I had the pleasure of dealing with Fred for my Off Grid installation. He and his team did an amazing job. Very knowledgeable man with a wealth of experience. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Off-grid SAPS with substantial winter ready storage supplying a shed workshop and home
This installation combines two Victron MultiPlus-II inverter/chargers, dedicated SmartSolar charge controllers and a substantial battery bank. A wall-mounted display puts system performance in view, while clearly labelled isolation points and organised cable runs make the layout easier to follow and service. Each part has its place, with attention to both everyday operation and future maintenance.
