What every system includes
Built differently — from day one
Every system we install uses Enphase microinverter technology. Here's what that means for your home, your safety, and your long-term returns.
Lifetime revenue-grade monitoring
Every panel monitored individually in real time through the Enphase app. Revenue-grade precision — not rough estimates. You always know exactly what your system is producing.
No dangerous DC circuits
Our Enphase microinverter systems convert to safe AC at each panel — no high-voltage DC running across your roof. Safer for your family, your home, and first responders.
Clean design — no visible wiring
All wiring fully concealed. No exposed conduit snaking across your roofline. Your system looks as intentional and clean as the rest of your home, from the street.
One company, one warranty
We designed it, installed it, and warrant it. No finger-pointing between contractor and manufacturer. One number to call — and Solar Insure backs it all for 30 years regardless.
No sub-contractors — ever
Every contractor is a trained May Electric Solar employee. Never a temp, never a sub. Our name is on every job, and we take that personally.
We live-test the equipment we install
At our Hudson, FL facility we run live test systems for the panels and microinverters we install — vetting equipment under real conditions. We only recommend what we've put to the test ourselves, not what a manufacturer paid us to push.
The highest tier awarded by Enphase — earned through verified installation quality, technical training, and customer satisfaction. Held by May Electric Solar.
Installer certification
The standard most contractors never reach
Enphase's Platinum tier is awarded to a small number of contractors who meet strict thresholds for installation quality, technical training, and customer satisfaction. Our contractor, May Electric Solar, holds this status — and was personally quoted by Enphase at the IQ8 Microinverter launch.

Sarasota solar questions, answered
- How much do solar panels cost in Sarasota?
- It depends on your home's energy use, roof, and whether you add battery backup, so we size every system to what you actually need instead of quoting a flat price. We'll give you a clear, itemized quote at no charge and no obligation.
- Will my solar panels keep working during a power outage?
- Standard grid-tied solar shuts off during an outage for safety. To keep your essentials running through Florida's storm season, we pair your system with Enphase IQ battery backup — as an Enphase Platinum Installer, that's our specialty.
- Are there solar incentives available in Florida?
- Yes. Florida exempts solar equipment from state sales tax and prevents the added home value from raising your property taxes — for homeowners and businesses alike. The federal residential solar tax credit ended at the start of 2026, but the federal commercial solar tax credit is still available through the end of 2026. We'll help you understand exactly what applies to your project.
- Do you use subcontractors?
- No. Every system is designed, permitted, and installed in-house by May Electric Solar, led by a Florida Master Electrician. The team that quotes your job is the team that installs it.
- What warranty comes with your installation?
- Our installations are backed by a 30-year warranty, and we're a Solar Insure partner — so your panels, inverters, and workmanship are covered for the long haul.
- Which areas do you serve?
- We install across the Sarasota region, including Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, and Hillsborough counties.
