Services
Solar Pool Heaters
Our solar pool heaters extend swimming seasons without increasing operating costs. These systems use solar thermal technology to maintain optimal water temperatures while requiring minimal maintenance. Customers benefit from non-polluting operation, increased home value, and energy savings of up to 80% compared to traditional heating methods.
Solar Tubular Lights
These precision-engineered skylights deliver natural daylight into interior spaces through reflective tubing systems. The low-profile acrylic domes withstand extreme weather conditions while providing maintenance-free illumination. Homeowners receive a limited lifetime warranty and reduced electricity consumption for lighting.
Solar Attic Fans
Our solar-powered attic ventilation systems reduce cooling costs and prolong roof lifespan. The fans operate silently using solar energy to expel hot air from attics, garages, and workshops. This passive cooling solution lowers HVAC strain and maintains structural integrity in Florida's climate.
Solar Electric
We install grid-tied and battery-backed solar electric systems for residential and commercial properties. These photovoltaic solutions reduce utility bills through net metering while qualifying for 30% federal tax credits. Our systems feature hurricane-resistant mounting and 25-year performance warranties.
Commercial Solar Systems
Our commercial installations lower operational costs while enhancing sustainability credentials. Businesses benefit from tax incentives, increased property value, and reduced carbon footprint. We design scalable systems tailored to specific energy consumption patterns and roof configurations.
Questions
What tax incentives are available for solar installations?
Homeowners qualify for a 30% federal tax credit on qualifying solar systems. We help clients navigate eligibility requirements and maximize savings.
How long does a solar pool heater installation take?
Most installations complete within 2.5-4 hours. Our two-person crews work efficiently while ensuring proper system integration and testing.
Do solar tubular lights require maintenance?
Our systems include limited lifetime warranties and require no maintenance. The sealed acrylic domes and reflective tubing resist weather damage and degradation.
Can solar panels withstand Florida hurricanes?
Yes. Our hurricane-tested systems survived Hurricane Irma with zero panel damage. We use reinforced mounting structures meeting local building codes.
What commercial solar benefits exist beyond cost savings?
Businesses gain marketing advantages through sustainability claims, qualify for green energy certifications, and demonstrate corporate social responsibility.
How do solar attic fans reduce energy costs?
By expelling hot air from attics, these fans reduce HVAC workload by up to 30%, lowering cooling costs while extending roof lifespan.

Report
We were referred to this company, and for good reason. Rick was our salesman and he was friendly and professional from the start. When we ran into problems with the roofing company he always has a solution. Dealing with the office staff was just as pleasant. When the guys came to install our solar for the pool heat, the men were very professional, friendly and very knowledgeable about the product. It was a stress free experience and We will be referring them to others.

Report
Have been very pleased with process from sales presentation, to purchase, through installation. Very happy with performance for first week. Only item preventing a 5 star rating is company did not communicate they would not be installing a digital controller due to supply issues. After I followed up, they advised the installed controller would be replaced with the digital controller when the inventory is available.

I had this company install solar pool heater panels for my pool. They did a great job! They arrived on time, got everything installed efficiently, and gave me an extensive walkthrough on settings and operations of the system. The heating panels work fine and are keeping my pool nice and warm. I would strongly recommend Solar Lights and More!
