Top Ranked Companies
The Good
- Financing Options
- Warranties
- Roofing Solutions
- In-House Installations
Financing Options
Sun-Tec supports a number of financing options for the homeowner, including outright purchase, loan, and PACE financing. On the loan front, the company offers no money down options with terms ranging from 7 to 20 years. Sun-Tec maintains at least three financiers for its loan products and two for its PACE products.
Warranties
Sun-Tec claims to have the longest workmanship warranty in the industry and at 25 years, that is the longest workmanship warranty we see. Sun-Tec's solar equipment is designed to function long-term with minimal maintenance, but warranties are included with your solar purchase in case any repairs or service are needed.
The company offers the following four warranty coverage options — it is worth noting that each warranty is specific to a type of solar system/brand:
- QCell Solar Panel Production Warranty — limited warranty for QCell crystalline photovoltaic modules issued by the manufacturer, Hanwha Q Cells. QCells are a type of solar panel that have a higher energy yield compared to other solar products.
- Solar Edge Power Electronics Warranty — limited product warranty provided by SolarEdge Technologies Ltd., covering defects in materials and workmanship.
- Structural Warranty — 25-year limited warranty provided by Quick Mount PV, covering solar roof mount components and products.
- Enphase Power Electronic Warranty — limited warranty provided by Enphase for specific covered products, including microinverters and aggregators.
It is worth noting that a Sun-Tec roofing warranty includes everything from repairs to a complete roof replacement if needed.
Roofing Solutions
Sun-Tec is licensed and has an expert crew that can handle a variety of roofing projects in Florida. In addition, the company has liability insurance, keeping the company responsible for any damage that could occur during a roof repair or installation process.
Sun-Tec is recognized as one of the top roofing companies in Florida. Specific Sun-Tec roofing reviews are currently limited, but customers are generally pleased with the company’s products and services.
In-House Installations
Sun-Tec does not outsource its installations. Instead, the company performs all installations using well-trained in-house employees, which keeps the level of quality high and leaves less room for miscommunication or error.
Additionally, Sun-Tec operates with a home liability insurance of up to $2 million for each property to give you peace of mind in the installation process. This means that the company would be liable for any damages that happen while the installation team is working on your roof.
The Bad
- Only Available in Florida
- Customer Service
- Vague Warranty Promise
Only Available in Florida
Sun-Tec provides solar and roofing services only in Florida. If you aren’t a Florida resident, you’ll need to look into other solar and roofing company options that are available in your state of residence.
Customer Service
The company claims that its top priority is to keep clients happy, and that may be true. However, based on the reviews on our site, it’s unclear if Sun-Tec has responded to and resolved customer complaints.
Vague Warranty Promise
Sun-Tec’s website says products will always be covered by the manufacturers that create them. However, in the warranty details page, there is a year maximum attached to each product warranty. Clarity from the solar company would be helpful on this subject.
Additionally, as far as we are aware, Sun-Tec does not offer a performance guarantee with installation.
The Bottom Line
Consumers looking to save money on their utilities and have a solar power system installed may benefit from the services available from Sun-Tec. The company provides high quality equipment and great warranties in Florida.
Consumers with a need for both solar panel and roofing services may benefit the most from using Sun-Tec Solar & Roofing.
However, more customer reviews and company engagement with reviewers are needed to provide a thorough analysis of Sun-Tec's online reputation and how it compares to other Florida companies in the solar industry.
