Florida Power Services was the only compoany that we interviewed who didn't try to do a bunch of ghimmicky add ons like hot water heater, A/C, foam insulation, pool pump. Devaughn took time to explain there was no way to calculate the savings on those improvements and showed us how the solar savings are calculated. 5 months later we've been thrilled with our power bill at $15.05.

Florida Power Services "The Solar Power Company" were great to work with on a recent service request as a result of a lightning strike. It took a bit of time to get the needed part from the manufacture but once it arrived they scheduled the service visit and completed the repair. Joe was the tech that did the work and in addition to doing a good job he was easy to communicate with (covered several questions I had) and even followed up with me to ask if everything was good a few days later. Thanks for the service guys.read more

A great company to work with! I did a lot of research and spoke with several solar power companies before choosing FPS. I worked with Devaughn, who took the time to explain how everything works and answered all of my questions. I'm a details kind of person, so I asked a lot of questions. He was very patient and always responsive. I worked with Isaac who oversaw the construction work. I challenge anyone to find a better looking installation than what they performed. As I see more and more solar panels being installed around the area, I am 100% glad I went with FPS over other companies.Overall, this has been one of the best experiences working with a company. Great people and great customer service. Most importantly, I have gone several months now with not having to pay an electric bill! I always encourage people to do their own research to determine what's best for them. That being said, I would highly recommend starting with these guys.read more

DeVaughn took the time to fully explain all the intricate details of my system and the way that Net metering works in Tampa. He wasn’t trying to “sell me” as much as he was educating me. His proposal was super detailed and forthright. I couldn’t be happier with my system and experience working with Florida Power Service Solar Company. Highly recommend.

Better quote for a better product than the 4 other vendors I spoke to. Great to work with before and after install. They even helped me resolve an issue with my original builder thanks to their attention to detail. They have since done 2 of my neighbors houses and both of them had the same experience.

Love our solar system. We've been up and running for nine months and I enjoy checking on the app to see how it's doing every day. It's covered our electricity bills thus far and it looks clean and professional on the house. The guys installing it are great and very professional as well. They're very considerate of how things will look when it's done. Great job from an A+ company.

I just had my Solar System Installed by Florida Power Services - The Solar Power Company. Joe and his crew of workers were fantastic in my opinion. They did a very clean install and answered any questions I had. They did not rush the job which is one reason I think it turned out so good. We really like the look of the Solar panels. They are all black including the edges. I would recommend Joe and his team to anybody including my family and friends.read more

Getting solar panels installed was the best thing that I decided to do in 2020. I heard about Florida Power Services "The Solar Power Company" from a friend of mine who just got them installed as well. The staff are great and super friendly!! So accommodating and they make sure to answer any questions you may have. Awesome company that will ensure 100% customer service!

From the no BS approach of the sales staff, through the one day installation and the personal follow-up, FPS is hands down the best company for your solar project. We are confident we have the best quality solar system and that we got it at a great value thanks to Florida Power Services. We felt good about them from our first call all the way through. Highly recommended!

After meeting with several solar companies in Tampa, we ended up moving forward with Florida Power Services - The Solar Power Company because of their professional, straightforward manner in which they do business. There was no haggling or upselling, which some of the other companies did, just a fair price for a superior product. Several friends also chose them and raved about the service after the panels were installed. Very pleased so far!read more

I can't say enough good things about Florida Power Services "The Solar Power Company". After seeing their Google reviews we choose them as one of a few local solar companies to get quotes from. Some of the other companies left us wanting to give up on the idea entirely. We had a virtual consultation from Devaughn and it was night and day from other companies we had talked to. Not only did they come in lower than what other companies had quoted, but they were much more professional. We made the decision to work with FPS and I'm so glad we did. They handled everything start to finish. We didn't have to worry about a single thing. The project was completed even sooner then expected and everything looks amazing, very clean, sleek look! We now have an app that shows us how much power we are producing, how much co2 we have saved the environment and the equivalent to how many trees we have planted. We've already recommended the team to several neighbors who have asked. If you're looking for a solar power company in Tampa that you can depend on, hands down go with these guys, you will be happy you did.read more

From start to finish, Florida Power Services took care of the whole process. Starting with facts on solar energy, pros/challenges and were absolutely no pressure in terms of sales.

