2. Description of Service
GoSolar is an online marketplace that connects homeowners and businesses in South Africa with solar energy installers. We provide a platform for users to request quotes, compare installers, access solar calculators, and read educational content about solar energy.

4. Installer Listings
Solar installers listed on GoSolar are independent businesses.

Users are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence, verify credentials, and obtain written contracts before engaging any installer.
5. Limitation of Liability
GoSolar acts solely as an intermediary platform. To the maximum extent permitted by South African law, we shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of our platform or any transactions between users and installers. Calculator results and cost estimates are provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as financial advice.

All content on the GoSolar website, including text, graphics, logos, and software, is the property of GoSolar or its content suppliers and is protected by South African and international intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without prior written consent.
