Efficient and Effective.
Dear Mr. May, I want to thank you and your men for doing such an efficient and effective job of searching out and correcting some water leakage in our bedroom that we experience several nights ago. The amount of rain and wind that came at us that evening was able to allow the water to penetrate the most smallest of holes in the roof. What is especially noteworthy about this "service after the sale policy" is that the cause of the leaking roof had absolutely nothing to do with the work that your company did--it was due to the builder and a previous vendor's installation of our "lighting rod" system--but your men corrected the problem without regard to who created the conditions that allowed the rain to come in. Your men took pictures of the locations where the water entered and caused some superficial damage--nothing to worry about at this point in time--but I appreciated the thoroughness with which they responded to my call for help with the water coming into our master bedroom. Please feel free to use this letter as a testimony as to how May Electric Solar does business. I would whole heartedly recommend your company to anyone considering a Solar installation. Sincerely yours, Carl M. P.S. Also, please extend my appreciation to the two men you sent to solve my concern. They were prompt in arriving at the time promised, courteous and professional in resolving the reason for my call.
Appeared to be Satisfactory.
After receiving estimates from a couple of other companies which appeared to be satisfactory, my wife did in-depth research and discovered energysave.com, an excellent website which reviews Solar companies, draws up comparisons and actually discusses options as an impartial, disinterested institution. This led her to realize that May Electric Solar is up with the best and slightly cheaper. She also was directed to a suitable finance company, Clean Energy. So far we are very pleased with the professionalism, administrative efficiency and excellent communication (a special thanks here to Tom!). Highly recommended.
We are very satisficed with the customer service, sales and installation with our Solar Power System.
Very Happy
Great company, very good pricing. We asked for a quote on the recommendation of my brother, who had them install his. Could not be more pleased. Our account rep, Neil, explained everything thoroughly and we knew exactly what to expect. The installation team was very experienced and Jake explained what they were going to be doing, asked if I had any questions and were very efficient. Neil also stopped by during the installation to make sure we had no questions. VERY PLEASED and highly recommend May Electric Solar!!
We would recommend "MAY ANY DAY"!!
From start to finish, ABSOLUTE PROFESSIONALISM!!! Steve our sales consultant was awesome to work with. He made every step of the process easy to understand, he kept us informed and was super patient with all pf our questions. The install team was just the best, professional, detailed and courteous!!! We would recommend "MAY ANYDAY"!!!

From start to finish the process was great! We asked A LOT of questions and at no time did we feel as if someone did not know the answers. In fact they were very insightful.
First of All !
First of all, Jake was outstanding, top of the line! He answered all of our questions. At times we even spoke with the owner, very professional. I would highly recommend this company to anyone & everyone. Thank you for being so great.
I Have No Regrets.
Even though I was very pleased with the May's Sales, Installation, Technology and Start-up processes, I wanted to wait until the system was operational for at least 4 complete months before submitting a review. I am now ready to say that I have no regrets in the decision to "Go Solar" and very happy that I went with May Electric. I, of course, interviewed and received bids from other companies. I chose May Electric Solar because of the professional manner that my technical and non-technical questions were handled. The installation was efficient and clean and performed only by May Electric employees. As to the cost of the system, May Electric's bid was the lower or equal to the other bids. One last note, I have not paid for electricity since I turned the system on December 9, 2019.
Ground mount Solor
I give 5 stars to Mays Solor for the professional staff, excellent quality equipment, fair price and the offfice staff is outstanding. If your looking for a reliable company and want quality work even beyond installation I highly recommend this company. Fell free to call me if you have any questions - David Stanton 352.422.2644
A good 5 rating out of 5.
This says it all.
You are choosing wisely when the county inspector tells you that May Electrics is one of the best outfits in the area
Fantastic experience working with May Electric Solar company for my dive into the world of solar power generation. William May, Jake, and Tyler were all courteous and professional in the interaction I had with them. They were able to schedule an on-site estimate within a week of contacting them. Jake excelled in his knowledge of the process and low pressure in terms of sales, especially compared to other area companies. They work with top quality components in the industry (LG panels and Enphase micro-inverters) and benefit from being an electrical contractor prior to getting into the solar business unlike some of these newer companies that seem to be popping up. My only concern was possible overproduction when I required an unexpected new HVAC system while awaiting the install of my solar system, yet Jake assured me there should be no issue with the margins they plan for. The actual install was quite remarkable taking a little over 4 hours (though my system was relatively simple) and surprisingly simple operation of the system's hardware. You know you are choosing wisely when the county inspector tells you that May Electrics is one of the best outfits in the area. A local company works with American made panels and parts are hardworking personnel.
