Solar at Takealot FAQs

Takealot has limited solar geyser options, mainly conversion kits and smaller units. For full solar geyser systems, Makro, Builders Warehouse, or specialist suppliers have better selection and pricing. Takealot excels for solar lights and accessories.

Quality varies enormously. Look for: 4+ star ratings with 50+ reviews, known brands, IP65+ weatherproofing rating, and adequate battery capacity (1200mAh+). Avoid products with few reviews or suspiciously low prices. Expect to spend R200+ for decent outdoor solar lights.

Prices vary by product: Makro often has the best geyser deals, Takealot offers competitive solar lights and accessories, Builders has good overall selection. Always compare across stores - prices can differ by 20-30% for the same product.

Online often has better prices and more selection. However, for heavy items like geysers, in-store pickup saves delivery fees. For installation, local stores may offer bundled installer referrals. Check return policies before buying.
