Solar Installer in Ocala, FL
Solar built for Ocala's horse country and long inland summers.
Your local Ocala solar team
Ocala and the surrounding Marion County horse country sit in inland North Central Florida, where homes, barns, and well pumps run hard on power through long, hot summers. We bring the same licensed, in-house, no-subcontractor approach up to Ocala that we've run since 2006.
Utility service around Ocala is split three ways: the city itself is served by Ocala Electric Utility, a municipal utility with its own net-metering rules, while much of Marion County falls under Duke Energy or the SECO Energy cooperative. We confirm exactly who serves your address and design around that provider's specific rules before we ever quote a system.
We install solar across Ocala and nearby Marion County communities, including Belleview, Dunnellon, Silver Springs, Marion Oaks, Summerfield, Silver Springs Shores, Ocklawaha, On Top of the World.
Why Ocala homeowners choose May
Built for inland heat
North Central Florida summers mean big cooling loads, and rural properties often add well pumps and outbuildings. We design Ocala systems to your real usage, not a generic estimate.
Municipal-utility know-how
The City of Ocala runs on Ocala Electric Utility, whose net-metering and rate rules differ from Duke and SECO. We design around how your specific provider actually bills and credits your solar — and confirm which one serves you first.
Horse-farm & acreage friendly
Barns, large roofs, and multi-building properties are common in Marion County. We design for the roofs and layouts horse country actually has.
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 Ocala 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 Ocala — common questions
- Do you install solar in Ocala?
- Yes. We've served Marion 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 Ocala?
- Ocala is served by Ocala Electric Utility or 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 Ocala?
- Only with battery backup. A standard grid-tied system shuts off in an outage for utility-crew safety. We pair Ocala 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.
