Frequently Asked Questions

We never use subcontractors, anywhere in Florida. Every system is designed, permitted and installed by SunVena employees. We have installation teams based in each region we serve, from the Panhandle to South Florida, and teams from one region support another when demand requires it, so your crew is a SunVena crew whether your home is in Orlando, Miami or Pensacola. One company sells the system, installs it and services it, which keeps quality control in-house and removes the middleman’s markup.

We have completed more than 20,000 solar and battery installations across Florida since 2019, from the Panhandle to South Florida, with every installation performed by our own crews. We design systems for every region of the state, and our track record speaks for itself.

Yes. We have been BBB Accredited since February 2020. You can find our full profile and customer reviews on the Better Business Bureau website.

The entire state of Florida. Headquartered in Sanford near Orlando, with staffed offices in Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and Pensacola, our in-house crews install in Orlando and Central Florida, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville and North Florida, Miami, Fort Lauderdale and South Florida, Sarasota, Fort Myers and Southwest Florida, Lakeland, the Space Coast, and Pensacola and the Panhandle.

Both. SunVena Solar is a Florida solar company that designs, permits and installs its own systems, and the people on your roof are SunVena employees. We hold our own Florida certified electrical contractor license, EC13009447, and we do not use subcontractors anywhere in the state. Many solar companies in Florida sell the system and hand the installation to a third party. SunVena sells, installs and services the system as one company, for homeowners and businesses, from our headquarters in Sanford near Orlando and our offices in Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and Pensacola.

Check four things before you sign. Confirm the company holds its own Florida contractor license at myfloridalicense.com. Ask who performs the installation, because in-house crews mean one company is accountable for the workmanship. Read the warranty for what it covers: panels, inverters, labor, roof penetrations and production. Then read reviews on more than one site. SunVena Solar is licensed as EC13009447, installs with its own crews, backs every system with a 25-year warranty that includes a cash-paid production guarantee, and is rated 4.9 out of 5 by more than 2,000 Google reviewers and 4.95 out of 5 on SolarReviews.

Yes. SunVena Roofing, our sister company, holds its own Florida certified roofing contractor license, CCC1333185, and replaces roofs across the state.

Compare three things: who installs, where the company is based and what the warranty covers. SunVena works only in Florida, is headquartered in Sanford, installs with its own employees and services what it installs. Some national brands sell through dealers or hand installations to local partner companies, so ask any company, national or local, who will be on your roof and who you call in year ten. SunVena’s 25-year warranty covers panels, inverters, labor and roof penetrations and pays a cash guarantee if your system underproduces.

Going solar saves you money in several ways. The most immediate savings come from dramatically reducing or eliminating your monthly electric bill. Instead of paying your utility company’s ever-increasing rates, your solar system generates its own clean energy, locking in your energy costs for decades.

Florida’s net metering policy takes your savings even further. When your solar panels produce more energy than your home uses, the excess is sent back to the grid and credited to your account, offsetting future electric bills.

Over the life of your system, most Florida homeowners save tens of thousands of dollars compared to staying on the grid. And because we never use subcontractors and handle everything in-house, you get a premium system at a more competitive price, maximizing your return on investment from day one.

The 30% federal tax credit for homeowner-owned solar ended on December 31, 2025, but federal incentives remain active for commercial and business solar projects. See how homeowners can still unlock savings through solar leases that qualify under commercial incentive rules by visiting our Solar Federal Tax Credit page.

Studies have shown that homes with solar energy systems sell for more than homes without. In many parts of the country, going solar will actually increase your property value more than a kitchen renovation.

No. Florida law exempts residential solar systems from property tax assessments. Your property taxes will not go up after we install your system.

Every home is different, which is why we offer free, no-obligation energy consultations and custom quotes based on your specific home, energy usage, and long-term goals. We also offer $0 down financing options so you can start saving immediately.

We offer several flexible options, including secured and unsecured solar loans with terms from 5-30 years, as well as solar lease and lease-to-own options. Our loans feature no prepayment penalties and competitive fixed or variable rates, backed by multiple lending partners.

SunVena installs industry-leading solar equipment from the most trusted brands. Our core product offerings include:

Tier 1 Solar Panels: We install high-efficiency heterojunction (HJT) silicon photovoltaic panels from top manufacturers, including REC Group, Qcells, Silfab, and Tesla. These panels are engineered to withstand Florida’s climate and built to last for decades.

Inverters: We offer both Enphase microinverters and Tesla solar inverters, giving homeowners flexible options based on their energy needs and budget.

Battery Storage: For homeowners who want energy independence and backup power during outages, we install Tesla Powerwalls and Enphase Batteries. These are two of the most reliable battery storage solutions available.

Smart Electrical Panels: We also install the SPAN smart panel, a fully digital electrical panel designed for homes with solar and battery storage. It provides breaker-level energy monitoring and maximizes battery capacity.

Solar Roofing: As one of Florida’s highest-volume Tesla Solar Roof installers, we can transform your entire roof into an energy-generating system.

Every system is custom-designed for your home’s energy needs and engineered to withstand Florida’s hurricane-force climate, so you get the right equipment at the best value, not just the most expensive.

A standard grid-tied solar system will automatically shut off during a power outage for safety reasons. This is true of all grid-tied systems, not just ours. To keep your home powered during an outage, we recommend pairing your solar system with battery backup storage, which we offer and install.

Yes. We offer home battery storage solutions, including Enphase batteries and the Tesla Powerwall product line. As one of Florida’s few Tesla Premier Installers, we can provide and install the Powerwall at highly competitive pricing. A solar and battery system gives you true energy independence during the day, at night, and during outages.

The size of your solar energy system will depend on how much electricity you use on a monthly basis, as well as environmental conditions. Our team will evaluate your property and needs and design a custom solar solution for your property.

Solar power systems are built to last for decades. Most systems will continue producing electricity for 25 to 35 years or more, with panel efficiency gradually declining over time.

While certain components, such as inverters and batteries, may need to be replaced over the life of the system, your overall solar investment is designed for long-term performance.

At SunVena Solar, your system is backed by our industry-leading 25-year comprehensive guarantee. This includes coverage for equipment, labor, roof penetrations, and even system production. If your system does not produce the promised amount of energy, we pay you the difference in cash.

This means you can go solar with confidence, knowing your system is built to last and fully protected for decades.

Yes. We engineer and install every system specifically to withstand Florida’s extreme weather, including hurricane-force winds. Our in-house installation team follows Florida’s building codes and wind load requirements on every single job.

Solar panels absorb sunlight and convert the light energy into usable electricity for your home. For more information on this process, click here.

Solar panels can still generate electricity even when the sun is not at its brightest.

Not with solar alone. For the safety of utility crews, grid-tied solar systems shut off during an outage. To keep power on, add battery backup such as Tesla Powerwall or Enphase batteries, which can power your selected circuits and recharge from your panels during the day.

Solar power, like other renewable energy resources, has many environmental and health benefits. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change and also results in fewer air pollutants like sulfur dioxide and particulate matter, which can cause health problems.
