Florida Power Services Named Tampa Bay’s Best Solar Company for 2026
Florida Power Services “The Solar Power Company” is proud to announce that we have been named the winner of the Best Solar Company category in the 2026 Tampa Bay Times Best of the Best awards.
This reader voted recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects the support of homeowners, businesses, customers, and community members throughout the Tampa Bay area.

A Reader Voted Honor from the Tampa Bay Community
The Tampa Bay Times Best of the Best awards recognize businesses and organizations across a wide range of industries throughout the Tampa Bay area.
The annual contest begins with a public nomination period. Community members then vote for their preferred businesses during a separate voting period. Winners are announced through the Best of the Best website and recognized in a special Tampa Bay Times edition.
Because the results are determined through community participation, being named Tampa Bay’s Best Solar Company is more than an industry award. It represents the time that local customers and community members took to nominate, vote for, and support Florida Power Services.
We are grateful for that support and do not take it for granted.
Serving Tampa Bay Solar Customers Since 2007
Florida Power Services has been serving Florida property owners since 2007. Our founder, Joe Forest, began working in the solar industry in 2002 and later established Florida Power Services to provide specialized photovoltaic solar services throughout Florida.
Unlike companies that offer solar as one of many general home improvement services, our work has remained focused on photovoltaic solar energy and battery storage.
Our team works with residential and commercial property owners throughout Tampa Bay and surrounding Florida communities. We currently serve customers from convenient locations in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Largo, and Bradenton.
As a Florida state certified solar contractor, Florida Power Services brings specialized solar knowledge, field experience, and an understanding of Florida building requirements to every project.
Complete Solar and Battery Storage Services
Florida Power Services provides comprehensive solar and battery services for homes, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and other properties.
Our services include:
• Residential solar system design and installation
• Commercial solar system design and installation
• Battery backup and energy storage systems
• Solar system maintenance and troubleshooting
• Solar panel and inverter repair
• Solar panel removal and reinstallation
• Existing solar system evaluations
• System monitoring assistance
• Solar equipment replacement and upgrades
Every solar project begins with an evaluation of the property, electricity usage, available installation space, and the customer’s energy goals.
Our team then helps guide the customer through system design, engineering, permitting, installation, utility interconnection, inspection, and final commissioning.
Solar Panel Removal and Reinstallation for Roofing Projects
Florida homeowners frequently need to remove existing solar panels before repairing or replacing a roof.
Florida Power Services provides professional solar panel removal and reinstallation services throughout the Tampa Bay area. Our team can coordinate the solar work with the roofing schedule, safely remove the existing equipment, reinstall the system after the roofing work is completed, and test the system before returning it to operation.
Proper removal and reinstallation are important because solar equipment involves electrical connections, roof attachments, waterproofing components, system grounding, and manufacturer specific installation requirements.
Working with an experienced solar contractor helps protect the solar equipment and reduces the risk of performance problems after the roofing project is completed.
Local Solar Experience Matters
Florida solar installations must be designed for the property, electricity usage, roof structure, local building requirements, wind loads, electrical service, utility requirements, and long term energy goals of the customer.
There is no single solar system that is right for every property.
Our team evaluates these factors before recommending a system. We also help customers understand the differences between solar electricity production, utility bill offset, battery backup, financing options, available incentives, and projected long term savings.
The objective is not simply to install solar panels. It is to design a complete energy system that fits the property and the customer’s priorities.

Receiving the 2026 Tampa Bay Times Best of the Best award for Best Solar Company would not have been possible without the continued support of our community.

Most importantly, we thank the homeowners and businesses that have trusted us with their properties and energy needs since 2007.
