DC Microgrid Off-Grid Installation Port Elizabeth

Specialized Solar Systems (SSS), Port Elizabeth branch did an installation of a DC microgrid in one of the local townships in the Port Elizabeth area.

Leoni Erasmus- Specialized Solar Systems, Port Elizabeth – was called by the customer with no grid electrification. They required an off-grid system that would supply enough lighting for her children to study effectively when it was dark as she wanted them to get better marks at school. Leoni promptly consulted with the client to ascertain their immediate requirements working within a reasonable budget with options to upgrade the system in the near future.

The client was pleased with the quote and after a few months of saving contacted Leoni with an eagerness to get the installation of the DC microgrid done as soon as possible.

The installation took less than 1 hour with inquisitive onlookers and neighbors extremely excited about the solar proceedings. They kept on remarking ” Hey! I want this solar thing!…”

Apart from this client being the ‘talk of the town’ the result of this installation is also an exceptionally satisfied customer who is already saving for additional DC items. Starting with a bigger battery so that SSS – approved DC appliances such as a TV or a fridge and more, can be used as replacements for traditional AC powered appliances. These also work more efficiently with the DC microgrid system.

The DC microgrid from Specialized Solar Systems is completely off-grid, easy to install and can be expanded upon as the users may require.

I had Specialized Solar Systems install a hybrid solar and battery backup system, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. They set up a Victron 5kVA x 2 system, paired with 3 x 5400kWh batteries and 2 MPPTs to support two banks of solar panels. The team was professional, accommodating, and truly went above and beyond throughout the entire process.Their pricing for high-quality equipment is unbeatable, and their after-sale service is absolutely fantastic. The system has been running flawlessly for 11 months now. I also opted for the 10-year warranty (instead of 5 years), and the peace of mind it brings is worth every cent.If you’re looking for top-notch solar solutions in the area, look no further—there’s nobody better! Highly recommended!

Another year has gone bye and our installation is 2 years old. SSS Did an excellent job installing what is without doubt superior equipment, Victron. I live in Worcester and opted not to use the locals. Got a better job done by a good team. Follow up and service since is without complaint.

First class service with a lack of in depth explanation. In time I was able to sort it out in my mind. Dealt with Ryan Gill who proved his dedication both to me and your company. I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone seeking an installation.

I have been dealing with SSS for several years, organized a Solar system from my design with their specialized advice, bought the components at good prices and installed it. It was so good to have their backing as when I did have problems with their equipment, they were very quick to get it replaced without any fuss. Excellent service.

Specialized Solar Systems installed my home solar system (inverter, battery, solar panels) with the utmost of professionalism and technical competence right from sales to the installation staff. A very happy customer. Thank you. Perhaps an area of improvement could be more effective internal communication between sales and the installation team. Best, Chris Horsley.

Excellent products and exceptional service makes choosing Specialized Solar Systems as our well researched solar service provider four years ago, the best choice that we could have made. Friendly and professional service with our initial installation, an extension to our solar system and all the questions and adjustments over the past years. You guys remain undoubtedly the BEST !!

A great end result from a dedicated, professional and very hard working SSS team that didn't leave until our installation in Oudtshoorn was done way past office hours. These guys won't give up no matter how long it takes! Finally we are less dependent on Eskom and what a wonderful feeling and privilege. Thank you Malherbe, Gerrie, Bobby, Madoda, Quinton and Mr. positive (owners, please mention his name in your reply) Just bear in mind that the current demand is very high so keep your expectations realistic regarding installation time frames.

We were referred to Specialized Solar System by a close business colleague. It has been a breeze dealing with Bobby Hodgson and his team. Our installation was very neatly installed and is all up and running very efficiently. Added to this is SSS are Green Card accredited which adds more peace of mind that we have chosen a well established quality Company. Thank you guys!!

I used the Gauteng supplier, Approved Solar Systems, and I truly appreciate the professionalism showed by the team. They consulted on my needs and answered all of my questions. The turn around was really fast. Most importantly they were warm and friendly to deal with. The positive experience was worth every penny. Thanks for an amazing service...it's a lost art these days.

I was very satisfied with the professionalism and quality of the service provided by SSS at my home in Welgelegen George, installing a solar system.To put the cherry on top, I was informed by SSS about 2 weeks after the job was finished and paid for, that I have overpaid them by R32000 and that they would refund me! I was not aware of this and they could have kept quiet and I would never have known. This reflects great business ethics and I can really recommend these guys!

I've been investigating a solar solution for our house in Randburg for the past 5 years. From all the interaction I had with various companies SSS is by far the most professional. They are the only company that was willing to do a decent study of our power usage before making a recommendation of what is needed. The level of service I received was world class. The CEO was actually interacting with me directly via phone and e-mail and explaining everything in a way I can understand. Thank you for time Jonathan! You and your team really showed what service is all about. The installation is very neat and I can already see a huge reduction in my grid consumption. No need to stress about load shedding anymore.

I like when people know their stuff and are not too wrapped up in their expertise to spend time with those who are not so knowledgeable to explain things. I had a good experience and liked the calm confidence the staff projects.
