Great engineering, after sale responsiveness could be better
The design process for our remote, off-grid home was very thorough. After seeing lead-acid batteries were included, I asked for a change to LiFePO4 and they cheerfully re-designed the system to meet my request. We had a few iterations to get total cost down. Overall, very impressive, if perhaps not the cheapest, though the house if very remote and the design also included a large diesel generator. Responsiveness to after-sale queries and requests has been a minor problem, but eventually I've gotten the help I needed.Panel rating: 5/5

I chose Going Solar as they had a fantastic sales lady who first checked the roof and meter box. Then she explained different panels and inverters. Once she had finished she left information for me to read and emailed the quote. No pressure, time to decide, very detailed quote. Use of Australian mounting system. They have been in business for 35 years starting as a co-op. Miwa said they obtain all their work by word of mouth. Local in Carlton Vic they have a shop you can visit which sells sustainable products. For us solar was a choice made on sustainability and not just the hip pocket.8 months later we asked Carina: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Choose high quality panels it really does make a difference no matter what salesman day.it is not just a high quality inverter that makes the difference it is both that increase solar power production.16 September 2012

Philosophically I am right behind this sustainable push and we were determined to reduce our carbon footprint. I didn't go for the cheapest system but went for quality, 2.6kw. The company has been in the game for 30 years and has had a good name. Checked out the traps & pitfalls I gained through your site - really good. The installer was first class and went through components thoroughly. The roof here is not conventional and some said they couldn't do it after inspection, however we ended up with an experienced tradey and the job took longer than expected. The supplier went out of the way to accommodate us as we had a very tight time constraint -good business but nevertheless genuine after talking to the installer.17 months later we asked TREVOR: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Yes but my winter bill with AGL showed usage @ $247 & solar credits @ $220 but charged $24 GST - Interesting accounting. Keep well away from AGL. they play amazing delaying games in connecting to the grid.If you are in credit ask for the amount to be paid to you within 2 weeks as they expect you to pay when in debt -it works.

Only company that took into account possible shading problems at certain times of the year and suggested alternative site for panels.18 months later we asked Malcolm: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"
Better than expected and better than the calculated yield.05 June 2010
Worked well to provide a good solution to a complicated solar job.
Going Solar, with team leader Rushi Patel, did a great job for me at a reasonable price. Going Solar had installed 12 solar panels 7 yrs ago and I wanted more panels and a battery system. They were able to successfully integrate the two sets of panels with the battery. The battery also provides stand alone power if mains cuts out. I can charge the battery using midnight pricing, which is a good cost saving. The team were helpful, communicative and responsive and good at providing technical information. Highly recommended.Inverter rating: 5/5
