Solar Battery Systems
Our solar battery systems provide reliable power during utility outages and support off-grid applications. Designed for durability and efficiency, these systems integrate with solar panels to store excess energy for nighttime or emergencies. Ideal for remote locations and homeowners seeking energy independence, they ensure uninterrupted power supply using advanced lithium-ion technology.
Grid-Tie Solar Systems
Grid-tie solar systems offer seamless integration with utility grids for residential and commercial properties. Ranging from 6KW to 15KW, these systems use high-efficiency panels and inverters to reduce electricity bills while maintaining grid connectivity. They optimize energy consumption through net metering, making them ideal for urban environments and sustainable building projects.
Off-Grid Solutions
Our off-grid solar solutions cater to remote cabins, agricultural needs, and isolated facilities worldwide. Custom-designed systems incorporate solar panels, batteries, and backup generators to ensure continuous power in areas without utility access. These systems are engineered for harsh climates and long-term reliability, supporting energy independence in challenging environments.
Solar Pool Heating
Solar pool heating systems utilize durable Techno Solis panels to extend swimming seasons in Florida's climate. With 35% more insulation than standard models, these panels withstand extreme weather while maximizing thermal efficiency. The systems reduce heating costs by harnessing free solar energy, providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional pool heaters.
Battery Storage Systems
Battery storage systems capture excess solar energy for later use, ensuring power availability during nighttime or cloudy days. Designed with modular scalability, these systems enhance energy efficiency and grid independence. They are particularly beneficial for commercial operations requiring stable power supply and homeowners aiming to maximize solar ROI through reduced utility reliance.

Courteous and dependable service. We are on an off grid farm with a system that works for us even in the summer with ac's running. Simpler Solar worked with us on achieving this goal and with our hurricane damage. Would highly recommend them! Thanks to Sharon, Al, Justin and the rest of the crew:

Very happy. We live in an historic home, which means jumping through more hoops to get permits. Simpler was there every step of the way; with the building permits and electric meter replacement, too. Their installation crew was excellent -- and extremely courteous as well. Post sale, Simpler keeps an eye on every system they install, watching for outages or other issues (such as lost internet connection). Very reliable!

Sharon, I would like to take the time to thank you, Al, and the crew who came to our home to assist us with this problem. The response we got from the office was exactly what I expected and the crew, Tony and the others were very professional and thorough in the repair and replacement work that they did for us. We are extremely pleased and grateful.
