Expert Solar in Florida Shuts Down

If you’re a homeowner who relied on Expert Solar in Florida for your solar system, you may have noticed their website is down and their phone lines are unresponsive. 

Based on reports from industry professionals and these clear signs, it appears Expert Solar has ceased operations. This unexpected closure may leave you wondering about the future of your solar system. 

Expert Solar entered the solar industry in 2020, focusing primarily on the Tampa, Florida area. Before transitioning to solar installations, the company operated as an electrical contracting business, bringing electrical expertise to their solar projects. Despite their experience, Expert Solar’s recent closure has left many Tampa-area homeowners without support for their solar systems.

This article explains what Expert Solar’s closure means for you and how SolarDetect by Solar Insure can step in to keep your solar system running smoothly.

Why Has Expert Solar Closed?

The solar industry is facing difficult times. Proposed policy changes, like the potential rollback of the 30% federal tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act and higher interest rates, have increased financial pressures on solar companies. 

These challenges have led to a wave of closures, leaving homeowners with unsupported or underperforming systems. Expert Solar’s offline website and disconnected phone lines suggest they’ve joined this group, leaving customers without their original installer’s support.

What Does This Mean for Your Solar System?

Expert Solar’s closure could impact you in several ways:

• System Performance Issues: Without regular maintenance, your solar panels or inverters may fail, reducing energy savings or leaving your system non-functional.
• Warranty Challenges: Expert Solar is no longer operational, and processing workmanship warranty claims for faulty installations could be nearly impossible.
• Financial Concerns: You might still be paying off a loan for a system that’s not working properly, with no clear path to repairs or support.

These issues can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. Many Florida homeowners are facing similar challenges, and there’s a trusted solution to help you regain control.
