Thank you for the additional panels.
During the installation it was clear that the previous installer did not connect the wires from the panels to the board properly.
Thanks to Kobus whom fixed all the wires according to standard.
This issue could have been resolved a long time ago.
I believe that we might continue with this partnership in the way forward.
Thank you to Remano Kyster from the Service Center to ensure that the system is now fully operational.

I am compelled to escalate this matter directly to your office due to my ongoing dissatisfaction with the performance of the solar system installed by Stage Zero and the lack of an acceptable resolution despite raising my concerns.
The system supplied and installed at my property has failed to perform as represented during the sales process. The primary reason for entering into this agreement was to achieve savings on my electricity costs and obtain a reliable energy solution. Unfortunately, the opposite has occurred.
Instead of reducing my expenses, the installation has left me financially worse off. I am now paying more than I was prior to the installation, with little to no indication that the system is delivering the benefits, savings, or performance that were promised. As a consumer, I relied on the representations made by Stage Zero when deciding to proceed with this installation. Had I known the actual outcome, I would never have entered into the agreement.
Furthermore, I find it unacceptable that my legitimate concerns have not been properly acknowledged. The explanations provided to date have, in my view, been dismissive and have effectively insulted my intelligence as a paying customer. Rather than accepting accountability for the system's shortcomings, I have been left feeling that the burden of a failed solution is being shifted onto me.
I therefore formally demand the following:
1. Immediate cancellation of the agreement.
2. Confirmation that no settlement amount, cancellation fee, penalty, or early termination charge will be payable by me.
3. Removal of the equipment, where applicable, at no cost to me.
4. Written confirmation of the cancellation process within 7 business days.
My request is based on the fact that the system has not delivered the expected value, performance, or financial benefit that formed the basis of the agreement. It is unreasonable and unfair to expect me to continue paying for a solution that is not meeting its intended purpose, or to require me to pay a settlement amount in order to exit an agreement where the promised outcomes have not materialised.
I reserve all my rights under the Consumer Protection Act, including my rights in respect of services that were not rendered to the standard reasonably expected by a consumer and goods that fail to meet the purpose for which they were marketed and supplied.
Should Stage Zero refuse to resolve this matter amicably, I will have no alternative but to pursue all remedies available to me, including lodging formal complaints with the National Consumer Commission, the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud, and any relevant finance provider associated with this agreement.
I trust that your office will give this matter the urgent attention it deserves and will act in good faith to reach a fair resolution.
I look forward to your written response within 7 business days.
Yours sincerely,

Tebogo was was honest and helpful. I am happy with the quality of service I received even when he had to verify with his team, he honored his words and called me back to provide me with instant feedback. Thank you so much 👍

Great when taking out a contract. Dismal when cancelling. Would not recommend

I have been having an issue with my solar since last week. I was informed that Stage Zero needs to send out an technician. Not getting any feedback now on my messages. Called in today and was informed that support will phone me back, still nothing.
Really disgusting service.

Extremely impressed with my Stage Zero solar system. The installation was exceptionally neat and professional and looks impressive.
The service has been next-level from start to finish, and the app is really great to use to monitor and track the performance.
The best part is the savings on the electricity bill. Our electricity bill has dropped from over R4,000 per month to under R1,000. At that rate, the system practically pays for itself.
Highly recommend Stage Zero.
