There is a phrase that gets thrown around constantly in the solar and battery storage world: “whole home backup.” It sounds like exactly what it means. Your battery covers the

Enphase quietly rolled out PowerMatch in late 2025, and I’ve been keeping an eye on it. It solves a real problem with how their batteries handle low loads. The catch

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.

Hoymiles just released the HiFlow Pro, the first plug-in solar microinverter in the United States certified to UL 3700. That is a real milestone, and I am glad it happened.

That 25-year warranty printed on your solar panel proposal is one of the biggest selling points in the whole pitch, and in practice, it is close to worthless. I have

If you own a Tesla Powerwall and your battery spends its nights discharging down to 20% while your solar panels spend their days refilling it, you are losing money. This

There is a story going around that FPL’s time-of-use rate is a money printer. The pitch is simple. Add a battery, buy power for almost nothing overnight, and stop paying
Working with FSDG was a pleasure. They were responsive, communicative and on-time throughout the process. The installed system went in without a hitch and is generating electricity at... ... the level that was promised. And all this with pricing that was less than any other estimates I received.
I highly recommend Fl. Solar design group.

After the initial... ... installation, it wasn’t “take the money and run”. I, of course, had more questions and the owner came to my home to go over all of it again. That’s a plus in my book. I highly recommend this company 100%
Great quality, informative company!
We recently moved into our forever home In Babcock Ranch and hired Florida Solar to design and install a solar system four our new home. Florida Solar took care... ... of the permitting including dealing with our fussy HOA's and scheduled the installation. Their communication was excellent. The installation took less than a day and by the time the crew left we were producing electricity. Now that we are hooked up to the grid we have been producing a little more power than we are using and that is running to AC's. I am very pleased with our solar panels through Florida Solar Design Group and would definitely recommend them to anyone considering going solar.
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.
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!
We are extremely happy with our complete dealings with Florida Solar Design Group.

Company did everything they said they would. They did it well and on time. I could not be happier
I am writing to highly recommend Florida Solar Design Group. My wife and I had a new system installed recently by another installer. It uses Enphase inverters and includes an... ... app to track system performance. We began to realize that the system probably wasn't performing correctly and reached out to our installer. Who ignored our repeated calls and emails. Over a frustrating few weeks we learned that our installer had cut corners. Looking for the best way forward, we contacted Florida Solar Design Group. Jason Szumlanski returned my initial call to their office within an hour or so. He is easy to talk to because he listens well and then responds clearly and directly to what he hears. He is intelligent, articulate and informative and his expertise became clear very quickly. After about 10 minutes of talking, Jason said that he was pretty confident that he understood the problem and the solution, and he said he would call me back soon. Within the hour, he called back and confirmed that he had been able to tweak our system remotely to correct the issue that we had identified. He then explained that we would be wise to have him look over the install to ensure that there were no other problems. He said that he would not charge for his time, only for materials that might be needed. We agreed (of course!) On site, Jason assured us that the installer had provided a good system, but he also showed us how the workmanship was somewhat sloppy and that it also revealed their lack of experience with the Enphase equipment. Spending about two hours on site, Jason reinstalled the consumption metering hardware, double checked the rest of the install and then completed the software update so that the system was, finally, fully functional. I am very grateful for Jason's assistance. More than that, I am amazed that he took the time to do this, for free, simply because he wanted to help. From the beginning of our first phone call to the end of his visit to our house, his intention was to solve our issues. The whole experience was amazingly good: he returned calls just as promised, he arrived at our house on schedule, he was thorough on site with great attention to detail, and through it all he was efficient but unhurried, committed to quality, informative and pleasant. I urge anyone who is looking into solar installations to include Florida Solar Design Group in their list of people to speak with.
I had a horrible experience with another solar company that just decided to up and disappear. I called Florida Solar Design and explained the situation I was in. Jason came... ... by and helped me on finishing the project and even correcting some of the error the original installers made. All in all I wished I've would of known of florida solar design in the beginning. It would have saved me from a lot a heartache
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!

I can’t say enough about Jason, his staff and crew. The level of responsiveness is unparalleled, the level professionalism is typically unseen in this or any other construction industry. Jason... ... makes sure to walk the customer through the best options available. He educates his customers. Susan in the office was awesome! Very communicative and great sense of humor. It was the best service I’ve received of any contractor in the state of Florida. Pricing was excellent as well. I wish I owned more houses to put him to work more! Jason was also on-site at my home, and was readily accessible for any questions.
Florida Solar Design Group provided excellent service throughout our installation. During the design phase, they addressed all of our questions and provided multiple customized options so that we could choose... ... the system that works best for us. They made the permitting, HOA approval, and FPL net metering processes as easy as possible. Installation went very smoothly, and the end products looks great and is producing the expected output. FSDG communicated with us throughout the process and met or exceeded all of their commitments. I am completely satisfied with FSDG’s work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a solar installation.
