Lower bills. Lights on
when the grid isn't.
Solar sized to your actual usage, batteries sized to what you need to keep running through an outage — specified for hurricane wind loads and salt air. No online estimator; real numbers after we see your bill.
Three problems, one honest conversation.
Replace utility kilowatt-hours with your own
We size systems to your last 12 months of usage, your roof and your utility's rules — not to a sales quota. Sometimes the right answer is a smaller system than you were quoted elsewhere.
Keep the AC, fridge and Wi-Fi running
Batteries with the right transfer switching keep essential circuits — or the whole house — up when the grid drops. Whole-home vs. essential-loads is a real decision; we'll walk you through it.
Advice from people who live here
We're a small local firm. You talk to a technical advisor, not a closer. Written design and economics before you sign anything, and a licensed contractor's name on the contract.
Salt air and 150-mph design winds are not optional considerations.
Coastal Florida installs live in a harsher environment than the equipment marketing assumes. Racking, fasteners, conduit and enclosures should be specified for corrosion and wind-load, and permitted to Florida Building Code high-velocity requirements where they apply.
- Corrosion-rated racking and hardware for barrier-island and near-shore homes
- Wind-load engineering to your county's design speed, stamped by the contractor's engineer
- Battery placement that respects flood zone and setback rules
- Rapid shutdown, monitoring and warranty registration handled at commissioning

Ten minutes on the phone.
That's enough for a written first pass on system size, battery options and rough economics.
Start my reviewHomeowner questions.
Why won't you give me a price online?
Because we'd have to guess at your roof, shading, usage and utility rules, and the tax treatment of a residential system depends on your personal situation. A number that's off by 30% helps nobody. Send the bill; we'll send real numbers in writing.
What about the federal tax credit?
Federal incentive rules for residential solar changed materially with 2025 legislation, and eligibility depends on timing and your tax situation. We'll tell you exactly what applies to your project at the time you sign, and we recommend confirming with your tax professional. We don't quote incentive amounts on this site because they go stale.
Do I need a battery?
Not necessarily. If your goal is bill reduction alone, sometimes not. If your goal is riding through outages, yes — and the sizing question is which loads for how long. Our Batteries 101 page walks through it.
Who installs it?
An independent, state-licensed Florida contractor we partner with. Islander Solar handles design, equipment selection and project coordination; the contractor performs the installation, electrical work and permitting under its license.
