Solar Home Upgrades

Most solar companies are single minded in the solar solutions available for installation. Sunlight Solar has expanded its horizons by providing a number of solar solutions to its clients allowing for potential energy upgrades in multiple facets. These solar home upgrades include solar-powered electric systems, attic fans, and water heaters.

Most companies are primarily focused on selling the homerun solar system, whereas Sunlight Solar is dedicated to helping clients find the best possible energy upgrades for a home and increasing potential savings while decreasing carbon footprint impact. 

Solar Pool Solutions

By far the most unique offering available through Sunlight Solar is its solar products that bolster pool performance and usage. Very few solar contractors offer solar services geared towards pools. Sunlight Solar provides the following services to its clients:

• Solar pool heater
• Solar pool pump
• Pool automation
• Solar blankets

Not only will Sunlight Solar clients be able to maximize the usage of their pool  year round, clients will also save money by utilizing environmentally friendly solutions. This is not a typical services or products available to customers with a vast majority of solar contractors. 

Equipment Partnerships

It’s not surprising that a reputable company like Sunlight Solar has high level equipment partnerships. What is unique is the fact that the company maintains high level equipment partnerships without being pinned down as a dealer (which limits the access a company has to certain equipment). Sunlight Solar has partnerships with the following manufacturers:

• FAFCO
• Enphase
• SolarEdge
• Generac

These equipment partnerships allow clients to access some of the best inverters available on the market. The inverter is a vital component in generating energy for a property. 

Experience

When the federal government started to provide financial incentives to those who had solar systems installed, solar contractors and installation providers started to pop up across the country. This explosion has happened in the last decade, which makes finding a provider that has been in the industry before this “solar boom” all the more impressive. Sunlight Solar was founded and started providing solar alternatives in 2003, long before most of its competition started operations.

To date, Sunlight Solar has successfully completed over 500 projects within the state of Florida alone. This includes over 450,000 of installed kilowatts resulting in over 3,000 diesel gallons saved. This is the equivalent of preserving over 700 acres of U.S. forests. This experience has allowed Sunlight Solar to provide uniquely customized solar solutions to its clients that is unmatched by newer providers. 

• Undisclosed Warranty Details
• Limited Service Area

Undisclosed Warranty Details

Warranties are vital to the solar industry. Since solar systems are a financial investment, and an expensive one at that, ensuring that the equipment and connection work as designed throughout the duration of the system lifespan is imperative. To satisfy these service concerns, solar providers typically offer some or all of the following warranties: equipment, production, and workmanship.

While these warranties are standard within the industry, not all companies will offer all three. However, when these warranties are offered, specifics regarding protection features are generally publicly disclosed.

Unfortunately for Sunlight Solar clients, this is not the case. The company claims to offer a “30-year warranty” but it is unclear if that is through the manufacturer or the company itself. It is also unclear what is protected under this blanket warranty. 

Limited Service Area

A common downside within the solar industry is the limited geographical area a particular company services. This is more evident with providers that offer start-to-finish services as key components of the process are not contracted out to other companies. That is the case for Sunlight Solar that remains committed to servicing clients solely within the state of Florida.

Despite this business model being the industry norm, there are companies that have found ways to expand and reach clients across state lines or regionally. It is possible for solar companies to offer a larger reach, but Sunlight Solar remains a local company.
