Solar panels (photovoltaic or PV cells) on your roof convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts this into the alternating current (AC) electricity that powers your home. Any excess energy you produce is typically sent back to the grid, often earning you credit from your utility company—a process called net metering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Standard grid-tied systems shut off during a blackout for safety. To have power during an outage, you need a system with battery backup. We specialize in installing these integrated systems, which provide essential power and are a critical consideration for Florida homeowners, especially during hurricane season.
Yes. While they are most efficient in direct sunlight, modern panels still produce energy on cloudy or rainy days. Florida's high average of sunny days makes it one of the best states for solar energy production year-round.
We offer several paths: Purchase: Own your system outright for maximum long-term savings. Finance: Use a solar loan to own the system with little to no money down, often with a monthly payment lower than your current electric bill. We do not offer leases or PPAs. We believe in helping you own your power and maximize your investment.
Absolutely. A properly sized system is designed to offset a significant portion, if not all, of your electricity consumption from the utility. This turns a variable monthly expense into a predictable, stable cost, protecting you from rising utility rates for decades.
Most roofs in Florida are suitable. We conduct a thorough assessment of your roof's material (tile, metal, shingle, or flat), condition, and sun exposure. If your roof needs replacement soon, we can coordinate the project with our trusted roofing partners or your chosen contractor to ensure a seamless process.
From signed agreement to system activation, the process typically takes 8 to 12 weeks. This timeline includes engineering design, securing permits from your local municipality and utility company, the physical installation (which usually takes 1-3 days), and final inspections.
Studies show that homes with owned solar systems sell faster and at a premium. A solar system is a valuable home upgrade. We'll provide all the documentation you need to easily transfer the system warranty to the new homeowners.
Solar systems require very little maintenance. Occasional rinsing with a garden hose to remove dust or pollen is usually sufficient. We also offer annual maintenance plans that include professional inspection, cleaning, and performance reporting to ensure your system operates at peak efficiency.
