This is a homestead in the location in Mgomanzi, I’m trying out a quote as I am tired of losing electricity all the time. This is for my parents so we have a couple of houses with zinc roof that may be better and cheaper fit. I’m looking for something really cheap, this is for lights, fridge, tv and washing machine purposes. I don’t have any pictures. I am hoping for real affordability and reliability
I would like a quote on a solar installation. We would use it to power the house throughout (geyser, fridge, TV and small appliances) but if the quote will be too high then we can request a second quote to power the geyser only. We are a family of 2, my partner and I and sometimes have guests over at the house.

We are selling our house and moving to George in April this year. It is an old Cape Dutch farm house and we need a full rewiring of our current electrics which has been done by the previous 2 owners without a legal COC. As far as we are aware, it is not registered as a heritage house. It is an old wiring system with some new cables that still needs to be put in to conduit. We have a solar system (which needs removing or updating), a heat pump, an alarm system and electrics running underground to our workshop (1 light switch), small cabin in garden (4 light switches) and a pool with pool pump. It is a teard level landscaping with rock borders, ponds, a bridge, concrete stairs and cement everywhere so not an easy pathway for the electrics to the outside buildings and pool.
