We love Gosolr

I decided about a year ago to get solar, due to running our business from home we could not afford to have power outages any more. It just became to expensive for us. GoSolr was the right option for us. No upfront costs ( I'll invest that in my business thanks) A week later our solar was up. Sparki Solar were the experts that installed the system. The first thing that impressed me was that they were right on time on the minute when they told us they will start with the installation. I was impressed with how knowledgeable the technicians were. Their work were professional and of a high standard. Everything looked so neat, wires were in trunking, everything was straight. When the were finished the day they cleaned the walls, wiped up all the dust on the floor and picked up their rubble of the installation and took it with them.

I am from an older generation, and technology doesn't come easy to me. The poor technician took his time to teach me how the system work, how the app work and how the system operates. The next day their office called and asked me if I was happy with everything. But, you only judge a company when things go wrong. A couple of months later there were problems with the system, the GoSolr team at first try to solve the problem on their side through the internet, but the problem couldn't be solved that way. The next day the Sparki Solr team was here, another team from the installation, but just as friendle and helpful. The problem was actually an Eskom problem, so nothing on the installation side.

We very quickly saw our electricity purchases drop (sigh of relief) , I am a photographer, and my studio are at my home. When a client booked a photoshoot in the studio they don't want to hear that the substation was vandalised, caught fire, electricity cables were ******, or there were loadshedding. Previously I lost a lot of money because of Eskom problems, now my studio can always help my clients because I always have electricity through my solar.

I decided two weeks ago to upgrade my system, and the SparkiSolar team was there within a week, I was again impressed with these guys work ethic and knowledge. (These are not traits that you often get from a lot of South African companies.)

My upgraded system has been in for a week now. From what my Solar app shows me I am sure I am going to have the absolute minimum electricity purchase from now on.

My friend that told me about GoSolr said to me yesterday her system from GoSolr and installed by SparkiSolr has been in for two years now. Her average monthly electricity purchase is R 200-00 and she works from home.

Thanks Sparki Solar and GoSolr, I am REALLY glad our paths crossed.

Hi Jc,

Wow, Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed experience, it truly means a lot to us. We’re happy to hear how well your system has supported both your home and your business, and it’s wonderful to know that Sparki Solar made such a strong impression from day one. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and care for customers are exactly what we strive for in every installation.

It’s also really great to hear how solar has helped keep your photography studio running smoothly, no matter what’s happening with the grid. Stories like yours really highlight the difference uninterrupted power can make.

We’re also glad that your upgrade went just as smoothly, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to the Sparki Solar team, they’ll appreciate it just as much as we do.

Thank you for being part of the GoSolr family. We’re really happy our paths crossed too.

Warm regards,
