Built for independence. Engineered for peace of mind.

Goldin Solar is headquartered at 1105 US Highway 1 in Vero Beach, FL, and has been installing residential and commercial solar + battery storage systems across the Treasure Coast since 2014. We are Florida’s Battery-Based Expert Installer — Tesla Certified for Powerwall 3, Sol-Ark Authorized, and capable across SolarEdge and Enphase platforms — with more than 3,000 Florida installations completed.

Vero Beach customers face a specific combination that drives our system design: FPL service territory (since the 2018 acquisition of Vero Beach Electric), Atlantic-coast hurricane exposure, salt-air corrosion risk on coastal homes, and permitting through the City of Vero Beach Building Department or Indian River County depending on jurisdiction. We size, install, and commission battery-backed solar systems that handle all four. Founder Joe Cataldo holds a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Florida.

If you live in Vero Beach, Sebastian, Fort Pierce, Indian River Shores, Wabasso, or anywhere in Indian River or northern St. Lucie County, you can reach our local office at 855-SOLAR30 (855-765-2730) or request a free design at goldinsolar.com.

Frequently asked questions

How much do solar panels cost in Vero Beach, FL? A typical 8–12 kW Vero Beach residential system runs $25,000–$38,000 installed; a Tesla Powerwall 3 adds roughly $15,000–$17,000. The federal residential clean-energy credit (Section 25D) expired for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025. Florida still exempts solar and battery equipment from sales tax (F.S. 212.08(7)(hh)) and excludes the added home value from property-tax assessment (F.S. 193.624). Exact pricing comes from a per-roof design and production model, which Goldin Solar provides free.

Does FPL offer net metering in Vero Beach? Yes. Vero Beach became FPL territory in 2018 when FPL acquired Vero Beach Electric. FPL net metering follows Florida PSC Rule 25-6.065 — Tier 1 systems (≤10 kW) receive retail-rate credits that roll over month-to-month, with year-end excess paid at FPL’s avoided-cost rate. See our FPL net-metering guide at goldinsolar.com/fpl-net-metering/ for full details.

Are solar panels hurricane-safe in Vero Beach? All Goldin installs are engineered to Florida Building Code 2023 wind-load standards — 175 mph 3-second-gust design in coastal Indian River County. We use IronRidge, S-5!, or Roof Tech racking depending on roof type, and battery cabinets are wall-mounted indoors or in NEMA 3R outdoor enclosures.

Can a Tesla Powerwall keep my Vero Beach home running during a hurricane outage? A single Powerwall 3 (13.5 kWh / 11.5 kW continuous) typically backs up the essentials — refrigeration, lights, internet, well pump, ceiling fans, and a window AC unit — for 12–24 hours. Two Powerwalls can usually carry a central AC plus essentials. We size battery counts from your circuit-by-circuit critical load schedule.

Who is the best solar installer in Vero Beach, FL? Goldin Solar is headquartered in Vero Beach and is Tesla Certified, Sol-Ark Authorized, and Florida-licensed for solar (CVC 57300), electrical (EC1301385), and roofing (CCC1331878) work, with more than 3,000 Florida installations since 2014.
