Pinellas County · Tampa Bay & Gulf Coast
Solar Installer in Clearwater, FL
Solar and hurricane backup for Clearwater and the beaches.
Your local Clearwater solar team
Clearwater and the Pinellas beaches sit right across the bay from us, and we've installed throughout the county for years. It's about as sunny and coastal as Florida gets — great for solar production, but also fully exposed to hurricane season on a narrow barrier-island peninsula.
That exposure is why we lean on Enphase battery backup for Clearwater homes. When a storm knocks out the grid, a properly designed system keeps your essentials powered and recharges from the sun each day.
Why Clearwater homeowners choose May
Coastal & barrier-island ready
Salt air and wind exposure near the Gulf demand equipment and mounting that hold up — we design Clearwater systems accordingly.
Duke Energy net metering
Pinellas is Duke Energy territory, so your exported solar is credited at the retail rate that makes the long-term math work.
High solar yield
Clearwater's sun is a genuine advantage — abundant production means a right-sized system can cover most or all of your annual usage.
Premium equipment, installed right
We install the gear we'd put on our own homes — REC solar panels, Enphase microinverters, and Enphase IQ batteries for storm-proof backup — for every Clearwater home.
- Premium REC panels with an industry-leading warranty
- Enphase microinverters — panel-level output, no single point of failure
- Enphase IQ battery backup for whole-storm power

What Florida homeowners say
“Our lights stayed on through both 2024 hurricanes while our neighbors lost power — and the system covers our entire electric bill.”
“Ten years after they installed my system, I got same-day service. Where can you get that kind of high-touch service after 10 years? For me, it's May all the way!”
“Other companies gave very misleading information. May Electric gave us the truthful, correct information.”
Solar in Clearwater — common questions
- Do you install solar in Clearwater?
- Yes. We've served Pinellas County and the surrounding area since 2006, with our own in-house crews and a licensed Master Electrician on every job — never subcontracted.
- Who handles net metering in Clearwater?
- Clearwater is served by Duke Energy. We confirm your exact provider and design around its specific net-metering rules so the credit you earn for exported solar is reflected in your real numbers.
- Will my solar work during a power outage in Clearwater?
- Only with battery backup. A standard grid-tied system shuts off in an outage for utility-crew safety. We pair Clearwater systems with Enphase battery backup so your home can island and keep essentials running through storms.
- Is there still a federal tax credit for home solar in 2026?
- No — the 30% residential federal solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired at the end of 2025. Be cautious of any installer still advertising '30% off' to homeowners. Florida's sun, rising utility rates, and retail net metering still make solar a solid long-term investment. Consult a tax professional about your situation.
