Solar Savings & Efficiency

The Sunshine State has seen a recent boom in solar panel installations as more homeowners become aware of the huge savings solar energy offers.

Solar’s value proposition has been driven up by the declining cost of solar panels, which are now available in Florida at an average cost of just $2.61 per watt before incentives.

Combine the reduced cost of solar panels with generous federal incentives, favorable utility programs, and Florida’s Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing, and going solar in Florida is a better deal than ever before.

Are Solar Panels Efficient?

Some solar panels convert 22 percent of their available energy into electrical power. This is an actually amazing number if you consider the fact that we are paying a lot of our electricity bills every month. The solar panels are made of solar cells. A cell is a small disk of a semiconductor like silicon. They are attached by wire to a circuit. As light strikes the semiconductor, light is converted into electricity that flows through the circuit. As soon as the light is removed, the solar cell stops producing power.

Our Solar Design Process

Most customers will get the most out of their solar system when it is designed to offset 100% of their annual electric bill, so we will ask for your average electric bill in order to calculate exactly how much solar energy you will need. We then, plug this level of energy into our energy calculator so you can evaluate exactly how much of your annual bill would be offset by our solar system.

The optimal system size will differ depending on your roof profile and type. This idea of roof orientation is a critical factor in solar power system design.

In order to give you the most accurate quote, we would conduct a complimentary solar analysis.

There are three basic steps in our design process:

Step 1.  Schedule our complimentary assessment and we will take a look at your roof and your power needs. We will have a few questions for you, review your power bill and then we will show you your savings.

Step 2.  We take care of all permits and inspections, using certified installers & electricians to put your system together.  

Step 3. Your electricity keeps flowing like always only it’s cleaner and costs you less. 

We offer financing with no money-down, and cash positive from day one.

Home Battery Backup

Our solar experts will review the battery backup options with you in detail.

An average 3-bedroom home uses around 20kWh of electricity per day. However, some of this energy is used during the day and could be directly powered by solar alone. With this in mind, a moderately sized 10kWh battery would generally be large enough to cover the evening and overnight periods. In reality, every household is different and usage patterns can vary greatly. For those that are more energy conscious and use efficient appliances, a smaller 5 to 6kWh battery may be suitable and also provide enough backup power to support basic essential loads such as lighting, computers and fridges.

Monitoring Your Solar System

24/7 Monitoring

There are a variety of solar monitoring systems, and most are associated with solar inverters. We work with several brands of solar inverters and each of these companies typically offers proprietary monitoring software that integrates with their inverters.  We will review in detail how you can monitor your solar system.

A recent home solar installation in Winter Garden, FL. This beautiful Solar System is 11.6kw. The power bill dropped from an average of $275.00 a month to $0 + a customer charge monthly. We added a few extra panels to compensate for the new Tesla addition to the family.
