"Solar is over producing and we are saving $$$ !! Thank you to the Solar Bear team for working with me during the installation."

Solar Bear is a Licensed Florida Solar Contractor #EC13006630 . This utility data and system modeling has been reviewed for 2026 grid compliance and rate accuracy.
Your solar panels do more than just lower your monthly bill. With a reliable solar backup battery, you can capture excess energy during the day to power your home through Central Florida’s unpredictable storm seasons, regional grid outages, and rising Duke Energy or SECO Energy peak rates.
Storms and other hazards can cause power outages that can last for days.
This energy is stored in your backup battery which you can use when you decide to.
Be prepared during storms and outages, save money, and use green energy.
Southwest Florida residents are facing the largest cumulative rate increase in state history. While FPL implements its historic $7 billion base rate plan, LCEC customers are also seeing increased "Power Cost Adjustments" (PCA) as local infrastructure struggles to keep pace with Lee County's rapid growth.
Our smart battery backup acts as a personal "energy vault." By capturing free sunshine during the day and discharging it during high-demand afternoon hours, you can bypass the grid entirely during peak billing windows, effectively "opting out" of the newest utility surcharges.
You transition from a volatile monthly expense to a fixed-cost asset. By generating and storing your own power, you protect your household from the next decade of approved utility hikes and ensure your energy costs remain predictable for the next 30 years.
Your high-efficiency solar hardware is protected against manufacturing defects, material failures, or physical degradation for three decades.
We provide a long-term performance "betting agreement" that ensures your panels will continue to generate a specified percentage of their original power output for 25 years.
We stand behind the quality of our labor by covering any issues related to the physical installation, wiring, or mounting of your system for a full quarter-century.
Water-tight protection guaranteed for 10 years on all roof penetrations.

“Solar Bear was willing to communicate with FPL directly when application issues came up.”
Adam’s install proves our multi-utility strength. In the Four Corners region where grid ownership changes block-by-block, having a team that bypasses the customer service wait and speaks to FPL or Duke engineers directly is the Solar Bear advantage.
“Blown away by the first meeting with Gabe Pimentel to the customer service from Brittany.”
Jacinto's experience proves the strength of our Central Florida operating bench. We manage the handoff from design to Duke Energy turn-on without the standard industry delays.
Four Corners presents a unique challenge: your neighbor might be in Orange County with Duke Energy, while you are in Polk County with FPL. Most solar companies use a single permitting template that gets rejected when it hits the wrong building department. Solar Bear uses a Quad-County Permitting Protocol, ensuring your system is engineered specifically for your exact county and utility grid requirements. As Adam C. verified, we communicate with the utility directly to clear interconnection hurdles that leave other installers stuck for months.

Our team installs solar panels on virtually any type of roof so you can take advantage of our limitless solar energy source in the Sunshine State:
Reputation in the solar industry is built on a foundation of expertise, reliability, and long-term customer support. While there are many national companies like Sunrun or SunPower, and local ones like PES Solar, the most reputable company for you is one that offers certified expertise, premium products, and a rock-solid warranty. Solar Bear stands apart as Florida's premier dual-certified solar and roofing contractor. This unique qualification, combined with our long-term W2 employees and an industry-leading 30-year warranty that covers your panels, ensures a level of accountability and quality that other solar contractors simply cannot match. True reputability means having a local partner who stands behind their work for decades to come.
The "20% rule" often refers to utility company policies, like those from Duke Energy or Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA), regarding system sizing for net metering. Generally, these policies state that a residential solar energy system cannot be designed to produce more than 115% or 120% of the home's previous year's energy consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh). This is to prevent homeowners from becoming small-scale power plants. At Solar Bear, our solar system design process includes a detailed analysis of your past energy usage to create a system that maximizes your savings and ROI while strictly adhering to all local utility and net metering regulations. We ensure your system is perfectly optimized for your needs and fully compliant.
This is a common concern that usually stems from one of a few issues: an undersized system, a significant increase in your home's energy consumption, malfunctioning equipment like solar inverters, or changes in your utility's net metering program. This is precisely why choosing a reliable, long-term partner is critical. Solar Bear proactively prevents these issues by providing every customer with advanced system performance monitoring. You can see your panel production in real-time. Furthermore, our comprehensive 25-year production warranty ensures that if any component underperforms, we are there to service it promptly, protecting your investment and ensuring you receive the energy savings you were promised.
The Florida Solar Rights Act is a powerful piece of legislation that protects your right to generate your own clean energy. It states that a homeowner's association (HOA) or other governing body cannot outright prohibit the installation of solar panels or other renewable energy devices. While they can establish reasonable restrictions on placement and aesthetics, they cannot prevent you from going solar. Our team at Solar Bear is well-versed in this act and has extensive experience working with HOAs across Central Florida. We manage all the necessary paperwork, including solar permitting and HOA applications, to ensure your installation process is smooth, compliant, and hassle-free.
