Very professional installation and the energy production has been as advertised for the first year. However, 10 days ago the solar production went down to zero. I went onto the SolarEdge website and after a remote troubleshooting, SE said they opened a case because the inverter needs to be replaced. Somewhat frustrating to lose power.but stuff happens and that's what the warranties are for. We had a little glitch initially in contacting Goldin but since last week I have been called by the owner, Darrin Goldin, twice to assure me that a replacement inverter has been ordered and typically takes 2 to 3 weeks. Hopefully we'll be back to peak production and fully charged Powerwalls before hurricane season.
I will update this review as soon as the the system is back on line. Update 6/16/22 Goldin technician arrived this morning around 9 and had the new inverter up and running within a few hours. By 6 pm both Powerwalls are fully charged. Well done. Goldin! Mark O'Donnell Cocoa, FL

Love Goldin Solar! Love Having my System up and running. We got both solar panels and 2 Tesla Powerwalls. We interviewed about 5 other companies before we went with Goldin Solar. The sales team at Goldin was simply the BEST. All my questions were answered and I learned a lot about solar. We then went on to a Project manager who arranged on site evaluations and all sorts of permitting things. This is currently still a new idea for a lot of people, but going green with Goldin Solar is the best thing that we have done! I will recommend them to everyone!

Goldin Solar was very professional and responsive. They came out and surveyed the property and provided a proposal. They did the complete job in just a few days and cleaned up well after themselves. The panels have helped to reduce our electric bill and I would highly recommend them.

Best Solar Install group in South Florida. I installed with them over two years ago and the most knowledgeable and honest people around. Darin Goldin is the real deal, answers his phone and passionate about residential solar.

We are very pleased with the Goldin company! Troy, our main contact man has been great in helping us navigate through the installation process and beyond, finding answers to our questions every step of the way. All the techs are very courteous and professional! Mack Mical has gone above and beyond in making sure every connection and panel is perfect! He is very knowledgeable and available for any questions or concerns. We definitely recommend this company!

Since my previous post, Goldin Solar has been extremely responsive in fixing and rectify the situation. The CEO and managers called and spoke with my husband and I and we came to a great path forward, where Yesenia has been taking off our project. Our new project manager has reached out right away and provided next steps and timing. I am extremely hopeful that our new project manager will be a great experience. (Posted on Jan 25) The panel installation was awesome, just to establish that up front. However, I am extremely dissatisfied with the project management part. Yesenia was non-responsive and extremely difficult to work with.
We signed out contract on May 11, 2021. It is 9 months later, we only have the panels installed but no connection and no batteries. We have contacted her many times via emails and phone calls. crickets. no response at all. We tried to escalate, but only worked for a couple of weeks. then nothing again. We had been making all the payments on time, so that is not an issue. At this point, I just wanted our project to be completed! What do we need to do here?

I am writing this review due to the exceptional service we received from the electrician Luis Jurado. He was polite and courteous but that is expected from anyone you do business with. What made Luis "exceptional" was the way he took the time to explain things to us. I won't refer anyone unless Luis will be doing the work.
