Tampa solar built around TECO bills (not a generic pitch)
Tampa summers mean long AC runtimes. Solar shines when your panels produce during those same daylight hours — so a properly sized system can offset a large share of daytime usage before you ever touch a battery.
With TECO (and Florida’s broader net-metering framework for investor-owned utilities), eligible excess generation can earn bill credits under your utility’s program. Details, interconnection steps, and true-up rules belong to the utility — we walk you through your tariff instead of promising a mythical “zero bill.”
We will not invent a savings percentage for every Tampa home. Your usage, roof, shading, and rate schedule drive the model. That is the only honest way to do this.
What PowerSol installs for Tampa homeowners
Rooftop solar
Custom-designed arrays for Hillsborough homes — flat concrete tile, barrel tile, and shingle alike. We plan around production, aesthetics, and how you actually use power (including pool pumps and work-from-home loads).
Full-home battery backup
Florida weather makes backup a practical conversation. Options we discuss when they fit your goals include Tesla Powerwall, FranklinWH, and Canadian Solar EP Cube. Solar alone lowers bills; batteries add nighttime use and outage resilience when designed correctly.
EV chargers
Home Level 2 charging — including Tesla Wall Connector installs — so more of your driving energy can come from your roof over time. We can start with charging only, or plan solar + storage + charger as one system.
Tampa neighborhoods and nearby cities we serve
From South Tampa and Hyde Park to Carrollwood, Westchase, New Tampa, Seminole Heights, and beyond — plus nearby communities many of our customers call home:
- Brandon

See our broader list on Service Areas (we are expanding that page — Tampa is home base, not “Cherry Hill”).
Geography note: PowerSol serves much of Florida (Tampa Bay through Orlando, the Space Coast, Port St. Lucie, Naples, and north toward Ocala/Gainesville). We do not serve Miami-Dade, Broward, or the Panhandle.
Tile roofs, permits, and real timelines
Many Tampa homes sit under concrete or clay tile. Solar on tile is absolutely doable — it just needs the right racking approach and a crew that will not rush flashings.
Crew time on site for many residential installs is often about one to two days once permits and materials are ready. Total project time (design → permits → utility paperwork → inspection → permission to operate) is longer. We set that expectation up front — no bait-and-switch “installed tomorrow” theater.
Storms, batteries, and peace of mind
Bill savings and backup are related but not the same goal. If your priority is lowering the TECO bill, we can lead with solar. If you want lights, refrigeration, and critical loads through an outage, we size storage around what you actually need — not a fear pitch.
Ask us about whole-home vs essential-load backup. We will tell you the tradeoffs in plain English. For a closer look at whole-home resilience, see our full-home battery backup in Florida guide.
2026 incentives — accurate, not salesy
Federal residential tax credit: For most homeowners buying a new system in 2026, the old 30% federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (§25D) is not available. IRS guidance on Public Law 119-21 states it does not apply to expenditures made after December 31, 2025. Carryforwards from older installs are a question for your tax advisor.
Florida advantages commonly still in play (we confirm for your project):
- Sales-tax exemption on qualifying solar equipment/components
- Property-tax exclusion for value added by a qualifying renewable energy device
No invented rebates. No fake “limited-time 30%” countdown on this page.

Tampa solar FAQ
How much does solar cost in Tampa?
It depends on system size, roof type, equipment, and whether you add a battery or EV charger. We provide a home-specific proposal after reviewing your usage — we do not publish made-up “average Tampa prices” on this page.
Will solar work with my TECO bill?
Yes — that is the point of a usage-based design. You typically remain a TECO customer for nights, clouds, and any usage beyond what your system covers. The goal is a smaller energy charge, not a magic disappearance of the utility.
Do I need a battery?
Only if your goals include nighttime self-use or backup. Many Tampa homeowners start with solar and add storage later; others do both at once. We will say which path fits you.
Is PowerSol only in Tampa?
Tampa is home base. We also serve a wide Florida footprint outside Miami-Dade, Broward, and the Panhandle. Ask about your ZIP.
Is there still a 30% federal solar tax credit?
Not for most new residential purchases in 2026. See the incentives section above and confirm with your CPA.
Can I visit before I buy?
Yes — that is one reason we maintain walk-in Tampa-area locations. Meet the team, ask hard questions, see equipment.