We wish to thank the entire May Electric team
May Electric Solar made everything seamless from our initial purchase to assisting us through applications and forms to installation and communication with Duke Energy. We wish to thank the entire May Electric team for their thoroughness and for ensuring that all of our burning questions were always answered promptly and for monitoring that everything went smoothly. Looking forward to joining the May Electric Solar family. Thank you for all of your understanding support.
We are very satisfied
We are very satisfied with Bill and the salesman's professionalism, the installation of the panels, & the electrical work that was done. We would highly recommend May Electric Solar.
I couldn't believe how quickly our panels were installed!
Professional and informative sales meeting. Prompt return on installation. Punctual, respectful, and thorough crew. Polite and helpful office staff. I couldn't believe how quickly our panels were installed!
Thank you May Electric Solar!
May is the way! We did extensive research on solar and talked with at least 5 different solar companies before we decided to go with May Electric and we are extremely satisfied with our decision. Starting with Tom our salesman who gave us a completely customized, ON PAPER, view of our cost savings if we went solar. He showed us, based on our electric usage, how solar was beneficial. He also showed us the layout of the panels on our roof and how the seasonal sun pattern made this the most efficient use of the solar panels. Other companies wanted to use parts of our roof that were not the most efficient. There was no pressure and at our request, he came back again to answer a few more questions we had. We signed a contract that day. May is a local company an has its own crew which is important to us. Any issues go through them. Some of the other companies use sub-contractors and the warranty and workmanship are not the same. On installation day Bill May, the owner fo the company was on my roof with his crew. being a small business owner myself I understand the pride and quality that comes from it. You do the job right and they did! I observed the entire process. The crew answered any questions I had and were very professional. I am more than satisfied with my solar panels and installation experience. I have confidence that they will be there for me every step of the way. Thank you May Electric Solar!
Using anyone other than May Electric would be a mistake.
Does anything speak louder than repeat business and multiple, positive referrals? I first contracted with May Electric in 2017. I was so pleased with their product and service I now have 3 referrals that have also contracted with May Electric. I recently had May out to expand my photovoltaic system and I was immediately reminded of their professionalism, punctuality and focus on quality. Using anyone other than May Electric would be a mistake.
The best investment decision we have ever made
Less than two years ago, my husband and I decided to go solar, and we must say that was the best investment decision we have ever made. Before contacting any solar companies, we spoke to friends and acquaintances about their experience. They were all very happy that they switched to solar, but some felt they did not do enough research before jumping in. We set out as many of us do with large expenses and investments in our home. Met with several companies to discuss product, saving, reliability, warranty, maintenance price, and financing just to mention a few areas of concern. After careful consideration we chose "May Electric Solar". They are a local company doing business in our community and surrounding areas for 12 years and they are the #1 installer of Enphase in Florida. Neil S. went over every detail and explained exactly what would take place. Prior to the install, Neil and William M. himself were over to examine the areas where the panels would go and review with us everything that would take place the day of the install. We are so glad we decided to go with "May Electric Solar" they made it easy. If you are looking to switch to solar, we recommend "May Electric Solar". Go ahead contact them or schedule an appointment and see for yourself.
Professional, Polite, and Efficient
Steve did a thorough explanation about the project, costs, and outcomes of our investment. The lead project installer, Jacob, was great especially when I accused him of arriving at 7am. Thank you daylight savings! The installation crew was professional, polite, and efficient. Overall we are satisfied and awaiting our kilowatts!
Highly recommended for solar installations.
The installation crew was courteous, professional, and efficient. Our entire installation was completed in 4 hours. The good reputation of May Electric is reflected in the actions of their employees. With May Electric, you deal with the company, not subcontractors. Highly recommend for solar installations.
