How to Choose Where to Buy Solar Online in South Africa

Buying solar equipment online is safe when you know what to check. Use this list on any supplier, including us. The Sun Pays has supplied solar equipment in South Africa since 2007 and sells from Rayton, Pretoria.

A checklist for buying solar online

  1. A real address and phone number. You should be able to call someone and visit if needed.
  2. Specific product details. Look for full specifications and datasheets, not just a photo and a price.
  3. Warranty terms in writing. Find out how long, what it covers and who pays for transport on a claim.
  4. Local repairs and spares. Ask where faulty units are repaired and how long it takes.
  5. Stock and delivery. Check real stock, delivery cost and time before you pay.
  6. Independent reviews. Look at reviews on sites the shop does not control.
  7. Price in rands, including VAT. Compare like with like, including panels, mountings, cables and breakers.
  8. Technical support. Can you reach someone who understands the product when you have a question?
