Frequently Asked Questions

• Who can help me compare solar companies in Florida without the pressure?

  That’s exactly what we do. Solar Near Me is a solar broker based in Orlando, Florida. We gather written quotes from several licensed installers, lay them side by side and explain the differences in plain words. No door knocking, no same-day signing, and if solar doesn’t make sense for your home, we’ll tell you.

• How do I know if a solar installer is actually vetted and trustworthy?

  Look up their Florida contractor license on the state’s MyFloridaLicense website, ask how many years they’ve been installing in Florida, read recent reviews and get every warranty in writing. Walk away from anyone pushing you to sign that day, promising a free system or claiming to work for your utility. Here’s how to spot a solar scam before you meet with anyone.

• How can I rely less on Duke Energy or FPL?

  Make more of your own power. Solar panels produce the most during the day, when your AC works hardest, so you buy less from the utility. A battery stores extra power for the evening and for outages. You’ll stay connected to the grid and still get a small monthly bill, but a system sized to your home can cover most of what you use.

• Why use a solar broker instead of calling one solar company?

  A single installer can only offer its own price and equipment. We collect offers from several licensed installers and show them side by side, so you see the real market before you commit.

• How much does solar cost in Florida now that the federal tax credit is gone?

  It depends on your roof, how much power you use and how you pay. The 30% federal credit for homeowner-owned systems ended after 2025, but Florida still exempts solar from sales tax and from property tax on the value it adds to your home. Comparing several written quotes is the surest way to know your real price. See what solar panels cost in Florida.

• Should I lease solar panels or own them?

  Owning, with cash or a loan, usually saves the most over time and keeps selling your home simple. A lease or prepaid lease can cost less upfront and may still pass some federal savings on to you, but read the yearly price increase, the contract length and the transfer rules before you sign. Compare ways to pay for solar side by side.

• What happens to my solar panels if I sell my house?

  Panels you own stay with the house and usually add value, and Florida doesn’t raise your property tax for them. A solar loan is usually paid off at closing. A lease has to be taken over by the buyer, and some buyers don’t want one, so ask how a transfer works before you sign anything.

• Will my home insurance cover solar panels in Florida?

  Many policies do, but not all. Call your insurance company before you sign, ask whether the panels are covered as part of your home and whether your premium will change, and ask how your roof’s age affects coverage. Some Florida insurers want an older roof replaced before they’ll cover panels.

• Should I replace my roof or AC before going solar?

  If your roof has less than about 10 years left, it usually makes sense to replace it first, since taking panels off and putting them back later adds cost. An old AC also wastes the power your panels make. Solar Near Me handles roofing and HVAC too, so we can quote everything together and plan it in the right order.

• Can a battery keep my AC running when the power goes out?

  Yes, if the battery is big enough. Central AC pulls a lot of power, especially when it starts, so it may take more than one battery or a setup that backs up only your essentials. We size the battery to what you actually want running during an outage.

• Can I add a battery to the solar panels I already have?

  In many cases, yes. It depends on your inverter, your electrical setup and the battery you choose. We can check your current system and show you which batteries work with it.

• Will solar get rid of my electric bill completely?

  Usually not. You’ll still pay your utility’s monthly customer charge or minimum bill, and you’ll buy some power on cloudy stretches. But a well sized system can cut most of what you pay for electricity and protects you from future rate increases on the power you make.
