Solar Installer in St. Petersburg, FL
Solar for the Sunshine City — and we mean it literally.
Your local St. Petersburg solar team
St. Petersburg earned the nickname 'the Sunshine City' the hard way, with a world-record streak of consecutive sunny days. That same sun is what makes solar work so well here. We've installed across Pinellas County for years, from the historic neighborhoods near downtown to the newer developments.
St. Pete's older and architecturally distinct homes mean roofs come in every shape and age. Our panel-level microinverter designs handle mixed orientations and partial shade without dragging down the whole array.
Why St. Petersburg homeowners choose May
Among Florida's best sun
St. Petersburg's record-setting sunshine translates directly into production — a strong case for going solar here.
Historic-home know-how
Older roofs, varied pitches, and tight lots are the norm downtown — we design and mount for them, not against them.
Duke Energy net metering
As Duke Energy territory, St. Pete homes earn retail-rate credit for the surplus they export to the grid.
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 St. Petersburg 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 St. Petersburg — common questions
- Do you install solar in St. Petersburg?
- 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 St. Petersburg?
- St. Petersburg 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 St. Petersburg?
- Only with battery backup. A standard grid-tied system shuts off in an outage for utility-crew safety. We pair St. Petersburg 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.
