Highly recommend Goliath Solar and Electrical
I recently retired following 38 years working in the electricity industry in SA and I was delighted to have Goliath Solar installed my solar system.Goliath Solar is a highly professional and experienced company in the solar sector. Top marks for their communications skills.
Ben from sales/quoting was honest and knowledgeable. He kept me informed from start to finish and made the whole process effortless and enjoyable. Ben organised everything from quoting, grid connection, government rebate and installation.
Sam and the installation team were punctual, polite tidy and skillful. It was a pleasure to have the team working on site. They kept us informed throughout the day and finished the job on time. We appreciated their attention to detail. They did a fantastic job.
I’m extremely impressed with their after sales service which highlights their dedication and commitment towards their products and customers.

Hassle Free Solar Install
The entire Goliath team were incredibly easy to deal with throughout the entire process. Daniel made the decision to sign with Goliath over others an easy choice. He was generous with his time and knowledge to ensure I was well-informed without ever feeling like I was being 'sold' something. The Installers and lead sparky, Jordy, were equally as efficient and pleasant, with the entire system up and running to take advantage of some late afternoon production. Thank you Goliath Solar and Electrical!16 November 2023
Great communications and a professional install process
Excellent communication through the quoting process and subsequently through the install.Great team of tradies on the day, noting that they are employees rather than subcontractors.

Goliath solar - highly recommend!!
Would highly recommend Goliath. We dealt with Ben, who answered all of our questions, of which we had many. The install team arrived on time, left the site clean and got the job done in one day. The whole process was smooth and it has been a pleasure to deal with Goliath and Ben, with no sales pressure and professionalism right from the first phone call for a quote. Thanks so much for setting us up with a system that sees us utilising the sun to power our home!! Fabulous customer service .Panel rating: 5/5

Efficient and Professional
I found interactions with Goliath to be very professional. Technology used extensively for communications which made it easy to keep track. All my questions were answered and I felt I wasn't wasting anyone's time. The installation team were fabulous. They arrived on time, were friendly, easy to talk to and most importantly cleaned up after themselves. Once installed Goliath discussed retailer options for best tariffs. With the pace of change in technology I had mid tier flagship panels installed. I installed a large system with a view to adding batteries within 12 months. Will be reaching out to Goliath when ready for batteries.14 November 2023
Highly recommended installer
My initial system was installed by Goliath 5 or so years ago, and I had no hesitation going back to them. Tom is still the point of contact and had a design and quote for a significant upgrade and battery in no time. All regulatory issues were handled by Goliath. Installation was quick and professional, with no mess. The team were polite and respectful, the system is exactly what I was looking for, and worked perfectly immediately.Highly recommended.

When only the best will do!
From the outside Goliath were nothing short of amazing, presenting me with the facts and advice pertinent to the nuances with my install. This was particularly important in my case due to some complex shading issues present on my roof. Goliath's install was extremely tidy, which was especially important to me due to how particular I am about things. After the install, Goliath have followed up numerous times to confirm I have been happy with things to date and to check-in on how the system has been performing. If you're in Adelaide - Goliath should be at the top of your list of installers to get in touch with!Panel rating: 5/5

Fantastic business
Goliath has obviously developed an excellent business model as reflected in all aspects of their service.After an initial phone call Daniel organised several face to face meetings (my preference) to deliver the information in relation to Solar Power.
The presentations were professional and he was open to the many questions relation to this new technology and how it functioned. The questions were answered succinctly indicating a sound knowledge base.
Time was given to digest the information for the best outcome including several diagrams for the most productive layout suited to the house.
Installation:
The team was punctual and very focussed with the installation on the roof and inverter. Efficiency, professionalism and good manners were continually reflected during the day.
All packaging and rubbish was removed and the worksite left spotless.
The App is amazing and is very informative and updates very quickly depending on what appliance is in usage.
Excellent customer service, a credit to the Trades and a job well done!!
Highly recommended

Outstanding service
I would normally obtain at least 2 quotes for any job or service that I am considering at home but a family member had asked a friend about solar installation. This friend was forensic when looking into companies and was convinced that Goliath were by far the best in Adelaide. The family member was confident to use Goliath 5 years ago for solar and was completely happy with their service and products. I contacted Daniel at Goliath Solar who talked me through every aspect clearly, send emails with full information and satellite pictures of my property showing the positioning of the panels. I was so confident in Goliaths ability that I did not peruse any other quotes.The installation worked like clockwork, the job was punctual and everything was left clean and tidy . Further contact was made with Daniel who discussed the best energy companies to consider for future supply of electricity and feed in of power.
This was one of the easiest and best managed of any project I have conducted in many decades.

