Blue Planet Power

They installed a UPS System for me, works perfectly. Fantastic company.

They are very nice and pleasant to talk to. They talk in plain English so that it is easy to understand. From start to finish, they have been excellent. They are competitively priced, and they did a great job

The installation was done very neatly and easily. They're a friendly company.

I got a UPS installed at my property in centurion. Love it.

Great attention to detail. Great work done on my house.

Professional team of solar energy installers. Very helpful and reliable. Great service all round. Would recommend them to anyone looking to go off-grid.

Professional company. Would recommend them to anyone that needs solar.

Best supplier in Knysna area ,very kind people who helping you to get the best solar system for your need.

Thank you to Richard and the team. System has been in for one month and we have only used 3% of our power from Eskom. Great to be able to monitor the system remotely.

I've been most impressed with Blue Planet Power's installation of my 3 kW PV grid tide system. The installation was done just over a year ago & I am saving about R 1000 a month on my electricity bill at present municipal rates.

The service provided was excellent. Support continues to be readily available if required. Generally very pleased with the overall experience

Our experience was very positive. The process as a whole was very good, My wife and i are over the moon with our solar system.

All the employees were knowledgeable and good communicators. They lived up to all of my expectations.

Wonderful service, friendly installers they assisted me throughout the process and explained everything to me

They installed the panels all in one day. Customer service was very helpful and respectful . I will not hesitate to recommend them

Blue Planet Power assisted us with the recent Knysna Forest Marathon and delivered an Off grid solution to our race Start in the Forest going the extra mile in delivering. Well Done

The guys at Blue Planet Power did an amazing job at my house in PTA.. Great company

Blue Planet Power installed our solar system last month. The installation process was quick, efficient, and professional. The system has been working perfectly from day one. Highly recommended.

Very helpful instillation team, they did a great job

My electric bill was cut in half. They''re very organized and very professional. Will make use of them for my next house.

They were fast, accurate with their work, clean, and very professional. Everything we asked for they listened to and did.

Very professional approach by both the sales team and the installers. We are very pleased with our solar system.

Five phone calls to ask for a quotation Always a promise and never any action. Dudley

Company did a great job from start to finish. The install crew did a clean and thorough job. The office communicated very well through out the process.

My experience with Blue Planet Power was outstanding. No more load shedding for my family.

The panels have been pretty self-sufficient, and we have a link on our computer that tells us how much energy we're generating. The installers were very professional. We haven't had any issues since installation. We've been extremely pleased with this company.

If you are looking for a solar system,contact blue planet power. Great quality products, exceptional workmanship and great prices.

Absolutely outstanding , the solar system installed by blue planet power is running like a dream..

We noticed it reduced the electricity cost quite abit, and I think they did a good job. Presentation of the system was outstanding. It's been a very positive experience.

Thank you for wonderful service and excellent products. Your staff is competent and has a great mindset, it makes it a worthwhile experience to have them work on my premises.

Great service. Very knowledgeable staff at all positions. Installation team was fabulous & explained everything.

Yesterday was the last day of our installation from Blue Planet Knysna....setting up the solar panels and linking to the inverter. I am over the moon with the amazingly good standard of quality for the product supplied and the service excellence involved. Michael with his team mates Vincent and Brian are top class workers. Attention to detail is superb and the finished work cannot be faulted anywhere. Investing in solar power is expensive so quite daunting, but the value for money I received has made me realise just how lucky I am to have found this supplier. I got quotes for almost double from other suppliers, so am quite in awe of the standard offered at the price. Well done guys ...you can be very proud of the work you do and your great attitude dealing with the customer. Give these guys a bells!!!! Thank you all so much for helping me realise a dream of using solar power. I really appreciate it. Jill Solman.

Very happy with our 5kW grid-tied system - you guys did a great job. This has been one of the most satisfying purchases - In the three months of using the system, we have generated (thus saved) almost R3,000 worth of electricity without really trying! I love the simplicity of the system, and I can recommend it for anyone that can schedule power-intensive tasks to daylight hours, such as tumble dryers (ours runs almost every day!), swimming pool pumps and geysers.

Highly recommend Blue Planet Power to anyone that is looking to go solar, They use good quality products and there knowledge on anything solar is outstanding.

