Hi guys.
We have paid an installer (A LOT OF) money to do solar systems on 3 houses. However, all kinds of issues are now surfacing. He's not coming to light with the panels, we find out that he's not registered anywhere, he's done the installations in such a way that it endangers my family, and is generally not practical where it's been installed... the list goes on.

He now reckons to tell me that his quote (we paid on an invoice) has T's & C's which allows him to amend prices of anything he buys from a third party, and that he never gave us an ETA, so "he could take a year if he wants to."

What are our rights from the CPA point of view? Apart from reporting him everywhere that he's supposed to be registered (Dept Labour etc)

What are we to do? We paid over nearly R300 000 2 months ago already (after taking out loans to do this), and it seems that we're screwed.

Thanks in advance for all the wonderful advice that is going to be streaming in!