Exceptional Service
Absolutely professional service from start to finish. Very impressed with the level of customer communication during the whole process. Comprehensive information was provided at all times from initial quote right through to installation and final commissioning. We received excellent service from all team members including sales, admin and the installers. Very impressed with the high level of customer service, attention to detail, promptness, politeness and overall professionalism. We are extremely happy with the system installed and would not hesitate to recommend Goliath Solar and Electrical to others looking to undertake their own solar journey.18 October 2023

Solar and car charger installation
Goliath did a great job with the solar installation at my previous house so I had no hesitation in contacting them when we moved into our new place.My latest experience with Goliath was equally as impressive as my first, right from the the quoting and advice from Ben down to the efficient, professional and tidy installation on the day.
in addition to solar installation we also had a Fronius WattPilot Go 22w EV charger installed and I'm pleased to say it is working perfectly and the smart feature that allows us to charge with excess solar means we are making most of the energy that we generate rather than selling it to the grid at a trivial price.
I can confidently recommend Goliath to provide a high quality solar and EV charger installation.

Solar install
First thank you for all the information on your web sight, helped work out what I needed.I went with Goliath Solar and Electrical because the Sales person listened to what I wanted and filled in any gaps I may have over looked.
At no time was there any pressure to purchase the system. I found the follow up meeting a breath of fresh air, good old fashion customer service.
All questions were answered and also I could go and do more research on any information that was passed on to me.
The sparky that came and done the site inspection was polite and gave me the time to answer any questions I had.
The install occurs in 4 days time so I feel all should go well.

On this occasion you will not need to obtain a second quote
Normally it is prudent to obtain 2 or 3 quotes when making a large investment, but from our experience there is really no need when buying from Goliath Solar and Electrical, unless of course you want to see what poor offerings competitors come up with.Goliath are upfront with their pricing and it is readily available on their website. Not only do they provide quality, they provide affordable quality. From Sales to Installers, staff are friendly and helpful. We signed up with them in May 2023 but had to wait until handover of our new house. Installation was done on 4 September 2023.
The job was completed within a day and the place left so tidy you wouldn't know anyone had been. While you may not be so lucky, for our installation we had one of the owners working as a labourer! Chris Pezzanite worked on the roof and let the installing electrician Sam do the work on the ground.

Fantastic service.
The quality of Goliath service is fantastic. Daniel was our consultant and we were particularly impressed with both lead up and follow up support when we had questions, and also the guidance provided when we were selecting a new energy provider.THe installation team were efficient, friendly and cooperative and their work was extremely neat and professional.
We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Five star service!

Great customer service, quality installation, fantastic local team
From the initial phone call, through to quoting, removal of the old system and installation of the new, I have been very happy and impressed with Goliath.The quoting process was simple, positive and professional. There was an initial phone call with Ben who went through what we wanted/expected from the new system. This was followed up with another phone call once the official quote had been received.
The removal of the failed existing system was quick and clean, taking everything away with them.
The installation of the new system was done reasonably quickly (given some unavoidable weather delays) and on the day the installation boys were professional, courteous and tidy. There was then a follow up phone call from Ben asking how the install went and explained how to use the associated monitoring app.
All in all I am very happy with the whole process and would defiantly recommend Goliath.

Very happy with Goliath Solar. Their knowledge of Solar was exceptional, installation went very smoothly and the service was exceptional.01 September 2023
Good Service!
We had Goliath Solar install solar panels on our home a month ago, and we are very happy with the results. The sales process was very smooth and easy, thanks to Daniel who was very knowledgeable and helpful. He took the time to understand our needs and goals, and he made sure that we got the right system.The installation process was also very smooth. The installers arrived on time and worked efficiently.
The customer service has been excellent. I have had a few questions since the installation, and Goliath Solar has been quick to respond and helpful. I would recommend Goliath Solar to anyone looking to install solar.