We have meanwhile received solar panels, inverters and batteries from Blue Planet Power on two houses.
We were very content with every aspect of the handling.
The installation was prompt and flawless.
The systems are working perfect.
Minor questions regarding the functioning of the systems have been answered very fast and clear.
We are completely off the grid:
we do not even realise any Escom load shedding.
It was really great to have had Aiden Bowley and his team working here !

Friendly and easy to deal with would highly recommend to anyone who needs solar.

A huge thank you to Blue Planet for a perfect installation of your solar system. Both management and staff are very knowledgable, friendly, hard working, and live up to their promises. Full marks for all of you!!

Thanks to the team at Blue Planet Power , Knysna for your professional service and advice during the supply and installation consisting of nine solar panels @ 2880 W , a 5 Kw Inverter , a 7,4 kWh Lithium-ion Battery and an internet based Logger . This system is working effortlessly with easy to monitor and manage App on the cell and Internet connection to follow graphs of inputs and usage. Thanks for your friendly service , and the peace of mind that our lights will stay on during these uncertain times .
Regards , Chris Campbell , Knysna .

My bills are lower... It was quick to install, and efficient.The installers did a fantastic job.They are a reputable company, i would highly recommend them.

Very good service from them. Good quality products.

BBP installed a solar system for me in alberton, what great service

These guys know their stuff. I had a heat pump installed recently and couldn't be happier. Getting 38C in the middle of winter.

They do very high quality work compared to other solar installations that I saw in my neighborhood.

After paying a significant deposit during the Nationwide Level 5 Lockdown, and subsequently cancelling my requirements during the same Level 5 lockdown, this business "announce" a 30% handling fee to Refund??? What costs/handling expenses could THey have occurred during Level 5???

Update to my post:

I have had to acquire the services of Legal Practioners to mediate with this Company. After 6 months of attempting a direct customer/vendor resolve, this outcome is what I can only describe as poor Customer Service, and evidence to this companies inability to want or maintain any customer retentions for future business.

Interesting response from owner:

Since the deposit was Paid, i was informed that "you were waiting for Stock from China?"
I never received any notification UP UNTIL the time of cancellation (level 5!!!l ) that stock had arrived???
So, during level 5 lockdown, you appear to indicate here, that you were able to Receive, Courier the goods to Gauteng?????

Very very interesting statement.!!!!

Satisfied company. Could not be happier with my UPS system.

Explained costs and benefits clearly. Systems are very well priced. They are all very courteous, professional, excellent price and workmanship.

Would highly recommend this company as the work provided was of the highest quality and the install crew were very professional in all aspects .

Very satisfied with the whole process. No need to worry about load shedding anymore.

Always available to help, no matter how stupid the question is. Support is amazing.

Excellent service from Blue Planet Power, especially from Richard and Kevin. From placing my order till the final installation I was kept informed of were we are with the progress. From Kloof Kwa Zulu Natal.

Everything was done when they said it would be and the installation was very smooth. We've had zero issues. Great service

I have no complaints about them. They came when they supposed to and everything was done in the time allocated and they said it would be.

Great company, very professional and they really know what they are talking about when it comes to anything solar

My system was installed about a month ago.I definely by all means will make use of your excellent service all over again. Companies like Blue Planet Power makes South Africa proud. To my astonishment, Richard Alkemade drove all the way from Knysna to inspect the work site and mainly to introduced the company to a new client in Beaufort West.From day one your team became like family. They were passionate and showed they care until the job was safely and successfully done. I am honoured to display the companies sign in front of my premises .Well done to your team. Peter Frans

Installed a UPS System at my place it is amazing. They did a really quick and neat job.

I am currently building a trailer and needed some help on solar and inverters. They were very heldfull and pricing was good

Great customer service and excellent sales team. They explained everything thoroughly, the process was a winner..

We had our solar installed about 9 months ago. I was waiting for something to go wrong before leaving a review, so I could check their after sales service. However NOTHING went wrong, not only in the installation but also since the system has been installed. The level of service and attention is outstanding. The teams who did the installations were knowledgeable, proficient, quick, clean and friendly.

Blue Planet were also the most affordable from all the quote we received.