Great work / Happy with results
Received quotes w/ warranties for 2, 5, 10, and 25 from 8 different companies. May Electric the best warranty for just a little more than the other guys. The only issue that came up was from the permit process; call your county permit people directly for any permit questions otherwise things get lost in translation. The process of getting the permit and it passing inspection took longer than expected. Power output has been equal or greater than what estimated :) Crew was friendly and were done a day sooner.
The Service was wonderful. Thank You.
Great Experience.
Knowledgeable, Courteous, Through. Overall a good experience!
Professional and Informative.
The Sales meeting was Professional and Informative. Prompt return on installation. Punctual, respectful, and through crew. Polite and helpful office staff. I couldn't believe how quickly our panels were installed.
Right on Schedule.
Just as Mr. May stated the job was completed as scheduled.
From start to finish this was a very professional team.
Everything was Seamless.
May Electric Solar made everything seamless from our initial purchase to assisting us through applications and forms to installation and communication with Duke Energy. We wish to thank the entire May Electric Team for their thoroughness and for ensuring that all of our burning questions were always answered promptly and for monitoring that everything went smoothly. Looking forward to joining the May Electric Solar Family. Thank you for all of your outstanding support.
Excellent Company with High Quality Products
Its been almost three years since I had May Electric Solar install 33 LG solar panels on my home and I couldn't be happier. I had 10 solar companies come in to give me estimates and May Electric gave me the best product and the best price. I wish I would have done this ten years ago!! I decided to wait to give my review to see if the system was working up to code and I can honestly say that it is still working perfectly. If you are thinking about installing a solar system on your home I cant think of anyone else to install it with better customer service and quality. Thank you Mays Electric Solar and I will be telling all of my friends, family and co-workers about your company.
Great to Work With.
Salesman, Neil and owner, Bill were great to work with. Everyone we have dealt with on the phone at the office have been equally attentive, responsive and exceptional to work with. On installation day, the crew was on time, courteous, well trained and professional. Installation was nearly perfect (one small issue of some unfilled holes) and the system is working perfectly. With May's guidance, our new Duke Energy Meter was installed within 7 business days of inspections. The office contacted us and made sure we were able to set up monitoring. We would HIGHLY RECOMMED May Electric Solar to anyone in the area looking to go solar.
Proud to be a Customers.
Our new Solar Installation by May Electric was just completed. I am proud to be one of their customers! I received 6 quotes and they were best. Lowest cost and best equipment. I chose to add a battery which will provide power to my two refrigerator, freezer, several rooms and enough extra to run a room air conditioner. So when we lose power the right things will be protected. I can't say enough things but simply May Electric is top notch company. Starting with Danny Hibbs in sales 727-819-2862. He is an electrician and really knows what they are selling and can explain it in terms you can understand. They have an A+ BBB rating and I can see why. They use LG panels with the highest efficiency in the market and a 25 year warranty. Each panel has its own inverter which provides several positives; if one panel/inverter goes out all the rest of the panels continue to work, and remote monitoring of each panels possible. A 20 year roof leak warranty and a 25 year warranty on all the parts. The warranties are transferable to new owners if you sell your home. When the installation team showed up it was apparent that they were a very professional integrated group. Each person was well trained and had a specific part of the job to complete. They all showed a high degree of care and interest in the installation. Questions were answered with ease since they all knew the details of what they were dong with the products they were installing. The company owner William May is part of the team. He participates and oversees each and every job. Part of their installation is software for remote monitoring of the system performance. In addition to you being able to see the performance of each panel, May Electric also checks your system periodically and if an issue is found they call your schedule a warranty repair. I have found no other Solar company that does this. Their office staff takes care of all the paperwork seamlessly and is always ready to answer questions. They also offer a Military discount and financial plans to suit your needs. So if you are looking to get into Solar Power generation, I highly recommend May Electric Solar 727-819-2862.
Excellent Service.
Excellent Service and Quality Product. Would definitely recommend May Electric.
A Pleasant Crew.
Your crew was pleasant to deal with, went about their work in a professional manner and everything expected.
We are very satisfied with Bill's and Danny's professionalism during the installation of the panels and the electrical work that was done. We would highly recommend May Electric Solar.
