Grid-interactive solar needs battery backup during low solar output. Compatible batteries offer uninterrupted power solutions.

Solar panels and a heat pump can efficiently heat a pool, saving money and reducing carbon footprint.

Solar panels warm your pool economically all year, providing comfortable water temperature as it passes through, without added costs.

The EcoFlow Ocean Pro has impressive specs and looks great on a wall. So why won’t we install it? A NABCEP-certified solar contractor’s honest take on why serious solar pros are sitting this one out.

FPL’s budget billing program is designed to smooth out your electric bill across twelve months by averaging your usage. It’s a comfortable program if you have a predictable consumption pattern.

An email arrived from FPL this week for one of our clients. “You may now begin operating your private solar system.” Those words are the finish line on a process

New house plans landed in my inbox this week (like most weeks). The homeowner is building from scratch and wants a grid-interactive solar and battery system designed in before the

A homeowner called me last week and opened with something I hear more often than I should: “I signed a contract three days ago and I’m already not sure what

Most people buying solar for the first time spend their energy comparing panel brands and asking about warranties. The decision that actually shapes your system’s long-term capability gets almost no

You installed solar to gain energy independence. So why does your Enphase system shut down every time the grid goes out, just like every house on the block that never

A customer sent me a solar panel comparison this week. He had built it using an AI chatbot as his research tool (it was pretty obvious). The chatbot named a
I stared this project as replacement for solar pool heater panels and ended with 27 solar panels and couldn’t be happier. We approached Florida Solar Design Group as I had... ... liked working with Dominick at his prior firm and trusted his advice. Absolutely no pressure, very educational all the way. Their proposal was more professional and transparent compared to the other proposals I had received. After a lot of research a few changes and a very patient sales team, we had a deal. I felt the best price from the most professional company. Every step of the way, FSDG performed as they said they would a head of schedule all done in the most professional way. That would be thanks to Susan!. Even FPL and Collier county performed ahead of all expectations and I was fully operational and productive a month and half a head off when I would have anticipated. No common supply chain issues or regulatory issues we have come to expect. The product looks better on the house than I expected and Jason was involved during the installation and personally trained me on the system that day when the install was done. I have waited a month to write a review because I kept waiting for something to go wrong. To date, I could not be happier and I recommend Florida Solar Design Group as the best contractor I ever worked with for any project. One last piece of advise, make sure you with a firm that has experience working with the county and electric company where you live, I believe that familiarity made my installation virtually seamless between the three entities.
Florida Solar group was so easy and professional to work with. We enjoyed the experience
Our neighbors had ADT put in their solar panels months before us and they are still not up and running. Our system is working great! Jason and Dominick... ... are badass...
Great system, and great people who continue to respond in a timely manner to all questions.
FSDG went above and beyond the call of duty to diagnose and correct major safety problems that were caused by our original installer. (they not only incorrectly installed but... ... then they refused to fix safety issues since they said "it passed inspection"). WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR FSDG. THEY MAY HAVE SAVED OUR LIVES!
These guys are the best of the best. My battery install came out clean and professional. They even corrected all of the issues the original installer created. Overall, great price... ... with amazing installers. Can't go wrong.
Florida Solar Design Group was selected as the installer for the SWFL solar co-op. They had a great package. They weren't pushy at all. Answered all my questions.... ... When I finally decided to move forward, installation was quick and easy. They handled everything!
Florida Solar Design Group was fabulous - they really know the business and provided great customer relations. Very professional, responsive and guided me throughout the process. The only... ... hitch was interacting FPL, but that was due to FPL's user unfriendly website. Very happy with the system, which seems to be functioning well. Cannot recommend highly enough.
The Florida Solar Design Group installed our rooftop solar system to power our new headquarters building. Their staff were very helpful, courteous, and professional.

The team were all dialed in. Prompt service and accurate timeline. Best price around. Very highly recommended.
Super company! The customer service couldn't have been better. They made everything run smoothly and were very responsive to any of our questions.
This company is the best....I sent a message thru their website on a Saturday because I needed a new valve actuator installed. Jason called me back within 15 minutes (never... ... expected that) and told me he was in my area and could be here in 10 minutes. He came and installed the valve and my solar is up and running. That was the greatest thing that happened to me since the hurricane. Incredible customer service.
From the start FDG was a company I knew I wanted to work with. Even with a delay on my part because of the hurricane the job went smoothly from... ... start to finish. I can't say enough good things about Jason and his crew.
We are extremely happy with our complete dealings with Florida Solar Design Group. From the initial contact to the completed job (with Lee County electrical inspection, passed first time... ... with no issues). Definitely a first rate contractor. Do not hesitate to consider this company for your solar system installation.
