenty-year electrician can still be running a two-month-old company, and your workmanship warranty is only as durable as the entity behind it.
- 3There is little or no public review history on file. Ask for two reference installations completed in the last year within 30 km of you, and phone them. A small review count is not a red flag on its own - plenty of good installers never chase reviews - but it does mean you have to do the verification yourself.
- 4This business advertises a wide service area. Confirm who physically attends a callout at your address and what the response time is, because a wide footprint is often subcontracted and the warranty conversation gets complicated when the installing team is not the contracted party.
What solar is worth at this location
Port Elizabeth, Gqeberha averages 5.2 kWh/m²/day across the year, dropping to 3.6 in June. On those figures a 5 kW array with a 5 kWh battery - the most commonly quoted household system in South Africa - generates roughly 14.0 kWh on an average winter day, 25.7 kWh in summer, and about 7 402 kWh a year. Gqeberha is the windiest metro in the country and that governs the mounting spec more than the panel choice does. Rail spans and clamp counts should be calculated for the local wind zone rather than taken from a national default, and roof-hook pull-out on older asbestos and IBR sheeting is the failure most often found on cheap installs here. Nelson Mandela Bay bills its own electricity and runs its own embedded generation registration.

This listing has not been claimed by SA Off Grid Power. It was compiled from public business records and the company's own published material, then checked for internal consistency. We publish it because an incomplete listing that says so is more useful than no listing at all, but treat every field as unverified until the business confirms it.
Not on file for this business: years in business. Those are gaps in our record, not necessarily gaps in the business.
Ratings and review counts shown are the public Google figures at the time of our last refresh and will drift. Something wrong here? Claim the listing or tell us and we will correct it.