May Electric performs EXCELLENT work
My wife & I had the great pleasure of meeting, dealing with, and entering into an agreement with May Electric to install a solar-generation system in our home earlier this year. Since this was an important decision, we performed some initial research into several solar firms. Another DIFFERENT solar firm, which a neighbor used, didn't even return the phone call we made to the sales rep. In no time, May Electric quickly ascended to the top of our list; especially because May is a local electric business that performs solar installs, not the reverse. One of our concerns of going solar was the use of temporary workers by a large out of state firm. Since we take pride in our beautiful home, other research included driving to a few of May's recent installs to ensure the panels didn't take away from the aesthetics and curb appeal. In one of these homes, we met the homeowner, who showed us his system and was extremely positive about BOTH his experience with May and the solar system. All of our experiences, meetings, and interactions were wonderful. They arrived on time to all meetings, returned all phone calls – even when I requested to speak with the owner Billy May, whom I had the pleasure of meeting at my home on installation day. On install day, they showed up on time with their crew, and completed the entire install by early afternoon. When the local building inspector arrived the following week, he was EXTREMELY impressed with their work. The inspector actually said "If I was going to install solar in my home, then May Electric is the company that I would use. Every single aspect of this install was perfect." I'm pleased to say that our solar system provides 100% of our electric consumption, and our monthly bill is ONLY $10/month for the fixed customer charge to be connected to the grid. Two of our neighbors have since hired May for their solar install, and another 2 neighbors are in the works. We were extremely proud (and blessed!) to have been lucky enough to meet Billy May and the rest of his Super Solar team. Billy and crew… please take a bow!!
My neighor made a mistake by not using May Electric
It took my neighbor's blundr for me to truly learn how good May Electric is with solar systems. I purchased my system from May Electric in 2017 after vetting 6 different solar companies. I have been very pleased with the performance of the system and their craftsmanship. My appreciation of them grew exponentially after seeing what my neighbor went through. My neighbor is a business owner and is proud of his negotiating skills. I referred him to May Electric when he expressed interest in a solar system. He met with Neil as well as representatives from "yard sign" solar installers. In the end he did not go with May because of the deal he got. I witnessed firsthand the 3 to 4 days it required (over a month time frame) to complete the installation of a 20+ panel solar system. I also witnessed the 6 inspections that were required (over a 7 month period) to finally get the system approved. And to make matters worse for my neighbor, I saw the invoice and he paid more per watt than I did. I am able to refer May Electric to everyone with complete confidence that they will be as please as I am.
Fantastic Experience
This has been a Fantastic Experience working with May Electric Solar for my dive into the world of solar power generation. William May, Jake and Tyler were all courteous and professional in the interaction I had with them. They were able to schedule for an onsite estimate within a week of contacting them. Jake excelled in his knowledge of the process and low pressure in terms of sales, especially compared to other area companies. They work with top quality components in the industry (LG panels and Enphase micro-inverters), and benefit from being an electrical contractor prior to getting into the solar business unlike some of these newer companies that seem to e popping up. My only concern was possible overproduction when I required an unexpected new HVAC system while awaiting install of my solar system, yet Jake assured me there should be no issue with the margins they plan for. The actual install was quite remarkable taking a little over 4 hours (though my system was relatively simple) and looks much better than I anticipated on my roof. Tyler even stayed after to walk me through the surprisingly simple operation of the system's hardware. You know you are choosing wisely when the county inspector tells you that May Electric is one of the best outfits in the area. Local company, works with American made panels and parts, and hardworking personnel. Looking forward to my new interconnect panel from the power company and being able to turn my system on and see the results of their efforts.
Best Solar Company Experience
I obtained multiple estimates from over a dozen solar companies over the course of several weeks on a Solar System. After three rounds of revised quotes from all vendors, May Electric Solar's was the only one that remained unchanged becauses they had already offered the second lowest price, the best warranty, and the best communication. All the other vendors clearly had fluff and high profit margin in their quotes - still was much higher for the exact same parts (LG solar panels and Enphase microinverters). The installation timeline and work was completely as agreeded. We couldnt be happier with their frequent communication or customer service. Systems has been operating flawlesssly ever since. We expect payoff in less than 7 years.
