Solar Installation in Central Florida
Full solar panel installation coordinated with your roofing project. One contractor, one warranty conversation, one accountable team.
Solar Installation Done Properly
Most solar warranty disputes — and most solar-related leaks — come down to how the panels were attached to the roof. Penetrations need proper flashing. The right sealants matter. The installer has to understand the roof system underneath, not just the racking system above. Sun State Solar and Roofing handles both — through Joe's certified solar consultant relationship with the Powur platform plus our state-certified roofing contractor license (CCC1334700).
Through Powur our customers get top-tier panel manufacturers, premium microinverter and string inverter options, battery backup where wanted, and the financing flexibility (cash, loan, lease/PPA) to make the math work. Sun State handles all the roofing-side coordination — flashing, penetrations, ridge ventilation maintenance, and the workmanship warranty on every penetration we make.
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.

Roof Considerations
- Asphalt shingle — works great with standard mounting hardware. Most common Florida solar roof.
- Tile — requires tile-specific mounting hardware and an installer who understands tile flashing. We're certified for both.
- Standing-seam metal — ideal solar roof. Clamp-on mounting requires zero penetrations.
- Older roofs — if your roof is within ~5 years of needing replacement, we'll recommend reroofing first.