When i was looking for a new home about 8 years ago, I wanted a house I could go totally solar on. I saw the solar technology changing constantly, evolving & getting more expensive! This year, I did my research looking for the best solar power company in florida and I found Joe and his team. Joe worked out all the details and we were able to get started with no money out of pocket. New solar panels are now on my roof! Joe, all the way through the installers & electrician were amazing to work with. I recommend this company to ANYONE looking to go solar!read more

What is there not to like? Cost-neutral monthly, and buying my own power source instead of renting from the electric company. Perfectly-engineered implementation process. The Solar Installation team was courteous, hard-working, and experienced. Make the switch and start soaking up the sun! Florida Power Services "The Solar Power Company" is the best in Tampa, probably all of Florida!

Lisa Coleman

They provided a proposal that I found impossible to refuse, and followed through with a design, financing, and installation process that was the most hassle-free service I've ever had provided by a contractor. Top-shelf service!

They took care of everything for us- we never had to talk with anyone from the city or electric company. DeVaugn and Florida Power Services took care of all of the details very well. The install crew was very professional and efficient. They survived pouring rain and did the whole solar install in about 8 hours.read more

I can not say enough about the company, and the panels. I’m a fan boy. I love the panels, love the free energy, love the super clean install. The install day went super smoothly. Best of all was communications with Florida Power Services of Tampa. They have been incredibly responsive all throughout the process, and even now - 6 months later. I can’t recommend these folks enough.

Working with Florida Power Services "The Solar Power Company" we now have a dream come true; Healthy, energy efficient & electrical generating home:) I interviewed 3 other companies in Tampa and FPS was our choice. They have a great team, informative, responsive and capable. In one day they installed the 30 panels, did minor electrical upgrades and the controls. Once the solar panels were installed Joe Forest the owner, visited our "Health Home". We really appreciate his integrity and grateful he has built a company that is making a difference in this day & age of changing climate. He has trained his team to provide a much needed service in a professional and caring manner. Florida Power Services of Tampa Rocks!read more

Working with Florida Power Services ''The Solar Power Company' has been a delight from start to finish--their analysis of our needs was detailed and easy to understand, the cost of the system was highly competitive, and installation went off without a hitch. Communication has been consistently clear, and it's been easy to get answers to any questions we had. Best of all, we're now generating our own electricity! I always knew this would have environmental benefits, but it wasn't until we investigated in detail that I realized what economic sense it made. This is a system that will bring us benefits for decades to come.read more

From my first contact with the company to the final conversation regarding system software integration, each individual was pleasant and helpful.

Florida Power Services "The Solar Power Company" is awesome to work with! Their pricing is great and their warranty is the best in the business!!

I've had my system for 8 years now and I'm a very happy solar customer! Joe always answers his phone and is so quick to provide the information I'm in search of.

If more businesses functioned like Joe and Florida Power Services The Solar Power Company, the world would be a much better place. Thank you guys for everything!

It was great working with Florida Power Services "The Solar Power Company". Having solar panels is piece of mind. The sales process was efficient and helpful, making it easy to understand.

I can't say enough good things about Joe and Florida Power Services. In my opinion, they are the best solar power company in Tampa Bay. From the beginning to the end, they were nothing but professional. They always showed up for appointments, they were extremely responsive to my questions and concerns. I had gotten numerous estimates for my solar panels and battery and found at least half of the companies I dealt with didn't call back or didn't even bother showing up. Florida Power Services made the whole process easy, they were the first to provide a quote and also provide the best value for quality equipment used. From getting the permits to coming up with the plan to the installation to the post-install follow up, The guys at Florida Power Services did an amazing job!!! I believe solar is the way to go and Joe with Florida Power Services is the guy you need to talk to!read more

We had a bad experience with another solar company that started our project and then went bankrupt before it was finished. Joe with Florida Power was willing to work with us to complete the job. We were understandably nervous, but Joe was patient and kind, taking his time to answer all our questions. He was the one person we interviewed who didn't seem the least bit salesy, but instead seemed to really care about his work. After we signed a contract with him, he had the panels delivered, installed and inspected in a week! He communicated openly the whole time and did exactly as he said he would. The installers did a great job and everything turned out perfectly. We only wish we had found Florida Power Services the first time. We would absolutely recommend them to everyone, as it was a pleasure working with them.read more

