How to reach you

This form does not authorize automated or prerecorded marketing calls or texts. If a future installer requires separate seller-specific consent, that consent will identify the seller before you agree. Installation proposals, contracts, permitting and installation are handled by an independent appropriately licensed Florida contractor, not by S&C Marketing Solutions. Privacy details.

A better first step than a generic “free solar quote.”

Solar economics and project readiness depend on more than sunlight. The roof, electric usage, utility territory, battery goals and project timing all affect what should happen next.

1

Home + utility

We capture the address area, utility, ownership and electric-bill range so the inquiry starts with the right local context.

2

Roof readiness

Roof age, material and shading help separate “ready for design” from projects that may need roofing coordination first.

3

Solar + storage goals

Battery interest and project timing help identify whether the conversation is mostly about bill offset, resilience, or both.

4

Licensed handoff

If installation is appropriate, a verified, appropriately licensed Florida provider must handle the proposal, permits, contract and work; S&C does not install solar.

What it does not do.

The fit check is a lead-prioritization and project-readiness tool. It does not approve financing, guarantee production, guarantee savings, determine tax eligibility, or replace an installer’s site survey and written proposal.

•No guaranteed monthly savings claim
•No claim of utility endorsement or affiliation
•No assumption that an old federal homeowner credit still applies
•No financing decision based on the marketing score

Will solar help with your high Tampa Bay electric bill?

Possibly—but the useful question is how much of your annual electricity use a realistic rooftop system could offset after equipment, financing, roof conditions and utility rules are included. A high summer bill by itself does not establish your savings.

1. Read annual usage, not just the dollar total

Find your last 12 months of kilowatt-hour (kWh) use. Air-conditioning and seasonal weather often make Tampa-area usage uneven. Separate household consumption from basic service fees, taxes and temporary charges that panels may not eliminate.

Tampa Electric: understand bill charges.

2. Verify your electric utility

Tampa Electric (TECO) and Florida Power & Light (FPL) administer their own solar interconnection processes. Do not assume a comparison from one utility applies to another or that an installer is endorsed by your utility.

3. Check the roof before projecting savings

Shade, roof direction, roof condition and usable space influence energy output. A roof approaching replacement age may change the order of work. Independent roof review and an installer-produced site design are more useful than a generic online savings percentage.

Local billing example: Tampa Electric lists a residential bill of $156.43 for 1,000 kWh as of August 2026, including multiple charges. It is an example of billing structure, not a quoted savings amount; rates and household use can change. Check TECO's current rate page.

What should a useful Solar Fit Review deliver?

  • Identify your utility, ZIP, bill range and whether an annual kWh analysis is needed.
  • Surface roof-age, shade and battery considerations before quoting payback.
  • Explain next steps without guaranteed savings, an unverified installer relationship or claims that your electric bill becomes zero.

Check my home's solar fit

Common questions before a solar review.

Do I need a new roof before solar?

Not always. Roof age, condition, material and remaining useful life matter. If the roof is near replacement age, coordinating roofing before or with solar can avoid paying later to remove and reinstall panels.

Will solar keep my house powered during an outage?

Ordinary grid-tied solar is typically designed to shut down when the grid is down. Backup operation generally requires appropriately designed battery storage and islanding/transfer equipment. The installer should explain exactly what loads a proposed system can support.

Can you tell me exactly how much I will save?

Not from a marketing form. A useful estimate needs actual usage, system design, equipment, financing terms if any, and the current rules for your utility. We do not guarantee a savings number before those inputs are known.

Is S&C the solar installer?

No. S&C Marketing Solutions operates the marketing and lead-routing system. Installation proposals, contracts, permits and installation must be handled by an appropriately licensed Florida installation provider.
