CLIENT testimonials

The storm season of 2019-20 was particularly difficult, SkyX was very diligent to take appropriate safety measures as each storm approached and to communicate to keep us, the Customer, well informed and confident that we would not suffer any damage. The installation situation and degree of difficulty, was further exacerbated by the onset of the Covid pandemic. Which bought with it a series of travel restrictions and other measures that made the installation and commissioning of the system even more difficult. Nevertheless, SkyX completed everything in accordance with their contractual undertaking. I have no hesitation in commending SkyX a professional contractor and service provider of the highest standard.
Hoi An South Development LTD

The negotiations of the PPA agreement was made in a transparent way. We experienced a safe and professional installation phase in accordance with international standards. I would be pleased to recommend SkyX Solar as a strategic supplier for solar energy solutions.
