The Reality
Tired of Rising Electric Bills and Storm Anxiety?
You should not have to choose between comfort and affordability. And you should not dread every hurricane season wondering if the power will hold.
What most solar companies won’t tell you upfront:
Standard grid-tied solar panels automatically shut off during a power outage — even with the sun shining and your panels working perfectly. Florida law requires this to protect utility workers. Without a battery backup, solar alone provides zero power during a storm. That is why S7 Solar includes battery backup in every solar system we install.
The Problem
- 1Local power company rates keep climbing — $945 million in approved rate increases for 2026 alone
- 2Hurricanes knock out power for days — no A/C, refrigeration, or medical equipment for your family
- 3Gas generators require fuel, constant maintenance, and produce dangerous fumes — not a real long-term solution
The S7 Solar Solution
- Lock in your energy costs for 25+ years with a right-sized solar system
- Battery backup is a backup power system — automatic power the instant the grid goes down, no manual switching
- No fuel, no noise, no dangerous fumes — true energy independence that works in rain, wind, and sunshine

Already have solar but no battery? You have panels on your roof and still lose power when the grid goes down. S7 Solar specializes in adding battery backup to existing solar systems. We also install standalone battery backup for homes that want outage protection without full solar.
Solar Pool Heating
Extend your pool season to year-round comfort with solar thermal heating. Fast installation (often complete in a day), zero operating costs, and payback in as little as 3-5 years.
EV Charger Installation
Charge your electric vehicle at home overnight using your own solar power. S7 Solar installs Level 2 EV chargers for all major vehicles — Tesla, Rivian, Ford, GM, and more. Pair with solar and your fuel cost drops to near zero.
Light Commercial Solar
Reduce your business operating costs with commercial solar. S7 Solar holds both a Solar Contractor license and a General Contractor license (#CGC1530053) — allowing us to handle structural work other solar companies cannot. Federal tax incentives available plus 100% accelerated depreciation in year one. Typical project timeline: 120-180 days.
Solar Panel Installation
Go solar with a custom-designed rooftop system built for your home and energy usage. S7 Solar handles everything from permits to installation, backed by a 25-year performance warranty. Note: we strongly recommend pairing solar with battery backup for full hurricane protection.
Solar Repairs & Maintenance
Is your solar system underperforming? Original installer gone or unresponsive? S7 Solar services all brands and systems in SW Florida — regardless of who installed them. We diagnose and fix inverter failures, wiring problems, and performance issues.
Solar Panel Cleaning
Dirty panels can reduce energy output by 15-25%. Our professional cleaning service removes pollen, bird droppings, salt spray, and debris to restore your system to peak performance.
Solar Inspections
Buying or selling a home with solar? Need an insurance evaluation? Our licensed inspectors provide thorough PV system assessments with detailed reports on condition, performance, and remaining warranty.
You’re Missing Half the System.
Thousands of SW Florida homes have solar panels installed by out-of-town companies — but no battery backup. Every time a hurricane hits, those panels automatically shut off. Your neighbors with batteries keep the lights on. You don’t have to be one of the ones left in the dark.
Works with most existing systems
We assess your current inverter and panels before recommending anything.
Often installed in one to two days
No major disruption. Most retrofits are faster than you think.
Your original installer doesn't matter
We service and upgrade all brands, regardless of who did the original work.
Net metering tip: Your local power company acts as your “battery during the day” — you export excess power and pull it back at night. But during an outage? The grid is gone, net metering is gone, and so is your power. A real battery keeps you self-reliant when the grid can’t.
