Full-Service Provider

Urban Solar is a full-service solar provider, meaning the company facilitates every step of the installation process:

• Consultation — Every solar project begins with an initial consultation in which Urban Solar's energy consultants will review the previous year's energy use, project the potential savings solar power could provide, and evaluate the home's overall candidacy for solar energy.
• Design and permitting — Urban Solar will then design a custom solar panel system for the client that maximizes the home's solar output. Once the plans are approved, Urban Solar will set up the necessary paperwork to apply for all relevant building permits.
• Product selection — The company boasts a considerable network of reliable vendors for solar panels, inverters, backup battery solutions, and more.
• Installation — Project management of the actual solar installation begins. Urban Solar is dedicated to minimizing delays and maintaining active communication through the entire process.
• Interconnection — Following inspection from the city, Urban Solar handles the communication with the utility provider to interconnect the new solar build to the power grid.
• Monitoring — Urban Solar will help customers set up their online monitoring system, which allows them to view their system's performance in real time, and reach out to Urban Solar in the even of a system error or performance issue.

Industry Partnerships/Certifications

Urban Solar's partner network ensures that homeowners will have multiple options designed to fit their budget and energy needs. While Urban Solar typically sources panels from Q CELLS, the company also works with Jinko Solar, LG Solar, Mission Solar, and others — all rated among the best in the world for efficiency and warranty protection.

The company also works with the Enphase, SMA, and SolarEdge to source high-efficiency microinverters. Regarding solar energy storage solutions, Urban Solar is both an Enphase Platinum Installer and a Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer.

Notable financing partnerships include Dividend Solar, Renew Financial, and Ygrene Energy Fund. These organizations offer low-rate solar loans with flexible terms.

Only Available in Florida

Urban Solar is only available to homes and businesses in Florida. While this narrow service area, combined with its considerable time in business, makes Urban Solar a true expert regarding Florida's unique challenges, incentives, and regulations, it is not a nationally recognized brand, and may lack the reach or resources of its larger competitors.

No NABCEP Certification

Urban Solar does not appear to be certified by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP), an organization that trains and educates solar technicians on the latest technologies and processes in the solar industry.
