Hillsborough County · Tampa Bay & Gulf Coast
Solar Installer in Tampa, FL
Beat rising TECO rates with solar built for Tampa.
Your local Tampa solar team
We've installed across Hillsborough County for years — from South Tampa and Westchase to New Tampa and Brandon. Tampa homeowners are served by Tampa Electric (TECO), whose rates have climbed steadily, which is a big part of why locking in your energy cost with solar makes sense here.
The 2024 storms — Helene and Milton — left much of Tampa Bay without power for days. That's the case for battery backup in plain terms: we design Tampa systems so your home can island and keep running when the grid goes down.
Why Tampa homeowners choose May
Built around TECO
Tampa Electric's rates and net-metering rules differ from the Duke territory next door — we design specifically for what TECO customers actually get back.
Storm-tested case for backup
After Helene and Milton, Tampa homeowners know what days without power feel like. Enphase battery backup is how you avoid the next one.
Urban-roof know-how
Shaded lots, varied roof pitches, and HOA-heavy neighborhoods — our microinverter designs handle the realities of Tampa rooftops.
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 Tampa 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 Tampa — common questions
- Do you install solar in Tampa?
- Yes. We've served Hillsborough 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 Tampa?
- Tampa is served by Tampa Electric (TECO). 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 Tampa?
- Only with battery backup. A standard grid-tied system shuts off in an outage for utility-crew safety. We pair Tampa 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.
