Let customers speak for us
Haven't used it yet but very happy with what i got and quick delivery. Thanks to the guy who informed me about the best product that will work in my situation. Got a lifePO4 100Amp battery and a charger witch is perfect for my 48lbs trolling motor. Thnx for your good and speedy service, im a very happy chap.
Thanks soo much for the great service you guys gave me with my GENX GYSER thats faulty immediately told me to sent it back and give me a new one now that i call service did not ask any questions immediately told me to fetch a new one keep up the good work will recommend to anyone

My gas geyser no longer spark after 4 months, what can be the issue
My gas geyser no longer spark after 4 months, what can be the issue
This battery runs my lights, TV and decoder, Computer and monitor, speakers, internet, blender and all the other small draw items in my caravan. In 2 years I've had no problems and I'm happy. It's lying on the floor under the bed and being a LifePO I'm confident that it can't burst into flame and I sleep very well.
I'm traveling around southern Africa in the caravan and this is a very helpful power source, coupled with a 3000 watt inverter.
I do all my cooking on gas and stay in caravan parks which have electricity available, so I charge the battery through the inverter from the mains. Solar panels are big and clumsy to carry around - the smaller roll-up panels are not very efficient.
Received in time, installed and working very well.
As we were looking to purchase an inverter and a battery ,we were greeted via telephone, the salesperson was friendly and respectful,and helped us with all the info we required ,sent our invoice and payment was made...our tracking number has been recieved ....we will be dealing with The Solar Step again...thank your for the great service..
Thank you for the good service and speedy delivery.
Great value for money. This is the 3rd one we have fitted and they work great at half the price of the alternatives