Great company to deal with
Excellent customer service - Always arrived at allocated time for quote, feedback phone calls and installation.Great communication skills - we were regularly updated on the process from initial quote to post installation feedback.
Installers were prompt, polite and kept us informed during the day. Left absolutely no mess to clean up at all after they had finished. Helped up through set up of the app and explained how to use it.
Installation of panels on roof and of the inverter are neat, very happy with the appearance.
Daniel E has been helpful, patient and very clear in explaining everything to us both before and after installation. We feel very comfortable contacting the company should we have any queries going forward.
Very happy to recommend a compnay that consistently delivered service above and beyond our expectations.

A great experience!
System and associated benefits were fully explained. All information provided was accurate and communicated clearly. A fully detailed quote was received in a timely manner.Installation date was arranged to suit our requirements. The installers arrived on time and carried out their work with a minimum of inconvenience to ourselves. They were polite and respectful of our property, and kept us informed of any temporary disruptions to our power supply. They tidied up after themselves and took all their rubbish with them.
Excellent customer service thoughout the process. Grid connection was organised for us.
Would highly recommend Goliath Solar & Electrical to anybody looking to install a solar system.

First class solar installer
Quotation process was honest, detailed, accurate, and helpful.For those who dive deeply into the technical side (like me!) they understand the myriad complexities and have sound reason for using, and years of experience with, the range of products they offer and recommend.
Installation was professional, friendly, and trouble free. They use all their own technicians. No sub-contractors.
After sales they remain engaged to ensure the system is working well and that you are satisfied. Can recommend electrical retailers for your specific energy usage to maximise savings.
All of this is a cut-above for solar installers in my experience. Even considering all of that, their price was super competitive.
Simply outstanding. Highest of recommendations!!!

Good value for money, attention to detail & quality installation
Had 11.14kw system installed with Trina panels and Solaredge inverter.Tom from Goliath explained the system and options very clearly during the sales process. I was very happy with the upfront nature of many of the comms and that a site check was standard process/requirement before signing contract or making any deposit. Installation team punctual, polite and did a tidy job. Comms have been good from initial contact through to post installation. System working well so far!
16 August 2023
Excellent the whole way through.
From the start Tom was extremely respectful and professional, this was the reason i chose Goliath. Smooth install and even smoother follow up to check things were in working order.Would recommend Tom and Goliath to absolutely everyone.
13 August 2023
Good and reliable
2 of the companies I got from Solar Quotes wanted to use panels that were not shown on the reccommended table and appeared to be new Chinese ones, therefore difficult to be able to know if they would be good or not.The other company representative was good and came to the house to provide a quote and explain it all through. Unfortunately, they were more expensive than the company we went with in the end - Goliath.
Goliath were highly reccommended on the Solar Quotes site and aldo through other social media groups I belong to.
Tom was good to deal with and fully explained the process and the pros and cons. After some discussion he altered the proposed layout to fit with what I preferred.
Fitting was just over a month from the agreement and the guys on the day seemed to do a great job. They were here on time and worked solidly through the day.
I would reccommend their service.
10 August 2023
Perfect, No Hassel from start to finish!
Was such an easy process, safe and reliable company to go through.No stuffing around, phone calls were always on selected times, installation process was fast and easy.
Second time using Tom and Goliath and would use again if needed.

Goliath Solar and Electrical did a great job of installing our solar panels. They were not pushy and were honest in answering all our questions. They also did a great job of explaining every step of the process, and provided quality panels and inverter at a competitive price.

From our initial enquiries through to the installation of our solar panels, the Goliath team provided excellent communication and had a highly professional approach to their work.Installation was able to be done faster than we expected, and the workmen were polite and extremely tidy.
Goliath even helped organise the grid connection after the installation.
It was an easy transition from start to finish. We were very impressed with their service.

Storm day installation
Tom and his team of installers went above and beyond. Such a professional crew, made the whole process very easy. Every contact was on time even on the day of installation they arrived amid the thunder and lightening, Installed the inverter in the garage then waited for the heavens to clear before completing the panels, Left the work site clean and stayed to help me with installing the app on my phone. Totally recommend this company.
