Absolutely disgusting

Absolutely Disgraceful – Wetility Has Cost Us Thousands in Damages Due to Their Incompetence

If you’re considering Wetility for solar, do yourself a favour and run the other way.

On the first weekend of April, we had a power outage. Our solar system — installed by Wetility — failed miserably. It drained the battery completely and caused repeated on/off cycling that damaged both our TV and Xbox. The system didn’t protect our home, it destroyed our electronics.

When I called for support, the technicians came out and admitted that a regulator was never installed — something that should have been done from the beginning. This wasn’t a freak accident. This was a clear case of gross negligence by Wetility’s team.

To make matters worse, the so-called support has been a complete joke.

Linda, the person handling our query, has had this on her desk for over 3 weeks and has only bothered to email me twice. I’ve tried calling her multiple times — she never answers. Zero accountability, zero urgency, and a complete disregard for the inconvenience and damage they’ve caused.

Now they want me to chase down technicians and service centres to get damage reports to satisfy their insurance? The same insurance that’s only involved because they messed up in the first place? The same insurance I wouldn’t even need to deal with if they had installed the system properly?

Where is the apology? Where is the compensation? Where is the sense of responsibility?

You sold us a product that failed because of your team’s laziness, and now you’re dodging the fallout.

Avoid Wetility at all costs — unreliable systems, unqualified staff, and customer service that will leave you more frustrated than Eskom itself.

Extremely Disappointed with Wetility & Black Legend

My TV stopped working due to an issue with the Wetility solar box. It took over a month for their service provider, Black Legend, to “repair” it. Just two weeks after getting it back, the TV started blinking. For another two weeks, I received no response from Wetility despite multiple calls. Only after threatening to go public did I receive a reply—suddenly the issue was “unrelated” to the original claim.

What’s worse, Black Legend claimed they tried contacting me, which is simply not true—I have the call logs to prove I was the one trying to reach them. My TV had no issues before they handled it, and now they expect me to pay for a problem they likely caused.

Wetility support feels non-existent, and Black Legend comes across as a backyard operation doing quick fixes that fail just in time to deny accountability. Completely unacceptable.
