Professional Solar Panel Installers in Brandon, FL

The pricing on solar pool heaters depends upon the volume of water in your pool, as well as the type of roof on your home. Prices vary from $3,500 and up based on these factors. The other variable here is the room available on your roof, solar pool heating panels are 4 feet wide and vary from 8 to 12 feet in length. Our sales consultants will measure your roof dimensions on Google Maps before the appointment to give you a more accurate price.

Several different studies demonstrate that solar increases the resale of a home from 3% to 5%, in a non-recessionary housing market. This means that a standard solar array on a $300,000 home will increase the market value from $9,000 to $15,000. The rooftop solar arrays sold by Tampa Bay Solar typically last 30 to 40 years, and the payoff (ROI) on a standard system is 7 to 8 years. As plug in electric cars become more common the value of homes with photovoltaic solar will increase because electric car owners will be able to charge their vehicles at home without paying a high electric bill.

Photovoltaic panels have a 25-year warranty, so there is little to zero maintenance on a typical photovoltaic solar array. Dust and pollen might accumulate on rooftop panels, but the abundant rainfall here in Florida tends to mitigate this issue.

We recommend that you increase the replacement value of your home by the cost of the solar array after the tax credit. For instance, if you live in a $300,000 home and the solar array was $15,000 after the tax credit you can increase the replacement coverage to $315,000. A minor change like this might cost an extra $30 per year.

Withlachoochee River Electric Cooperative (also known as WREC) is an electric company that services customers in nine Florida counties just north of Tampa. Tampa Bay Solar has installed many residential solar arrays in the WREC footprint in Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties. Like most electric companies in Florida WREC is a net metering utility, which means that WREC customers can bank kilowatts with the utility and use that power at a later date. This is done via a bidirectional meter that is installed by WREC after your rooftop array has been installed and passed county inspection. WREC charges a $32 monthly connection fee that all customers have to pay, even if 100% of your energy comes from your solar array. The bidirectional meter is normally installed a few weeks after the solar array has passed county inspection, in some cases it has taken WREC longer than a month to install the bidirectional meter, but in 2019 they seem to have corrected this issue.
