Add Solar & Electrical LLC

Solar + Electrical Expertise, One Team

A solar system involves more than panels on a roof — it must be safely connected to your electrical panel, inverter, and disconnect switches, and it has to meet FPL interconnection requirements. As a licensed Florida electrical contractor (EC13010894), we handle the wiring, code compliance, and electrical integration ourselves instead of subcontracting it out, and we have direct experience with Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach permitting.

We also stay available after installation for troubleshooting, maintenance, system checks, and upgrades — unlike solar sales companies that disappear once the panels are up.

We install and repair solar systems in Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Kendall, Doral, Hialeah, Miami Gardens, North Miami, and Homestead, as well as Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and West Palm Beach.

Solar Panel Repair for Existing Systems

SOLAREDGE · ENPHASE · SMA

Many solar companies in South Florida have gone out of business, and others only focus on new sales — leaving homeowners with systems nobody will service. We repair and maintain solar systems no matter who installed them. As licensed electricians, we diagnose the whole system — panels, inverters, wiring, breakers, and monitoring — not just the part that shows an error.

Why the installer portal matters

SolarEdge, Enphase, and SMA only show detailed alerts, error logs, and settings through the manufacturer's installer portal. If your original installer is gone, nobody can see what your system is actually reporting. With your authorization, we transfer the system to our installer account so we can read every alert, adjust settings, and diagnose the real cause.

How Our Solar Repair Service Works

THREE STEPS
01

Site Visit & System Transfer — $450

A licensed technician inspects your panels, inverter, wiring, and breakers on site to find the likely cause of the problem, and we transfer your system into our installer portal so we can read its alerts from the inside.

02

Diagnosis & Repair Quote

With full access to the system data, we confirm the diagnosis and give you a written quote. The repair price depends on the extent of the damage and the parts required, and we help with manufacturer warranty claims when your equipment is still covered.

03

Repair & Free Remote Monitoring

We complete the repair and verify production. Because your system stays connected to our portal, we monitor it remotely at no extra cost and can spot new alerts before they cost you money.

Solar Panel Cleaning & Maintenance

DIRTY GLASS MEANS LOST PRODUCTION

Every solar panel is covered by a layer of tempered glass, and like any glass outdoors, it gets dirty. In South Florida that film builds up fast: traffic pollution, salt spray near the coast, summer Saharan dust, pollen, mildew from the humidity, and bird droppings. Each layer blocks part of the sunlight before it reaches the solar cells, so the panel quietly produces less electricity, month after month, while your FPL bill creeps back up.

Technician cleaning solar panels with purified water in South Florida
✓

Bird droppings and debris shade part of a panel and can create hot spots. On string-inverter systems, one dirty panel can drag down the output of the whole string.

✓

Salt, dust, and pollution leave a haze that is hard to see from the ground but steadily reduces how much light reaches the cells.

✓

Rain is not enough. On low-tilt and flat-roof systems, rain often just spreads the dirt and leaves a residue at the bottom edge of the panel.

✓

Safe cleaning only. We use purified water at low pressure and soft brushes — never high-pressure jets, abrasive tools, or harsh chemicals that can damage the anti-reflective coating or void the warranty.

✓

Inspection included. While we are on the roof, we check mounts, wiring, connectors, and critter guards for early signs of damage.

✓

Monitoring tells us when. For systems in our portal, we track production remotely and let you know when a drop suggests it is time for cleaning or service.

Solar Battery Storage: Tesla Powerwall 3

Pair your solar system with a Tesla Powerwall 3 for automatic backup power when the grid goes down — or install it as a stand-alone battery if you're not ready for solar yet. We design the backup around your home's actual loads, not generic "whole-home" claims.

How Much Does Solar Installation Cost in Miami?

TYPICAL RANGE, SUBJECT TO SITE EVALUATION

The cost of a solar system depends on system size, roof type, energy consumption, electrical panel condition, inverter type, battery options, permitting requirements, and any electrical upgrades needed. Every system is custom-designed around your FPL bill.

Solar incentives in Florida in 2026

The federal 30% residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) ended for systems installed after December 31, 2025. Florida homeowners still benefit from:

  • No state sales tax on solar equipment.
  • A property tax exemption, so adding solar does not raise your assessed home value.
  • FPL net metering, which credits the energy you send to the grid against your bill.

Solar Panel Installation FAQs

COMMON QUESTIONS FROM MIAMI HOMEOWNERS
How much does solar panel installation cost in Miami?

Most residential systems in Miami range from about $15,000 to $30,000, depending on system size, energy usage, roof type, equipment, permitting, and any electrical upgrades. We give you a custom quote based on your FPL bill.

Is solar still worth it in Miami without the federal tax credit?

For many homeowners, yes, but it depends on your energy use, roof, and budget. The federal residential credit ended in 2025, while Florida sales tax and property tax exemptions and FPL net metering remain. We calculate your expected savings from your actual bill before you decide.

Do you repair solar systems installed by other companies?

Yes. We repair and maintain SolarEdge, Enphase, and SMA systems, among others, including systems whose original installer is no longer in business. Common repairs include inverter faults, failed optimizers or microinverters, monitoring that stopped reporting, and storm or critter damage.

How much does a solar repair cost?

The first step is a $450 site visit, which includes the on-site inspection and transferring your system to our installer portal so we can read its alerts and diagnose the problem. After the diagnosis, the repair price depends on the extent of the damage and the parts required. Once your system is in our portal, remote monitoring is included at no extra cost.

How often should solar panels be cleaned in Miami?

It depends on where you live. Homes near the coast, busy roads, construction, or trees collect salt, dust, pollen, and bird droppings faster. For most South Florida homes we recommend a cleaning and inspection once or twice a year, or sooner when monitoring shows production dropping.

Will my solar panels work during a power outage?

A standard grid-tied system shuts down during an outage for safety, so utility crews are not exposed to power from your panels. To keep power on, the system needs a battery such as a Tesla Powerwall 3 or another compatible backup system.

Do I need permits for solar panel installation in Miami-Dade?

Yes. Solar installations require permits and inspections, plus FPL interconnection approval. We manage the permitting process and code-compliance requirements for you.

How long does solar panel installation take?

The physical installation often takes 1 to 4 days depending on system size and roof type. Permitting, inspections, and utility approval add additional time.

Can you install solar panels if my electrical panel needs an upgrade?

Yes. As a licensed electrical contractor, we evaluate your electrical panel and handle the upgrade when it is needed for safe solar integration.

Do you install solar panels for commercial properties?

Yes. We install solar systems for residential and commercial properties across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County.
