Why Cert O Comp
Why clients keep our number
Anyone can sell you panels. What people remember is who picked up the phone, who arrived when they said they would, and who came back when something needed attention.
Done properly, and certified
Every job is done to SANS 10142 by a Red Seal electrician and AREP-registered PV installer, and signed off with a Certificate of Compliance.
We stand behind our work
5 years on workmanship, 10 on lithium batteries, 5 on inverters, plus online monitoring and two free maintenance checks in year one.
Meet your electrician
A business with a name, and a phone that gets answered
Cert O Comp isn't a call centre or a big franchise. It's run by Christiaan Koch, a qualified Red Seal electrician and registered solar installer who is hands-on with every job and puts his name on the work.
That makes a difference when it counts. When the power trips, the geyser goes cold or the inverter throws an error, you're not put in a queue. You get a call back, an honest answer, and someone at your door as soon as it can possibly be arranged.
The same care goes into every solar installation: designed around how you actually use power, installed neatly, explained clearly, and followed up long after the job is done.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is the site assessment really free?
Yes. We visit your property, assess your roof and power needs, and give you a detailed quotation at no cost and with no obligation.
Do I need a Certificate of Compliance for solar?
Yes. A solar installation is an electrical installation, and a COC confirms it meets SANS 10142. Insurers and buyers will ask for it. We issue one on every installation that complies.
What type of roof can you install on?
Our packages include mounting for IBR and tiled roofs. Angled roof-mount structures are available and quoted separately.
Can I see how my system is performing?
Yes. We set up online monitoring so you can follow your solar production and battery level, and we use it to support you if anything needs attention.