I highly recommend May Electric with no hesitation.
I did extensive research about the technology and about local providers before selecting May Electric. The sales process was honest, straightforward and informative. The price was the lowest around and there were no surprises. The installation ran on schedule and the entire team was courteous and considerate. I had 60 panels installed. I thought I would have to put some of them on a less than optimal SW facing roof. Billy was able to rearrange them at the last minute and squeeze them all onto a south facing roof. I've had them for almost 2 years. May Electric provided me with all the forms and guidance I needed to claim the maximum tax deduction. Because of Billy's ingenuity, the panels have produced even more energy than I had expected. It looks like the whole system will have paid for itself in under 8 years. I couldn't be happier.
May Electric Solar
After retiring from the Army and Department of Veterans Affairs my family had 1 child in college and the other in her junior year of high school. We decided to move from Wesley Chapel and found a home in the Golf Community of Lake Bernadette. I had researched solar in the past and was ready to add it to our new to us home. I researched first on the internet and then local dealers. We had 3 in home estimates and decided on May Electric after finding their product was one of the top of the line at that time (2015). The installation was flawless without any prolonged inspections or delays by Duke energy. Install was completed and are solar was producing and savings began. Since 2015 we have only had to pay Duke Energy the Maintenance price of $9.95 dollars a month. I am pleased with the system I purchased and recommend May Electric to anyone looking for a good solid company that services the product after the sale. Last year one of our solar panels was not producing and once the envoy reported this I contacted May they stood behind their product ordered a new inverter installed it and since it was under warranty 25 year there was no out of pocket expense to us. Thanks May Electric
From Our Very First Meeting.
From our very first meeting with Danny Hibbs where we signed our contract to the final installation of our panels, we never doubted we made the right choice. Unlike other companies who came in to use scare tactics on continual rising costs with Duke Electric and then only being able to tell us they had the best solar panels made in China and how we could get a brand name panels like LG of we wanted to spend $60-$80,000.00. Danny came in with a complete proposal of our system, paperwork about the LG panels and answered all our questions we had. May Electric stayed in touch with us weekly. Supplied all paperwork needed for our HOA approval and through the waiting period for permitting. Once our permit was approved our panels were on by the end of the week. City final approval took 2 days and Duke Electric has been notified to change our meter. Everything was handled with no effort on our part. Installers were wonderful and cleaned up everything and took the time to talk with us on the only things we need to do once the meter is changed. We would highly recommend May Electric Solar to anyone who asked. Thank You.
Thanks to All.
I highly recommend May Electric to anyone considering the utilization of Solar Energy. The May Electric team is knowledgeable and professional. I consulted several area companies and found them to have the most efficient process from start to finish. The end result was as promised. I'm very pleased. My Thanks to all-especially to Steve H. for his efforts and understanding of my needs.
Christmas in September!
After 19 years at our former address we downsized and moved 1 mile away. One of the key reasons was the crazy Duke electric bills that hammered us year after year. What a nightmare! We did everything imaginable to make our home energy efficient and it never seemed to make any real difference. Not wanting to bulldoze and start over we realized our only choice was to move. Almost pulled the trigger on a Deerfield Estate home (many are energy smart with solar) but did not want the HOA, the rules, and smaller lot size hat those homes offered. My other hope was to find a reasonably priced home and add solar. So we found a fix it upper and went to work. Four months later we moved in. After the dust settled it was back to pursuing the solar dream. We talked to at least 4 different companies and May was in the middle of the pack price wise. What set them apart was the low-key laid-back attitudes of their salespeople. They truly cared about getting us the right fit and so continued a dialogue of phone calls and emails until every detail was resolved. We felt like family from the beginning. These are people you want to do business with. Last week Tyler and Jake were the leads for our installation which could not have gone smoother. They took the time to answer every question thoughtfully in 91degree heat! It was as if they were working on there own homes. Cleaned up like true pros not leaving a trace, only the stunning panels to appreciate. We are now waiting on Duke to connect out new meter and looking forward to unwrapping that next electric bill that follows! So Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, he also works in September and his name is William May and team. Thank you and God Bless May Solar and family!
The company is great and the employees are very respectful.
