Solar Panel Installation
We design and install custom solar panel systems for homes and businesses. Our process includes site assessment, system sizing, and permitting assistance. With Enphase microinverters and premium panels, we ensure maximum energy production and system longevity. Our installations include comprehensive monitoring for optimal performance tracking.
Battery Backup Systems
Our Enphase IQ battery solutions provide reliable backup power during outages. Systems automatically store excess solar energy for nighttime use or emergencies. We handle complete integration with existing solar arrays, including grid-forming technology for hurricane season protection. Installation includes smart app monitoring for energy management.
Commercial Solar Solutions
We specialize in large-scale solar projects for commercial properties and municipal facilities. Our team designs systems to meet specific energy demands while maximizing tax incentives. Services include electrical infrastructure upgrades, net metering setup, and long-term maintenance planning. We've completed installations for government buildings and critical infrastructure.
Enphase Microinverter Systems
We exclusively use Enphase IQ microinverters for superior system performance. Each panel receives individual optimization for maximum output in shaded conditions. Our installations include automatic software updates and real-time monitoring. The grid-forming technology ensures power continuity during grid failures, unlike traditional string inverters.
Solar Maintenance Services
We provide comprehensive maintenance for existing solar systems. Our monitoring platform detects issues proactively, including panel obstructions or component failures. Services include performance diagnostics, cleaning recommendations, and warranty-covered repairs. We support both Enphase and non-Enphase systems with our 30-year labor guarantee.

Questions
How long does solar installation take?
The physical installation typically completes in one day. Permitting and inspections usually require 30-45 days after contract signing.
Do solar systems require maintenance?
Enphase systems have no routine maintenance. Monitoring alerts notify owners and our team of any issues like panel obstructions or rare component failures.
Can solar panels work during power outages?
Standard systems require grid connection. With Enphase Ensemble technology and battery storage, your system can operate independently during outages.
How do solar panels affect home value?
Solar installations typically increase property values while reducing electricity costs through energy savings and net metering benefits.
What solar warranties do you offer?
We provide a 30-year labor warranty. Enphase products include 10-25 year equipment warranties with optional extensions for battery systems.
Which solar panels do you recommend?
We use LG panels with Enphase microinverters after testing 26 models. Our selection balances efficiency, durability, and performance in Florida's climate conditions.
