Customer Testimonials:
“Thanks for the good service. I want you to know that your crew of installers are
exceptional and costumer service oriented. Solar Direct has a great team! Thanks.” - Danny Lopez

“We have nothing but praise for Solar Direct from start to finish. Solar Direct handled everything from explaining the tax incentives and offering a "0%" financing for the first year and the Interconnection with the Utility. Well worth it.” - Brian and Shannon Angstadt

“I couldn't be happier with the job Solar Direct did. I had lots of questions in the process; I continuously discussed with Solar Direct my options and alternatives. Oliver was great to work with. And this year, from Jan to Dec, I have net overproduction of electricity which I am selling back to TECO. Not a lot, but I got
to net zero, which was my goal, and then some.” - Elliott Glazer

"We just finished a big project with Solar Direct and are very happy with them! They stick with it until everything is done to your satisfaction. They reconfigured our pool pump room with an automated system and we love it. We are already planning our next project with Kirk and his crew, we highly recommend." - Beth Golden

"Solid solar company since the 1980's. Engineering based, so custom design and installs are very competent, but not quick. Worked with them for decades" - Mike Evans

Eight 4x12 Vortex panels

Our old Fafco solar pool heater panels were in rough shape. I called Solar Direct to have them replaced with Vortex panels. We couldn't be happier. Kelly handled everything from the office like a superstar. She answered all of my questions and was a joy to speak with over the phone. On install day the guys showed up on time, were very professional and had the new panels installed in no time at all. Thanks again Solar Direct.

Great Service

We were looking to update our 15-year-old system that the previous owners of the house had installed. After contacting a few vendors, we settled on Solar Direct based on the positive reviews throughout the Internet. They certainly did not disappoint. They were able to get my system changed out in a fairly quick length of time and walked me through everything that had changed. I am a very happy customer and highly recommend them.

Great Company to do Business With

We just had 28 solar panel system installed and had a great experience with Solar Direct. We did our own research on different panels and inverters before deciding to go solar. From day one, we were treated very respectfully and all of our questions and concerns were answered. (Thank you Dale & Oliver!) We were given a complete description of how the process takes place and a projected timeline. Everything was completed in or very close to that timeline, the only delay of a couple of days caused by an abundance of rain for a few days. (Thank you Frank!) After the install was complete, we had to wait for FPL to install the NET meter, which was within a week, even though we thought it would be postponed due to Hurricane Dorian. Once the NET meter was installed, I was contacted and instructed on how to sign on to the website and install the app to monitor the system. So far, all seems great and it was a pleasant experience dealing with Solar Direct.

Passive solar water heater

I'm a DIY homeowner working with Solar Direct for 12 years and cannot be happier with the product choice advice, sales and follow up support. They literally walked me thru the installation and maintenance of a solar domestic hot water system that is working as well today as it was 12 years ago.

Excellent Solar Installer

I have installed 15.3kw solar system which consisted of 45 340w TallMax panels. From the time of the order throughout installation the response was great from SolarDirect. I am a pest of a customer and have lots of questions and request frequent status. With a Tier 2 system it adds another level of complexity with insurance and agreement with the utility. Was provided a clear timeline and was able to keep in touch throughout the process. I even had to upgrade my main service panel to handle a line side tap. The installers were great and were not bothered by me being on the roof to ask questions and take progress pictures. This gave me a better understanding on what was being done and how everything tied in. This was even accomplished in one day and tested before they left. They answered everything and showed me the inverters and tied to main service panel. Since the agreement was in place prior to installation I only had to wait a couple business days for the utility to install my meter. When the system turned on one of the inverters crashed after about 50 minutes. Their service team took care of getting a replacement shipped and installed quickly. System has been performing really well and glad j took the plunge into solar.