Dear Friends at May Electric,
You recently installed solar panels on our roof and the City of Pinellas Park sent their inspector to check and sign off on the job. We thought that final approval had been given. To our surprise the crew chief and some of the installers who had done the work came back to do additional work to bring the installation up to current code. The crew has completed the work today, and we are writing this short letter to commend both May Electric and the work crew. The way that May Electric handled this issue speaks of the upright and honest practices of your company. This coupled with the quality of product and workmanship of May Electric makes us wholeheartedly recommend May for any kind of electrical work. A really great company! Your crew must be commended also for their work. They are efficient and courteous doing a very hot and uncomfortable job for this time of year in Florida. The crew chief is knowledgeable and able to explain the work being done and why it must be done. He and the young men working under him are a real asset to May Electric. They are, after all, the closest contact source a customer has with the company. Good Job well done! We are telling all of our friends and neighbors who want to know more about the work we had done that May Electric is the only source we would recommend for solar work or any other electrical work needed.
May is the Way!!!
We did extensive research on solar and talked with at least 5 different solar companies before we decided to go with May Electric and we are extremely satisfied with our decision. Starting with Tom our salesman who gave us a completely customized, ON PAPER, view of our costs and savings if we went solar. He showed us based on our electric usage, how solar was beneficial. He also showed us the layout of the panels on our roof and how the seasonal sun pattern made this the most efficient use of the solar panels. Other companies wanted to use parts of our roof that were not the most efficient. There was no pressure and at our request he came back again to answer a few more questions we had. We singed a contract that day. May is a local company and has their own crew which was important to us. Any issues go through them. Some of the other companies us contractors and the warranty and workmanship is not the same. On installation day Bill May, the owner of the company, was on my roof with his crew. Being a small business owner myself I understand the pride and quality that comes with it. You do the job right and they did!! I observed the entire process. The crew answered any question I had and were very professional. I'm more than satisfied with my solar panels and installation experience. I have confidence that they will be there for me every step of the way. Thank you May Electric Solar!!
I first had contact with Mays Electric in the summer of 2017 , I wanted a solar system to power the house, maybe not all of it but wanted to cut the electric bill.I had got 5 solar company's prices and all of them were out of this world price, plus they did not listen to me just kept going on and on with talk about stuff they did not know about. I had put my first solar system together in 1993 and it was very small only 400 watts just enough to do my Florida room, but it worked and it was solar . After talking to Mr. May and Neil they listen to me and I knew they were the real deal.. They came up with better ideals then I had, so I went their way and it has worked out great. If I have a question I know I can call Neil or the Mays company phone and they will answer it. I still get solar company's calling or sending ads to the house but I will never go any where else, when people ask me about my system I always tell them about my experience with Mays Electric
I'm writing to thank you for a job well done. Every step of the process regarding the solar system for my home was conducted in a professional manner. Without hesitation, I enthusiastically recommend your company to anyone planning to install a solar system for there home. Your entire staff (sales, office, installers) were always attentive, courteous, and professional. Once again thank you for a job well done.
May Electric Solar is definitely A-ONE on my list. This company is the most knowledgeable, efficient and courteous group I have ever dealt with. From my first contact with the sales rep to office staff and ultimately to the installation crew I could see these people were the best of any I have known. There product is top of the line, and they give an honest up front price for solar equipment. The work crew doing the installation were prompt, worked well together and each man knew exactly what to do as his part of the team. May Electric tops my list of reliable, honest and courteous companies.
Very disappointed
I spoke to 10 companies over 2 years ago before going with May. I waited to post this review until I have been a customer for a while. System works great, saves exactly what I was told it would. One mic inverter went down and it took 13 days to get it replaced, misty is very helpful. The crew installing was great. Mr May was here on my roof and in my attic working. I have only seen him on TV so I didn't know what to expect. He came in old work clothes and a work truck he is a very nice down to earth guy, someone you know you can trust. My disappointment is that I didn't trust the May organization sooner. Most other companies push multiple options for inverters and solar panels. Websites told me not to trust companies like May who only push one option. May said LG and emphase, that's what we recommend" because we have done our research. Other companies said enphase wont be around much longer, LG makes TVs and May wont be around either long once emphase is gone. I am happy with May and very disappointed in the solar market. 10 companies that came into my home and told me they were the best and knew what was best. Now 3 are out of business. May was right all long. I recommend doing your research and becareful of scams.
