Installing a solar energy system on your property saves you money on your electricity bills while also protecting you against rising electricity rates. How much you can save varies from person to person, but choosing to invest in solar is a smart decision in every case.
Absolutely! Going solar provides many environmental and health benefits. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions helps lower the impact of climate change and produces fewer air pollutants. Fewer air pollutants mean fewer possible health complications, and an overall healthier you!

Not by themselves. A standard grid-tied solar system automatically shuts off during a power outage — that's a safety requirement, so utility crews aren't working on lines a homeowner is accidentally feeding power into. If you want your home to keep running when the grid goes down, you need battery storage paired with your system. We can add that at install or later on.
Most likely, yes, though usually a much smaller one. Nearly every residential system stays connected to the grid, and utilities typically charge a minimum connection fee plus a true-up for any power you pull at night or on low-production days. Going solar dramatically lowers your bill, in most cases, but "zero bill forever" isn't a realistic promise from anyone.
Incentives and tax rules change and depend on your personal situation, so that's a question for your accountant or tax professional, not your solar contractor. We're happy to point you toward resources, but we won't quote you a specific tax benefit as part of a sales pitch.
A properly engineered, properly installed system shouldn't damage your roof. If your roof does need to be replaced down the road, panels have to come off and go back on correctly — that's a real job, and it's exactly why we offer solar panel removal and reinstall as its own service, done by people who know how to do it without damaging your system or your new roof.
Yes — output drops on an overcast day, but panels keep generating power any time there's daylight. Florida gets plenty of sun overall, and a properly sized system accounts for the occasional cloudy stretch rather than assuming every day is a clear one.
No — this is Florida. Pools and solar hot water systems run and get serviced year-round here, not on a seasonal open/close schedule. Ongoing care (flow, pressure, valves, panel condition, and — for hot water systems — the tank, anode rod, and freeze protection during a cold snap) is what actually keeps these systems running well.
Not necessarily. Equipment quality, workmanship, and whether the company will still be around in five or ten years matter as much as the number on the quote. We've serviced a lot of systems installed by companies that later went out of business, leaving homeowners with no one to call — price is one factor, but it shouldn't be the only one.
Unfortunately this happens a lot in this industry, and it's more common than most homeowners expect. You don't have to be stuck — AllSolar Energy services and repairs solar systems we didn't originally install, including systems left behind by companies that have closed. Reach out and we'll take a look.