From day 1 working with Joe and Florida Power Service was easy and one of the best decisions we made. He worked around our schedules to set up phone calls so that we were both available to ask questions. Being new to getting solar on our house we obviously had a lot of questions and he was able to answer every one of them all without making us feel like we were stupid or were asking dumb questions. Even if we would send him a question via email he was very quick to respond and did not make it seem like it was a hassle for him. One thing that we really liked about working with them is that the price they gave us was the price for everything for the length of financing contract. Other companies that we received estimates from would give us one price but that came with the stipulation that we put whatever tax credit we would receive towards the loan or the monthly payments would go up. They showed up on time, were extremely courteous and clean. They made sure that when they were done for the day that things were not just lying around in the yard or on the roof. If they had to come inside for anything they first knocked and made sure they either brushed their feet off or changed their shoes. We had a slight problem getting our inverters to connect to our wifi and instead of leaving when everyone would've Joe's brother stayed until almost 8 on a Friday night trying to get it all set up for us. Joe stayed with us throughout the entire process of us going live and coordinated everything Teco needed in order to get us up and running. As I stated before working with Joe made everything super easy and in just over a month (most of that time consisted of us having to wait for TECO to get our new meter) we are now running our entire house on solar. We are extremely grateful for all the hard work that Joe and Florida Power Service put in and highly recommend using them for any solar needs!read more

I could tell you about the incredible service, workmanship, and price. I could tell you about the expertise and knowledge that Joe demonstrates the first time you meet him. However, what you really need to know, is before you sign with some other company, you owe it to yourself to talk to Joe.

Joe installed our Enphase solar system in 2015; the system works perfect and my energy bill was reduced 65%! Joe's installation was top notch, and the very few times I called for support (usually after a storm knocked out the router) Joe helped me get everything back to normal in no time. I highly recommend FPS - great system, expert installation, flawless performance!

Install went well with no problems and no delays. Joe and his crew showed up when they said they would. Total price of materials/labor was good and much cheaper than the Vivint and Solar City groups. Installed about 9mos ago, and still working well with no issues.

Great experience with Florida Power Services. We had gotten our first quote from another contractor and we just about scrapped the whole idea of getting solar. Then we had Joe come out and told him we wanted a ground mount system that could double as a carport and he gave us a great price and a plan with the estimate. It didn't hurt that you get 30% tax rebate on a system this year. Joe and crew came out on a Tuesday and put in the necessary hours needed and got it done that Friday. The only wait time is TECO swapping out the meter. We are happy with the install and it's addicting watching the meter and the power the system is producing on the the app. Thanks Joe!read more

Our Solar Edge system was damaged during an electrical storm and our original installer Guardian Solar were not responsive. I put calls out to various vendors recommended by Solar Edge and Joe was the first to promptly respond and get to our site to investigate. Joe was incredible knowledgeable, thorough and diligent in diagnosing the fault and then spend hours on the phone with Solar Edge arranging a replacement inverter under warranty. We are back in business generating power thanks to Joe. I would highly recommend Joe to any person looking for assistance with designing, installing and maintaining a solar system.read more

Florida Power Services recently finished installing our 11.6 K solar system and we cranked it up last week. I have worked with contractors in a field other than solar power and gone through detailed bid procedures. We didn’t do that in this case but we were looking for the same thing we always do in more rigorous bidding processes and that is, finding the least-cost-competent contractor. The simple translation for that term is, “Best Bang for the Buck.”We found that with this company. The owner, Joe Forest, is very direct and honest in his dealings and will let you know what he thinks is the best solution to your energy-producing requirements. I received a detailed quote and checked that, along with what Joe told me about the system components and projected performance. Everything I was told checked out and we got the process started. From there, we immediately received engineering drawings and paperwork for permits and within a week, work began. The installation crew, including the owner have obviously done a few of these and there was an efficient, coordinated effort resulting in a clean, finished product in two days. The panels look sharp and all conduit, inverter boxes and other hardware reflect a top professional installation. Upon completion, the crew took aerial shots of the house and solar hardware via drone and sent us a picture from above showing the finished product.We could not be happier with the entire process and result and give Florida Power Services our highest recommendation.read more