Job Well Done!
So far very happy. Your word is great. Everything you said you would do, you did. Everyone was totally business like.
Wonderful company and product
Neil, our salesman, answered every question, without any pressure (unlike several other companies we 'interviewed'), and made us feel secure in our decision. William May even came out to our home to evaluate our situation as we have a number of mature trees a short distance from our house. The installation crew was very professional and completed the job quickly and efficiently. All in all, we couldn't be happier with our decision to go with May and give them our highest recommendation.
Great Company!
Just installed a 4.9 KW system with LG panels which are now made in Alabama. Great Service and follow up! Very professional ! Similar to other posters, I also had several delays that were my fault ie a new metal roof. Everyone was very patient and understanding. I highly recommend giving them a call. The solar computer software May Electric provided works on my android phone and computer. It shows that I am even making some electricity on a rainy, cloudy day. Before I decided on exactly what I wanted, I changed the type and number of panels several times. No complaints from Jeff. He just said give me a day or two and I will work up a new estimate. Thanks to Jeff a great salesman patient and not pushy. I have not received my first electric bill yet. According to the software, I have made more electricity than I used on 3 or 4 days. I will repost and give an update in a few months.
Happy Customer!
Everyone from Steve, the salesperson, to the installers, to the office staff were very knowledgeable and helpful. All materials and products they use are quality. I am shooting for "net zero" and so far it looks close with most days producing a surplus
Great work ethic by all.
Great Job. Great work ethic by all. Everybody, accept Mosiac was great.
May Solar is top notch, the process couldn't have been easier or gone smooother
I have nothing but high praise for the team at May Electric Solar. Everyone that we have interacted with has been fantastic. The process of going solar couldn't have been easier or smoother. From Steve our sales-associate, to the ladies in the office, May Solar is top notch. We are confident that May installed a top of the line system that will serve us for years to come. I am glad we chose May for our Solar project.
I am very happy with the look of the panels
I am very happy with the look of the panels and service I have received.
Excellent Customer Service
Excellent customer service, kept us informed. Tom was a great salesman, explaining everything in detail. Whole job went along smoothly from estimate to power up- all within 45 days. New net meter from Withlacoochee is staying around 0. First loan payment isn't due for another 2 months.
I like having a local company incase
The whole process with May Electric Solar was business like and professional. I never felt pressured. I got 3 estimates on the job. May Electric gave me the best equipment for the least cost. When the engineer from the power company came to inspect the installation, he said I never have to worry about May Electric, they always do it right, not like some of the other installers from out of the area. I like having a local company incase there is an issue down the road. My name is David if you would like to contact about my experience with May Electric, just ask them for my #. I don't usually answer a # I don't recognize so if you call me leave me a message and I will get back to you.
Great explanations and options
The process of getting the solar installed on the house was very well managed. Danny was very thorough in explanations about the process as well as the options for what would be installed on the house. Misty, Holly and Lori kept us informed during the process as permits were obtained, and it was very helpful that May Electric handled the permit process with the HOA.As soon as the permits were obtained, work promptly scheduled and was completed in a single day - we were very impressed at the resilience of the installers in the Florida sun! We would definitely recommend May Electric to anybody looking for solar installations.
What we expected
Gone Solar
Happy Customer!
Great Job.
Best return on investment
Going solar is a no-brainer. We have had our system for over 3 years & have saved thousands. Our average daily electricity cost pre-solar was $8.57 (2016) - our daily cost dropped to 28 cents a day (2017). WHAT A ROA! Add to the fact May Electric is the best. We researched/interviewed numerous other companies & found them to be the best. Honest, hard-working folks who do it right.
May Electric is an outstanding company. I chose them because of how honest they were up front and they did all of the work, no sub-contractors. I researched several other companies, but I felt more comfortable with May Electric . Neil was my salesman and he was always available if I had any questions or concerns. I was very impressed by their professionalism and dedication to doing a great job. Billy and his crew did other jobs for me as well and the result was great as usual. Because of my experience with them I would recommend May Electric over any of the other competition.
