TECO rates keep climbing. Your bill doesn't have to.
SunHaven Solar designs, permits, and installs hurricane-rated solar and battery systems across Tampa Bay — with one local crew, no subcontractors, and a 25-year production guarantee.
- $0-down financing and lease options
- Lock in your 20-year 1:1 net-metering agreement
- Engineered for 160+ mph wind zones
One local crew. No subcontractors. No surprises.
The big national installers sell your project to whoever bids lowest. Every SunHaven system is designed, installed, and serviced by our own W-2 crew — the same faces from site survey to final inspection.
Built for your roof, not a spreadsheet
We design around your actual usage, shade, and roof age — and we'll tell you honestly if solar doesn't pencil out for your home.
One warranty covers everything
Panels, inverter, workmanship, and roof penetrations — one 25-year umbrella, one phone number to call, zero finger-pointing.
Local and accountable
Family-owned in Tampa. Our license is on every page, our trucks are in your neighborhood, and our owner answers the phone.
Solar, storage, and everything that connects them.
Rooftop solar systems
Tier-1 black-on-black panels, engineered for Florida wind zones and permitted through your city — we handle every form.
Battery backup
Keep the fridge, AC, and internet running through outages. Sized for your real loads, not a one-size-fits-all box.
EV charging & panel upgrades
Level-2 chargers, main panel upgrades, and re-roof coordination — done in the same project, on the same permit where possible.
When the grid goes down, your house doesn't.
Everyone in Tampa Bay has lived through the dark, hot week after a storm. Solar plus battery means your lights, refrigerator, and AC keep running while the neighborhood waits for line crews.

- Whole-home or essential-loads backupChoose what stays on: the whole house, or the circuits that matter most.
- Automatic switchoverPower flips to battery in milliseconds — most families only notice because the neighbors' lights are off.
Most families start at $0 down.
Own it with a solar loan, or go solar-as-a-service with a lease or PPA — third-party-owned systems still capture federal clean-energy incentives in 2026 and pass the savings through to your rate.
$0-down solar loan
Own the system, fixed monthly payment — often at or below what you currently pay the utility. Florida charges no sales tax on residential solar, and the added home value is exempt from property tax.
Lease / PPA
No upfront cost, no maintenance responsibility — you simply buy the power at a locked, lower rate. The route most Tampa Bay families choose in 2026.
Cash purchase
Best lifetime return and shortest payback. We'll show you the honest math side-by-side with the loan and lease options — no steering.
Net metering won't wait forever. Florida utilities currently credit the solar power you export at the full retail rate — and signing now locks that agreement for 20 years, even if the rules change later. Regulators revisit this regularly. The homeowners who locked in early always win.
From first call to flipping the switch.
Free energy audit
We review your last 12 months of bills and your roof — by phone and satellite first, no salesperson in your living room.
Custom design & quote
Engineering-stamped design, honest production estimate, and every financing option priced side-by-side.
Permits & installation
We pull the permits, coordinate the utility, and install in 1–2 days with our own crew.
Inspection & power on
City inspection, utility interconnection, and your monitoring app — then you watch the meter run backward.
What neighbors say after the first full bill.
"Our June bill went from $311 to $42. The crew was in and out in a day and a half and left the yard cleaner than they found it."
"When the storm knocked out power for four days, our AC never stopped. Best money we've spent on this house."
"No pressure, no door knockers. They showed us the math, told us which option NOT to buy, and earned the job."
Proudly serving Tampa Bay.
Questions every homeowner asks.
What does solar cost in Florida in 2026?
Typical Tampa Bay homes run roughly $18,000–$28,000 before financing — about 10% below the national average — but the honest answer depends on your usage and roof. That's what the free audit is for. Florida waives sales tax on the system and won't raise your property taxes for the added value.
Is the 30% federal tax credit still available?
Not for cash or loan purchases — that credit ended December 31, 2025. Lease and PPA systems still capture federal clean-energy incentives through the system owner, which is passed through as a lower rate. Anyone telling you otherwise in 2026 is reading an old script — and that should tell you something about them.
Will panels survive a hurricane?
Our mounting systems are engineered and permitted to Florida's high-velocity wind zone standards (160+ mph rated hardware) and every attachment is inspected. Panels routinely survive storms that take down the power lines around them — which is exactly when the battery earns its keep.
What happens to my homeowner's insurance?
Rooftop solar is usually covered under your existing dwelling coverage; some carriers ask for a rider or an updated replacement value. We provide the documentation your insurer needs and it's typically a phone call, not a premium shock.
How does net metering work with my utility?
Extra power your panels produce flows to the grid and your utility credits you at the full retail rate, offsetting what you draw at night. Signing your interconnection agreement now locks that arrangement for 20 years even if rules change later.
How long does the whole process take?
Installation itself is 1–2 days. Start to finish — design, permits, install, inspection, utility approval — most projects are producing power in 4–8 weeks.
