Free Central Florida Solar Consultation
On-site assessment of your roof, energy use, and financing options. Honest answer about whether solar makes sense for your home.
The Honest Solar Conversation
The biggest mistake Florida homeowners make with solar isn't choosing the wrong panel — it's installing solar on a roof that needs replacement first. Removing and re-attaching panels later costs thousands and risks voiding both your roof and solar warranties. That's why a real solar consultation has to start with a real roof assessment, and that's exactly what Sun State Solar and Roofing offers.
Joe McKenna is a certified solar consultant through the Powur platform — giving Sun State customers access to top-tier panel manufacturers, multiple financing options, and the equipment warranties that come with premium systems. As a state-certified roofing contractor (CCC1334700), he'll also tell you straight whether your roof is ready for panels or whether you should reroof first.
Disclosure: Solar electrical work is performed in partnership with our licensed solar contractor partners under the Powur platform. Sun State Solar and Roofing handles all roofing-side work and project coordination.

If your roof is within about 5 years of needing replacement, yes — replace first. Removing and re-attaching panels later is expensive and risks voiding solar warranties.
Owned (not leased) solar systems generally do increase resale value, particularly in markets with high electricity prices. Leased systems are more complicated for resale.
