What does Solar Near Me do?
Solar Near Me is a solar brokerage that helps homeowners find the right solar solution for their home. We compare options, provide expert guidance, and connect you with trusted installation partners throughout Florida.
How do I get started?
Getting started is easy. Simply schedule a free solar consultation, and we’ll review your home’s energy usage, evaluate your solar potential, and discuss your goals. From there, we’ll design a customized solution and walk you through your options so you can decide if solar is right for you; without any obligation.
How much can I save with Solar Near Me?
Savings depend on your home, electric bill, roof, utility provider, system design, weather, and agreement terms. Solar Near Me reviews your actual information before giving you a quote so the estimate is based on real details.
Can I go solar with no money down?
Many homeowners qualify for financing or lease options that require little to no upfront investment. Eligibility depends on the financing program and homeowner qualifications.
Will solar eliminate my electric bill?
In many cases, solar can greatly reduce your electric bill. However, utility fees, energy usage, and system size can impact your final monthly costs.
What is first-year savings protection?
If your agreement includes first-year savings protection, Solar Near Me reviews your savings in writing at month 12. If the agreed guarantee is not met, we refund the difference according to your agreement terms.
How do I know if my Florida home qualifies?
Most homes in Florida qualify for solar. Key factors include your roof’s condition, available sun exposure, amount of shading, and your average electricity usage. The best way to find out is through a free solar consultation, where we evaluate your home and provide a customized savings estimate.
Who installs the solar panels?
Solar Near Me partners with a network of licensed, insured, and NABCEP-certified installation companies. As your solar broker, we help match you with the right installation partner and oversee the process to ensure your system is professionally designed, permitted, installed, inspected, and activated by qualified industry experts.
How long does the installation process take?
Most solar installations take 1–3 days to complete. The full process, including design, permitting, approvals, and installation, typically takes 4–8 weeks.
Do I need a 25-year solar loan?
No. A 25-year solar loan is just one of several options available. Homeowners can choose from cash purchases, solar lease programs as well as subscription options depending on their budget and goals. During your consultation, we’ll review all available options and help you find the solution that best fits your home and financial needs.
What happens during a power outage?
Most grid-tied solar systems automatically shut down during an outage for safety reasons. Homes with battery backup systems may continue powering selected appliances or the entire home.
Should I add a battery with my solar system?
Batteries can provide backup power during outages and help maximize your energy independence. Whether a battery makes sense depends on your goals and budget.
Will solar damage my roof?
When installed correctly by qualified professionals, solar panels should not damage your roof. Proper installation methods are designed to protect your home’s structural integrity.
What warranties come with solar?
Warranty coverage varies by manufacturer and installer but often includes equipment warranties, performance warranties, and workmanship warranties.
What happens to my solar if I sell my home?
Solar can be a valuable selling feature for your home. In most cases, the new homeowner can enjoy the benefits of the solar system and lower energy costs. If you have a solar loan or lease, there are options to transfer the agreement or pay it off during the home sale process. We’ll help explain your options based on your specific situation.