We have't noticed a moment of loadshedding, that stress has completely lifted from our shoulders, plus we are saving a huge amount on our electricity bill per month.
If you are thinking about solar power (and you should be), don't get other quotes - just go with Blue Planet.

I had a UPS system installed at my house in Sandton they did a really good job.

They were very helpful in explaining solar and the system to me in great detail. I feel i made a conscious decision and when it came to doing the installation they did a great job my panels look amazing.

Overall my experience with the installation and everything has been really good. Things have gone smoothly and they have been really helpful.

Great experience from beginning to end. The staff at blue planet power where fantastic i dealt with Aiden he was a big help in answering all my questions and finally the crew that did the install and carefully worked to make sure the install was and still is the best of its type in my neighborhood.

We have to say a big thank you to Richard and his team of installer for doing such a fabulous job.....

Very smooth installation process, we enjoy to monitor our system online, team very helpful in achieving the optimum results. No cost "surprises" - we can honestly recommend Blue Planet and think it was a good decision to trust a company that has been doing business in Knysna for so many years.

Installed a 7.4 UPS. Best decision iv made. Great work.

Installation went very smoothly. Everything works and they left the property clean and tidy. Great company to deal with.

Thank you Blue Planet Power for the amazing service and great technical knowledge. No more load shedding for me!!! :-)

There weren't any problems with the installation. All the people that were there to install it,were great, and I'm very happy with and I've already recommended them to family and friends.

We have been off-grid for nearly 20 years and now needed an urgent upgrade and modernization of the first old system. There were many challenges in this as we were 48KVA, lead acid battery based.
This system carried many inefficiencies and batteries now exhausted after nearly 17 years of performance. Richard Alkemade and his team were able to better on this installation in this recent upgrade, improving on performance with nearly 60%. So much so, that we can operate as before, but now based on a system of only 14.5 + KVA storage, using Lithium Ion technology. Expertly and proudly SA made in Cape Town by MD solar. Seamless installation and switch over, even with a large number of guests at the resort. That is expert and a performance seeking comparison. Proudly South African....Yes, we can still do it! Thank You Blue Planet Power Team and MD Solar for your professional and top class service.
This difference clearly visible in Photos below, old (first two) new (second two).

They installed a 15kW system on my farm, system works really well and all 36 panels look great.

Had a system installed on my house in benoni. Already i am saving money on my monthly bill

The equipment works well since it's been installed, and we haven't had any problems. Installation went perfectly.

Thanks Richard and to all at Blue Planet power for your help and friendly assistance.

My electricity bill is nonexistent They were awesome, and it was very quick. They got me in within a month of me requesting their service.

It was pretty quick and didn't take much time at all. I definitely have way lower bills.

Thank you for the excellent service Richard, always a pleasure dealing with the Blue Planet Team.

Innovative solar supplier offering the latest tech. At competitive rates.

Brilliant company, They did a really good job with my custom system. Panels and all other components look great and they work well.

Blue Planet installed our solar system which was a glorified UPS that only gave us 10 minutes of power. After spending a fortune and being told that we would power up most of the house we were totally dissatisfied with the system. After numerous calls to the owner Richard Alkemade, to rectify problem he denied he was the owner and refused to assist us. Consequently, we had to employ a new company to come and install a new system. A word of warning, DO NOT use this company as you will have endless problems!

Installation was clearly done by Blue Planet, Knysna as can be seen by the pics. The proof is in the pudding!

Had a lithium-Ion UPS System installed at my house in Ballito last month. Now I can't wait for load shedding to come back to test out the system. Thx Blue Planet Power

My Wife and I had the best experience..The process for getting solar was great with blue planet power. I had other quotes but just didn't feel comfortable with them. Blue Planet Power, from the very beginning, was exceptional and the installers were thorough, friendly and explained everything during the process. They showed up when they said they would. There were no problems throughout the entire process. It all went smoothly. I would recommend them to my family and friends

Very professional Solar Company. Their locally manufactured Lithium-Ion battery product is superior.

Outstanding service from Blue Planet Power. Loving my new system.

I used blue planet power to install my off the grid system in my home. No more Load Shedding and feedback and response is great.
