Thinking about going solar? We sat down with Tampa Bay's Morning Blend to walk through what the switch actually means for your home, your power bill, and your peace of mind.
May Electric Solar on Tampa Bay's Morning Blend
We were glad to join The Morning Blend on ABC Action News, and to be featured as one of Tampa Bay's ABC Home Pros, to talk through a question a lot of Florida homeowners are asking: is it finally time to go solar? Owner and Master Electrician William May broke down what the switch really involves, without the high-pressure sales pitch. Watch the full segment below.
Electricians first, solar installers second
May Electric Solar started as an electrical contracting business, and that order still matters. Solar is an electrical project before it is anything else, so it should be designed, wired, and signed off by licensed electricians. William May has run the company that way since 2006, and he still stands behind every install personally.
It is also why we have never subcontracted a single job. The crew that designs your system is the same crew that installs it, and the same team that answers the phone years later. When the people on your roof are your own employees working under a Master Electrician, quality is not something you hope for. It is something you control.
Why Tampa Bay homeowners are making the switch
Florida is one of the best places in the country to put the sun to work, and the reasons add up quickly:
- Lower power bills. A right-sized system offsets most, often nearly all, of your monthly electricity use, so you stop renting power from the utility at ever-rising rates.
- Retail-rate net metering. Florida's major utilities credit the surplus you send back to the grid, which quietly does a lot of the heavy lifting on your savings.
- Storm resilience. Pair solar with battery backup and your home can keep its essentials running through hurricane-season outages instead of going dark.
- Real sunshine. This is the Sunshine State for a reason. The production is here. It is just a matter of capturing it.
Built to last, and covered for the long haul
Going solar is a decades-long decision, so the company behind the panels matters as much as the panels themselves. We install premium equipment and back it with layered, long-term coverage, including an independent 30-year warranty through Solar Insure. You can read more about how that warranty protects your investment, even if an installer or manufacturer ever goes out of business.
