Solar has changed a lot over the years, from the equipment to the warranties to the way a system protects your home during a storm. Owner and Master Electrician William May sat down with Tampa Bay's Morning Blend to explain what's new, and why doing it right still comes down to who's on your roof.
Back on the Morning Blend
We were glad to return to Tampa Bay's Morning Blend to answer a question a lot of Florida homeowners keep asking: with everything that's changed in solar, is it finally the right time to make the switch? Owner and Master Electrician William May walked through what's new in the industry, and what to look for so you end up with a system that actually delivers. You can watch the full segment below.
Nearly two decades of doing it right
May Electric has been installing solar and electrical work in Florida for well over a decade, and that experience shows up in every job. We've watched the technology mature, from the panels and inverters to the monitoring and the warranties, and we've built the company to keep pace with all of it.
That longevity matters more than it might sound. Solar is a decades-long investment, so the company standing behind it needs to be around for the long haul. We've earned the licenses, the manufacturer registrations, and the track record to be that company.
Electricians first, never subcontracted
Here's what still sets us apart most: we're a licensed electrical company, and solar is an electrical project before it's anything else. Your system is designed, installed, and signed off by our own licensed electricians. We don't hand your job off to a subcontractor and hope it goes well.
Every install starts with a real conversation. We come to your house, look at the roof, and talk through how you actually use electricity, including where your usage might head in the future. From there we design the most cost-effective system for your home, so you're not underbuilt or paying for capacity you'll never use.
A warranty that has grown with the industry
When we started, a one-year workmanship warranty was the industry norm. Over time we pushed that to three years, and today our coverage runs 25 years, backed by an independent, third-party warranty that sits between us and the manufacturer.
That third-party piece is rare. Only a small number of companies nationwide, and a handful in the state of Florida, are registered to offer it. It means your coverage doesn't depend on any single company still being in business years down the road. When it comes to protecting an investment in your home, those extra layers are real peace of mind.
Quality work you can be proud of
Beyond the coverage, the day-to-day quality is where our crews take pride. We care about the aesthetics, the clean installation, and doing the job to code the right way the first time. The equipment, the labor, and the workmanship all come together into something you'll be happy to have on your roof for the long run.
And in a state that sees its share of hurricanes, a well-designed system, especially one paired with battery backup, keeps the power you need on when you need it most.
