WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Connect St Helena Ltd

SPS had a signifcant impact in assisting Connect Saint Helena Ltd get on the road to becoming 100% reliant on renewable energy. SPS was tasked with three solar PV roof installations and one ground solar farm on the island. The construction of a solar system in such a remote location was a big undertaking due to the constraints faced in logistics, including the transportation of materials, all of which had to be imported by boat. These challenges could at times turn into a logistical nightmare when working within contractual time frames and availability of space on the boat. SPS overcame all constraints and delivered as promised.

Ronald De Rueck

Project Manager

Two Oceans Aquarium

SPS have successfully completed two projects, which included a 5 kWh (in 2011) and 142 kWh (in 2016) installation at the Two Oceans Aquarium. Both projects were designed and installed professionally and produce what was initially specified in their documentation. It was a pleasure working with SPS’s design and installation teams. They got the job done with no fuss and kept us up to date every step of the way. I would have no problem in recommending them for any future works.

Mike de Maine

(former) Technical Manager

Atterbury

The size and nature of this solar installation required an EPC with the right credentials and experience, Atterbury is proud to be associated with a project and contractor of this nature.

Wessel Boshoff

Group Operations Manager

V&A Waterfront

Highly recommended. Very competitive. Total turn key solutions & projects, from feasibility study to execution of integrated Solar systems. Excellent back up service which include maintenance on entire system. Live monitoring of actual sites with half hour updates daily. Yield reports on a monthly basis which include performance of plant year on year; month on month etc. Excellent project management with weekly feedback on progress of projects, commissioning of systems and quality control of projects.
