I recently had my inverter and batteries installed by Gensmart Electrical in Plettenberg Bay. Not only was the installation done superbly, but dealing with Ian and his staff Lucky, Mphumsi and Aries was an absolute pleasure. I highly recommend contacting Gensmart first if you intend installing a system, as their all-round service is fantastic!

I am stoked with the grid-tied installation done at my house. The team on-site was very friendly, efficient, and professional and they did a fantastic job. They have a keen eye for detail (aesthetics) and a drive to do things the right way (no shortcuts taken). The quotes I received were also well-priced, tailored to my requirements, and had no hidden costs. Thank you, Ian and team, for the quality service I received!

Gensmart did a reinstall of a hybrid solar system for me after having had major problems with repairs and compliance issues. The level of service and professionalism on reinstalling was amazing. I would recommend Ian and his operation to anyone who wants anything electrical done!
