Orlando’s Award-Winning Solar Installation Company

Look for an Orlando solar company with local crews, verifiable reviews and a written production guarantee. SunVena Solar is headquartered in Sanford, installs with in-house crews rather than subcontractors, and holds a 4.9 out of 5 Google rating from more than 2,000 reviews. It is ranked #1 in Top 100 Solar Installers in Orlando, FL for 2021 to 2026 by SolarReviews and won Gold for Best Solar Company in the 2026 Orlando’s Best awards.

Only for systems approved before the change. OUC customers whose systems were connected or approved by June 30, 2025 keep full retail-rate crediting through June 30, 2045. For OUC systems interconnected on or after July 1, 2025, OUC credits exported energy at its Community Solar Energy rate from November 1, 2026 through June 30, 2030, and at its Retail Levelized Fuel rate after that, both below the retail price. A home battery lets you use more of your own solar instead of exporting it at the lower rate.

Yes. Duke Energy Florida must follow Florida’s net metering rules: it credits the solar energy you send to the grid against the energy you buy, carries unused credits forward month to month, and pays for any credits left at the end of the calendar year at its avoided-cost rate. Most Orlando suburbs are Duke Energy Florida territory.

It depends on your address. The City of Orlando permits homes inside city limits, Orange County permits unincorporated areas, and Seminole County, Osceola County and the suburban cities permit homes in their own jurisdictions. SunVena’s in-house team prepares the engineering, pulls the permit, schedules inspections and handles the utility interconnection for you.

No. Florida Statute 163.04 prohibits HOAs and deed restrictions from banning solar panels. Your HOA can require an architectural review and choose where the panels go, but only within the orientation the law protects (south-facing or within 45 degrees east or west of due south) and not in a way that impairs performance. Read our guide to HOA solar rules in Florida.

No. Florida Statute 193.624 exempts residential renewable energy equipment, including solar panels, from property tax assessment, so adding solar does not raise your home’s assessed value for tax purposes. Solar equipment is also exempt from Florida sales tax under Florida Statute 212.08(7)(hh).

Not on a system you buy in 2026. The 30% federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (Section 25D) ended for systems installed after December 31, 2025. Leased systems can still carry federal savings under Section 48E if they are installed and operating by December 31, 2027. Tax situations vary, so confirm eligibility with a tax professional and see our federal solar tax credit guide.

It depends on your utility, your usage and your roof, which is why SunVena models your savings on your utility’s actual credit rate before you sign. Florida’s property-tax and sales-tax exemptions still apply. Every SunVena system also carries a 25-year production guarantee: if it produces less than the kWh promised in your proposal, SunVena pays you the difference in cash.

Every SunVena system carries a 25-year comprehensive guarantee covering equipment, labor, roof penetrations and production. The production guarantee is paid in cash if your system produces less than the kWh in your proposal. See the SunVena Solar guarantee.
