Three-Step Solar Ownership Process

Core Energy Solar provides customers a three-step path toward solar panel ownership:

  1. Free Estimate — a Core Energy rep will evaluate the home's current energy consumption, sun exposure, utility costs, and ultimate solar power needs. Once this information has been calculated, Core Energy Solar will provide a free estimate on the prospective solar installation.
  2. System Design — Core Energy Solar will customize a solar panel array for the household's specific energy requirements. 
  3. Energy Independence — once the design has been improved, Core Energy Solar will install the panels (most solar installations take about a week to complete). Following a system test, Core Energy will work with the utility provider to connect your solar panel system into the grid.

Top-Level Solar Equipment

Core Energy Solar provides a wide array of top-leve solar equipment to help customers save money and save the environment:

  • Mission Solar Energy Panels — one of the most energy-efficient panels on the market, Mission Solar panels are built to last.
  • Enphase Microinverters — Enphase microinverters ensure high production and smart energy management with any solar panel system they're attached to.
  • IronRidge Racking — backed by a 25-year warranty, IronRidge racking equipment is considered one of the top mounting systems in the solar industry.
  • Enphase Battery Storage Solutions — includes a full suite of backup battery options designed to maintain power even when there's a grid outage or power disruption.
  • EnelX JuiceBox EV Charger — an intuitive, fast-charging electric vehicle charging system that integrates seamlessly into your current solar panel array.

Core Energy Solar also provides system monitoring through the Enphase MyEnlighten Monitoring system, which allows users to keep track of, gain insights from, and have remote access their solar panel system.

Financing Options

Frank Ruiz Homestead, FL

Great Company! I was iffy about going solar primarily because of the aesthetics. I didn't really like how panels looked, but I came to find that my opinion was biased. My neighbors got solar with another company, and their system has panels facing in all directions and the system just doesn't look clean. Core Energy Solar's install crew went above and beyond making sure everything came out just right. Their head install guy Rudy, would always communicate everything with us, so there was never any surprises. Our install took 3 days because of weather conditions, but the end result is phenomenal. Clean job, and it's turned on and producing power already. If you're thinking about solar, think Core Energy.

Great service! We met with 2 other companies before Core Energy Solar in Miami and decided to go with them because Peter A was the most knowledgable out of all 3 which made us more comfortable. Fast forward 40 days and panels are up and running! Thank you guys!

What I like most about this company is their honesty. Based on my electric bill, my initial system design called for a 15 kW system, but after a thorough inspection of my energy needs, turns out switching out my outdated AC unit would drop my system size to a smaller one, saving me thousands of dollars. Core Energy doesn't care about getting the most money out of their customers, they care about truly helping each of them reach their goals and save money along the way. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to go solar!

you can never get anyone on the phone. Solar panels installed in October 2022, it is now January 2024 and it has not been turned on. They just keep telling me they are waiting for inspection. I swear, if this isn't a scam, I don't know what is.

WARNING ⚠️ DO NOT use this COMPANY!!! Unqualified workforce. The project failed inspection 3 times. One year after installation only 10 of my 18 panels were producing. Never can talk to a person on the phone. After a year and two months they finally fixed the issues . Unfortunately ones they collect the money after the installation..good luck getting anyone out to your site if you have any problems.

After installation no follow up at all, not sure how it works or how to read the meter. Definitely not saving what we were told.

Hello Mr. Berman, after reviewing your comments as well as your file, we can see that your system was designed to offset about 79% of your energy usage as per your solar proposal. Additionally, we were able to view your systems production and it aligns with the expectations set at said proposal and production guidelines. In regards to your consumption however, we see an increase of your previous monthly usage (1600 kwh) to now 2500 kwh per month with December being your lowest consuming at 1969 kwh since going solar. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach us at 877-267-3674 or [email protected]

Thank you!

They assured us that the loan payments are refunded for the months before the system is operational. However, once charged, they do not refund, and it's been months.
