And suddenly; the lights never go off again…


In a country where power challenges have tested everyone’s patience, a business has come our way that truly delivers — reliable power and service reminiscent of the good old days.

We’ve been with Blackout Solar for almost a year now, and it’s been nothing short of life changing. Not only did we find the perfect solution to end power outages and have cost-effective power, but we also gained a new “family.”

Their team is eager, diligent, and driven to create a future filled with hope for every client. Corné and his team offer incredible service, always just a call away, always ready to help without hesitation.

We wholeheartedly recommend Blackout Power & Solar to any business that has stopped believing in miracles. They are a winning team in a country where light and hope can truly become reality.

Thanks to them, we can now water our trees at full capacity, without worrying about soaring energy costs or unreliable power. Our farming has taken a new, hopeful direction, and for that, we are deeply grateful.

Blackout Power is easily one of the best suppliers we’ve worked with in recent years.


They installed a 120 KW solar panel system for us in 2024, and despite our setup being quite complex, their team handled every challenge with professionalism and skill. Corné and his team went above and beyond — visiting the farm multiple times, ensuring every detail was perfect, and completing the installation efficiently.

The system has now been running for almost a year, and the savings have been remarkable. Their after-sales support has been equally impressive, and it’s been a genuine pleasure working with such a friendly and knowledgeable team. I would highly recommend Blackout Power to anyone looking for a reliable solar or backup power solution.

Blackout Solar & Power Solutions did an amazing job with our solar setup!


The installation was neat, quick, and handled with real attention to detail.
Corne and his team were great to work with — always friendly and helpful. Since the installation, we have peace of mind knowing we’re not affected by power outages anymore.
Fantastic service all around!

Highly professional with exceptional technical knowledge.


We recently worked with Blackout Power Solutions on two major solar installations on our farm, and the experience has been exceptional from start to finish.

Blackout installed a complete off-the-grid system for our two newly built homes. The entire setup, housed in a dedicated electrical room fitted with air-conditioning, is extremely neat, well-planned, and more than capable of running both homes effortlessly. Their workmanship is outstanding ,and the installation reflects true professionalism and attention to detail.

In addition to the residential system, they installed a large-scale ground-mounted system for the broader farm operations, taking us 60–70% off the grid. The ground-mount structure is exceptionally neat and structurally sound, and the overall installation quality is superb. The system included:

NEW SIGENSTOR 75kw Three-Phase Inverter

18 x SIGENSTOR 8kWh Batteries

135 x JA Solar 600W Bifacial Panels

Extensive AC and DC cabling, switchgear, surge arrestors, DB board work, and more.

What truly sets Blackout apart is their ongoing support. Corne and Jean, together with their team, were always willing to assist, whether we needed help understanding the system, interpreting the graphs, or simply had general questions. Their responses were quick, clear, and incredibly helpful.

They also upgraded several of our DB boards and installed Wi-Fi-enabled breakers for the geysers across the farm. This has given us full remote control through our phones, allowing us to set timers and optimise usage with ease, an added value we truly appreciate.

Blackout Power Solutions is a highly professional company with exceptional technical knowledge and a commitment to quality. We are extremely satisfied with their installations and the level of service we received. I highly recommend Corne, Jean, and their team to anyone considering a solar installation, whether residential, commercial, or agricultural.

Extremely satisfied.


I’ve used Blackout for three systems and I’m extremely satisfied with their work. They are very professional, efficient, precise, and neat. The installation was completed quickly, and their after-installation service is excellent. They are always easy to reach and available whenever I have questions. I would recommend their services to anyone.

All in all… HIGHLY recommended!


The first time I contacted Corne, I could immediately tell he genuinely wanted to help. No excuses about checking schedules or leaving you hanging. Corne and Jean visited me within 48 hours, answered every question I had about the solar installation, and were highly professional. The quote was sent quickly, and everything they told me verbally was accurately reflected in the quotation.

They gave me clear start and completion dates, and I was honestly sceptical — but they proved me wrong in the best way. They arrived ready to work, no time-wasting. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a company with the work ethic and quality that Blackout Solar & Power Solutions delivers.

I can recommend them with absolute confidence. Even their after-sales service is excellent. If you need Corne, you can message him and he replies instantly. To give an example: I once sent him a message while he was on holiday in Namibia — he immediately contacted Jean, and Jean got back to me right away. Most companies wouldn’t do that.

All in all… HIGHLY recommended!
