What this business's certifications actually buy you

This listing states: ECA. Here is what each of those means in practice, and what it does not cover.

Certifications are self-declared on unclaimed listings and are not independently audited by SolarZA. Ask for the certificate number and check it with the issuing body before you sign anything.

What to ask SunX 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.
• 2Warranty terms are not stated. Ask for three separately: the panel performance warranty, the inverter warranty, and the workmanship warranty on the installation itself. The third is the one that fails first and the one most installers do not put in writing.
• 3Trading 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.
• 4There 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.

What solar is worth at this location

Nahoon, East London averages 5.0 kWh/m²/day across the year, dropping to 3.5 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 13.7 kWh on an average winter day, 24.6 kWh in summer, and about 7 118 kWh a year. Buffalo City is a metro that bills its own electricity, so an East London application does not go to Eskom. The coastal strip from Nahoon through Gonubie is a high-corrosion zone; inland suburbs are not, and a quote that prices marine-grade mounting for both is quietly overcharging one of them.
