Do I need Architectural Review approval for solar in The Villages?

Yes. Each Villages district requires approval from its Architectural Review Committee before any exterior change, and solar panels have their own section in the review manual. Florida law protects your right to install solar, but the committee can review placement and appearance. Your installer submits the application with the plans, and we help make sure nothing holds it up.

I’m on a fixed income. How does solar fit my budget?

Solar can make your power costs easier to plan. You can pay upfront and lower your bills from day one, or choose a fixed monthly payment that’s often close to what you’d save. Either way, you’re not as exposed to future rate increases. See ways to pay for solar and find what fits your budget.

Can I add a battery later?

Yes. Many homeowners start with panels and add a battery a few years later. To keep that option open, ask for an inverter and electrical panel setup that’s battery ready, and leave wall space in the garage. Learn more about a solar battery built for hurricane season.

Why Homeowners in Sumter County Consider Solar

Take On the Summer AC BillYour AC works hardest on hot, sunny afternoons, which is exactly when panels make the most power. Here's how solar lowers air conditioning costs.

Keep More of the Power You MakeMost Sumter homes are on SECO Energy, which pays less for extra power than it charges you. A solar battery lets you store that extra power for the evening instead of sending it to the grid.

Be Ready When Storms HitAfter Hurricane Irma, more than 100,000 SECO members across the region lost power. Weigh a solar battery vs. a generator to keep your essentials running.
