Solar, batteries, or neither? Get a straight answer.
We compare solar, batteries, and financing from several installers and lenders for homes, businesses, and nonprofits. Then we tell you what actually pays off, including when the answer is to wait.

A range, not a promise. “With a plan” is the utility bill left over plus any lease or loan payment. Your number depends on your roof, usage, rate, and financing.

Your goals and your roof, into one plan
We start with what you want and what your property can do — then weigh the real options and hand you a recommendation.
Your goals
Your roof & site
Many options. One recommendation.
Most providers begin with the products, financing, and programs they already sell. We start with your property.
Assess
We analyze the property, energy use, objectives, economics, and constraints.
Compare
We evaluate relevant lenders, programs, installers, hardware, and technologies.
Build
We assemble the combination designed to produce the strongest overall outcome.
Execute
We help coordinate the selected solution from decision through implementation.
Collect it, store it, use it, share the rest
Panels collect sunlight, an inverter turns it into power your building can use, a battery holds some for the evening or an outage, and the extra goes to the grid. How your utility credits that extra changes the math, so we model your utility's actual rule.
The commercial math looks nothing like the residential math
A business that buys the system can stack a 30% federal credit with first-year depreciation, then add Florida's sales-tax exemption and an 80% property-tax exclusion. The credit has a deadline: solar that began construction after July 4, 2026 must be placed in service by December 31, 2027. And Florida closes off half of what owners imagine doing with the power. All of it belongs in the decision.
Tax & depreciation calculator
Model the §48E credit, the basis haircut, and 100% bonus depreciation against your actual rate — with the after-tax cash flow, IRR, and what it does to the asset's value.

Can you sell the power to tenants? Back to the grid? Eliminate a tenant's bill? Here's what Florida law actually permits, and the four structures that do work.
See the options→Who it fits
An owner-operator, a NNN landlord, an HOA board, a church, and an owner selling in two years are doing completely different math on the same array.

It's a difference of business model and method — not a knock on any installer or partner.

Play with the numbers yourself
Nobody can promise future utility rates — so we show a low, middle, and high escalation scenario instead of one. Adjust the assumptions and see the range.
Your numbers
Move the sliders to picture the possibilities.
We default low on purpose. Most homes land 15–30%; the result below shows a conservative-to-typical range.
Nobody can promise this. 6% is a middle estimate; try 3–12%.

Why your results will vary
- —Roof orientation, shade & angle
- —Your actual usage patterns
- —System size that fits your roof
- —Real utility-rate changes (unpredictable)
- —Weather & seasonal production
- —Financing terms and any escalator
25-year spend, side by side
For visualizing possibilities only. Every home is different — we don't get a clear picture until a site survey and bill analysis are done. Real utility rates, usage, production, roof, and program terms all vary, and savings aren't guaranteed.

Straight answers to the skeptical questions
Good questions deserve honest answers — including when solar isn't the move.
Does solar eliminate my electric bill?+
Usually not entirely — most homes keep a small monthly utility connection charge, and how much you offset depends on your usage and system size. We show you the realistic number.
Is there still a federal tax credit in 2026?+
For a home you own outright (cash/loan), the 30% residential credit ended for systems placed in service after Dec 31, 2025. A lease works differently: the company that owns the system handles any credit, and that shows up in the lease price. We'll walk you through what actually applies.
How is PDB different from a solar company?+
Most providers begin with the products, financing, and programs they already sell. We start with your property, evaluate multiple options, and build the combination that fits — including telling you when solar isn't the move.
What can a battery really run in an outage?+
Essentials like your fridge, lights, and internet for a while — air conditioning is a much bigger draw. No battery powers a house indefinitely. We size it to your goals honestly.
Can my HOA stop me from installing solar?+
No. Florida's Solar Rights Act (Fla. Stat. 163.04) bars an HOA or deed restriction from prohibiting solar — an HOA can only fine-tune placement, and only in a way that doesn't hurt the system's performance. We work with HOAs regularly and handle the approval process.
What's included in the $0-down lease?+
Maintenance, insurance, and warranty are all part of the lease, and the equipment is replaced if it isn't performing — so you get the energy plan without owning the upkeep or the risk. Exact terms vary by program.
Build your power plan
Leave a phone, email, or address. We'll evaluate the financing, programs, installers, and technology available to you — and build the combination that fits. You decide what happens next.
We compare the numbers. You decide. If solar isn't right for your property, we'll say so.
