About Us
Florida solar, the May way — by electricians, since 2006.
Owner-led, in-house, and locally accountable — we've installed thousands of systems across Central Florida and the Gulf Coast without ever subcontracting a single job.
William May
Owner & Master Electrician
A solar company that's here for the long-haul
May Electric Solar is the solar division of William May Inc., a licensed Florida electrical contractor founded by William May in 2006. He began his career in utility work and roofing before becoming a licensed electrician, William built the company on a simple belief: homeowners deserve honest guidance, quality workmanship, and a solar company that will still be here decades after the installation is complete to continue servicing their customers.
While many solar companies have come and gone, May Solar has remained committed to doing things the right way. Today, we continue serving homeowners across Central Florida with the same family values, craftsmanship, and customer-first approach that built our reputation from the start.
We've never subcontracted a single job. Every system is designed, permitted, installed, and serviced by our own in-house team — so the people who build your system are the same people who answer the phone years later.

What sets us apart
Licensed Master Electricians
Solar is an electrical project first. Every install has licensed master-electrician oversight (FL license EC13005353) — not just a salesperson and a crew.
Never subcontracted
Every installer is a trained May Electric Solar employee. Your project is never handed off to the lowest bidder.
Honest, right-sized systems
We design to what you actually need and what the economics justify — not to maximize the sale. We'll tell you the truth.
Local & accountable since 2006
20 years serving Central Florida and the Gulf Coast, with an A+ BBB record. We answer the phone after the install, too.
Professional and experienced sales team
Every member of our sales team has been with us for 8 years or more. Our experience ensures that you get a system that is built with your needs in mind. No games, just honest answers, and exceptional solar designs.
Neil Summers
Sales Consultant
11 years with May Electric Solar
Neil has been with May Electric Solar since 2015. Before solar, he worked with designers and decorators in high-end window treatments for homes and businesses, so it's fair to say his passion is creating lifestyle changes that add value and a "good feel" experience. He's very responsive to his clients' questions and genuinely happy to serve in an industry that's changing the world.
What Neil loves most about May Electric Solar is that everyone here is family. He's worked with the same guys and gals since he basically started, and that commitment carries all the way through to installation and service. More "SOLAR" power to the People!
Paul Dunn
Sales Consultant
11 years with May Electric Solar
Paul brings a rare combination of formal training and decades of hands-on experience to every May Electric Solar customer. He earned Associate of Applied Science degrees in both Mechanical Technology and Solar Technology from the State University of New York (SUNY), grounding his career in the fundamentals of how these systems actually work.
After moving to Florida in 1986, Paul got his start in the earliest days of the state's solar industry, installing solar domestic hot water and pool heating systems. For the past 11 years, Paul has been a trusted member of the May Electric Solar team, helping Florida homeowners make confident, informed decisions about going solar.
Tom Iaci
Sales Consultant
8 years with May Electric Solar
After moving from the Big Island of Hawaii to Tampa in 2018, Tom entered the solar business with May Electric Solar for two simple reasons: he wanted to help the environment while also helping homeowners save money on their power bills.
His customers appreciate his honest, straightforward approach and the way he genuinely listens to each customer's needs and goals before designing a system that meets their expectations. To back that up, Tom builds every proposal in Aurora, one of the most accurate solar design tools in the industry, using its detailed shade reports, and accurate 3-D modelling to give customers estimates they can trust.
