This is my second sungold pv system…
This is my second sungold pv system installed. So obviously I am not unhappy. The first off grid cabin system has been working for about 18 months perfectly. The second was a full grid tie system on an island in the Caribbean. I was worried about shipping delicate electronics across the US and then by boat to Roatan so I purchased the insurance for boat transport. The packaging was so well done there was hardly the need. A 10 kw inverter and two of their 5kw wall mount batteries I installed in a concrete building attached to the house for a bit of fire protection. It would have cost more than the panels cost to ship to the island so we got those on island. These units are quite heavy so it takes two to wall mount. The instructions are good but technically complex so it may be better to hire an installer if you aren't handy with high voltage DC and have a modicum of common sense. The ordering and delivery went well but I haven't needed to get any customer service support yet so can't comment on that. So far everything works as advertised and now we have air conditioning made possible by this pv system. With the high cost of electricity on the island the system should pay for itself in only 3 years. I would by another system but I am out of places to put it.
