FAQs
What qualifications do your solar installation electricians in Ocoee hold?
All of our electricians are Florida-licensed journeyman or master electricians who have completed NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) PV Installation Professional certification. In addition, every team member undergoes OSHA 30 safety training and continuous manufacturer-specific training on the latest inverters, optimizers, and storage systems.
How long does a typical residential solar installation take from start to finish?
For a single-family home in Ocoee, the process usually spans 6–10 weeks. This includes the initial site assessment (1 week), system design and permitting (2–3 weeks, depending on Orange County approvals), equipment ordering and scheduling (1–2 weeks), on-site installation (1–3 days), utility inspection (3–7 days), and final interconnection to Duke Energy or OUC (up to 2 weeks). We manage every step and keep you updated through our customer portal.
Will a solar system work during power outages?
Standard grid-tied solar shuts off during an outage for safety reasons. If you want backup power, we can integrate battery storage (e.g., Tesla Powerwall or Enphase IQ Battery) or design a hybrid system with a critical-load sub-panel. This allows your solar array to power essential circuits when the grid is down. During your consultation, we’ll size the battery to meet your desired backup duration and budget.
What incentives are currently available for Ocoee homeowners who go solar?
As of 2024, you may qualify for the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on the entire installed cost. Florida also offers a 100% sales-tax exemption on solar equipment and a property-tax exclusion for the added home value. Duke Energy and OUC provide net metering, allowing you to earn full retail credit for surplus energy sent to the grid. We’ll supply the documentation needed to claim all incentives.
How do you ensure roof integrity and warranty protection during installation?
We use industry-standard flashed and sealed roof penetrations, backed by a 25-year manufacturer warranty on mounting hardware. Our in-house team includes licensed roofing specialists who inspect before and after installation. We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty that runs concurrently with any existing roof warranty, and we carry $2 million in general liability insurance for added peace of mind.
What ongoing maintenance or monitoring is required after installation?
Solar PV systems are largely maintenance-free. Your panels have no moving parts and are warrantied for 25–30 years. We include a cellular monitoring gateway that tracks production in real time and alerts us to any issues. Recommended care is an annual visual inspection and an optional panel rinse if dust or pollen buildup reduces output. We offer affordable maintenance plans starting at $149/year, which cover inspections, performance reports, and warranty management.
