"Victor and Jacob were involved in my installation of my ground-mount and batteries — those guys worked very hard and did a great job."
Full ground-mount solar system with battery backup, handled from install to activation. Victor and Jacob led the crew on a complex job, and Will completed the exit survey and system hand-off — every step accounted for by a named Solar Bear team member.
"I waited until I received my first Duke bill after system was turned on — I am thoroughly impressed."
Tom walked through the system design in person; Brittany kept communication consistent throughout the project; Hugo got the system connected and explained the Enphase app from top to bottom. The result: a verifiably eliminated Duke Energy electric bill on the first cycle after activation.
"Tom, Brittany, the Blue Team install crew and Hugo were all very helpful — our system is on and saving us $$$!"
Tom led the solar consultation; Brittany managed the project from contract to commissioning; the Blue Team install crew completed the physical work; Hugo activated the system and walked the homeowners through monitoring — a full named-handoff from first call to first savings.
"Very rarely can you say a process could not have gone better — this is one of those times."
After a stressful experience with a previous solar company, this homeowner was braced for disappointment. Instead: Gabe Pimentel's first meeting was an eye-opener; Brittany Walsh's customer service was flawless throughout; and Jasel Maldonado's final service call closed the loop. Professional and committed at every stage of the Central Florida lifecycle.
Here in Central Florida, power outages are not a matter of 'if', but 'when'. Between hurricane season, aging infrastructure, and increasing demand on the power grid, families across Orange County, Seminole County, and Osceola County are left vulnerable. A sudden loss of power means no AC in the sweltering Florida heat, spoiled food, no way to charge devices, and a disruption to your life. For those with medical needs, it's a critical safety concern. This is where a modern backup power solution becomes essential.
At Solar Bear, we specialize in providing homeowners from Winter Haven and Kissimmee to Sanford, Winter Garden, and Apopka, FL, with true energy independence. We move beyond outdated, noisy generators. Our focus is on state-of-the-art home battery storage and energy storage solutions that integrate perfectly with your home's electrical system, providing instant, quiet, and clean backup power the moment you need it. We are not just a solar power company; we are your partners in securing a resilient and sustainable energy future for your home.

Our core service is the design and installation of robust whole-home battery backup systems. This is the ultimate power outage protection. When the grid fails, an automatic transfer switch instantly and seamlessly shifts your home's power source to your stored energy. We are certified installers for the industry's leading batteries, including the Tesla Powerwall, Generac PWRcell, Enphase Encharge, LG Chem RESU, Sonnen, FranklinWH, and Q CELLS storage systems. Our expert team performs a detailed home energy audit and analysis of your needs to ensure proper battery system sizing, providing enough kilowatt-hour (kWh) capacity to run your essential appliances—or your entire home—for as long as you need. This is the key to true hurricane preparedness and peace of mind.
Combine your battery with a high-efficiency solar panel installation to create your own personal power plant. Our solar and battery storage solutions allow you to generate, store, and use your own clean energy, dramatically reducing your reliance on utility companies like OUC (The Reliable One), Duke Energy, or Florida Power & Light (FPL). We design custom grid-tied solar systems that leverage Florida's generous net metering policies, allowing you to earn credits for the excess power your panels produce. By adding solar, you're not just getting backup power; you're creating a long-term asset that lowers your electric bills, making your investment in renewable energy systems even more affordable.
Modern energy needs require a modern electrical foundation. As a licensed electrical contractor, our services extend to crucial electrical upgrades. We provide professional EV charger installation, allowing you to conveniently power your electric vehicle at home with clean solar energy. Many homes, especially older ones, require an electrical panel upgrade to safely handle the demands of a solar panel array, home battery storage, or a Level 2 EV charger. Our team of licensed electrician professionals ensures your entire system is safe, efficient, and up to code, providing comprehensive residential electrical services that support your transition to a cleaner energy lifestyle.
Your home is your most significant investment, and you shouldn't trust its power systems to just anyone.

A solar backup battery stores excess energy generated by your solar panels, so your Orlando home can use power during outages or at night. It works seamlessly with your existing solar system to keep lights, appliances, and electronics running reliably.
Yes! By storing energy when your panels produce more than you use, a battery lets you draw from stored power during peak utility rates. This reduces your dependence on the grid and can significantly lower your monthly electric bills.
Most solar batteries, like Enphase IQ or Tesla Powerwall, are designed to last 10–15 years or more, even in Florida’s hot, humid climate. With proper installation and minimal maintenance, they provide long-term energy reliability for your home.
Depending on your energy needs and battery size, it’s possible to power your entire home during outages. Solar Bear can help assess your home’s usage and recommend a backup battery setup that ensures critical systems stay powered.
Absolutely. Modern batteries use low-voltage or lithium iron phosphate technology, which is highly stable and safe. They’re built to handle Florida weather, including heat and humidity, while providing reliable backup energy when you need it.
Yes, off-grid power systems are legal in Florida, but they must comply with all local Orange County and municipal building codes. For most homeowners in urban areas like Orlando, a grid-tied with battery backup system offers the best of both worlds: daily savings, grid services, and reliable backup power without disconnecting completely from the utility.
A 10kWh battery is an excellent starting point and can typically run essential appliances—like your refrigerator, lights, medical equipment, and internet—for several hours. However, it likely won't power your entire home, especially central air conditioning, for an extended period. System sizing and design should be based on a detailed analysis of your family's specific energy needs during an outage.