Happy Customer!
We are very happy with our Solar System. I works great and is saving us lots of money. The process was easy and stress free, our salesman Dan was there if we had any concerns or questions.
Happy Customer!
May Electric Solar was referred to us by a neighborhood friend. We set an appointment with Danny and he provided with us all the information. Everyone is so helpful and very professional. Install went well as well. May Electric Solar is exceptional, definitely recommend them.

Great service!
I have nothing but praise for the way May Electric & Solar handled my solar installation, from the initial contact through installation and beyond. The installers and the sales representative all were courteous, efficient, and very responsive to the questions I had. Best of all, there were absolutely no up-front costs! I cannot praise May Electric & Solar enough for the superlative experience.
Very Happy With our Solar System

A Top-Notch Company
This company is amazing! I did a considerable amount of research on solar systems and installers before deciding on May Electric, and I could not be more pleased with the work they performed. From the pre-installation planning, to the installation, and the follow-up, this company was nothing but professional. They obviously take great pride in the systems they install, and their workmanship was top notch. I have neighbors that had systems installed my other companies and the poor installation techniques and materials were very obvious and not very aesthetically pleasing. A solar installation is a huge investment! Thank you Billy and everyone at May Electric for caring about your customers and being the best at what you do.
Lesson: careful who you hire
Happy to strongly recommend May Electric for solar installation. We made the mistake of contracting with another firm, which partially installed our system and created defects that were against code and dangerous. May electric took over, rectified the installation, which is working quite well. Lesson: careful who you hire in this new market which has attracted a number of fly-by-night operators, and May Electric is a first-class outfit that does top quality work for its customers at competitive prices.
High quality service, timely and professional
I love my solar panels and the process to get them installed, inspected, and running was smooth. I know of other companies that charge double, and they sub out the work so getting inspected can be a nightmare.
Happy Customer
Great Job, Very clean & to the point. The entire process was very smooth and everything looks great.
Very quick and Clean
The project went very quickly and our system looks much cleaner on our roof than our neighbors done by another company. Our system looks like a part of our home rather than a pile of equipment on the roof. Thanks May
Excellent team very respectful professional and a great product
It's been 3 years and we are still very happy the product is excellent the results are obvious, we still collecting from the electric company, will never forget the team, they are super amazing.
Happy Customer!
Great job during the quote and contract process. I enjoy a no B.S. way of doing business and you were able to deliver.
Happy Customer!!
Our panels were installed quickly and efficiently by May Electric's experienced and knowledgeable crew. The communication with County Inspectors was amazing, our panels were inspected and signed the very next day. After our initial contract with May Electric, we had several delays on our end; getting our home equity loan, deciding to have a new roof installed prior to installation of our solar and some unexpected crazy rain but May Electric was totally understanding and patient. Their office personnel, sales person, installers and owners are all 5 star!
Happy Customer!!
My Wife and I are glad to have May Electric Solar install our Solar System. From start to end, we were comfortable with the process and kept abreast of the process as it progressed. We look forward to doing our part with the greening of America and having a reliable company like May Electric supporting us.
Happy Customer!!
We have been highly pleased with the entire process of having May Electric install our solar panel system. The sales call, installation, and follow-up were all excellent. Every promise made was fulfilled in a timely manner and every question was patiently answered. We interviewed other companies and found May Electric to be the best.
Happy Customer!!
The entire process went smoothly and the appearance of the panels on our roof are easy to miss unless you're looking for them.
No comparison with other companies
I had my whole house done (2,800sq. ft.) and it works great. They use the best panels (LG) and have a master electrician on site. They were truthful and honest which means a lot to me. I checked ten other companies and none compared. The crew who installed them were professional and cleaned up afterwards. Be careful if you choose another company because there is a lot of misinformation some companies put out just to get a sign contract .
Excellent Product/Excellent Service
I had been reviewing solar systems for three years. May Electric spent a significant amount of time helping me with all of my technical questions about the system. I felt comfortable with their recommendations, and they respected my request to find a quality product that was American made. They managed the accounting and permitting well, and when the installation happened, they sent a very qualified team. The team members all shook my hand upon arrival! The instillation process was fast and looks pretty cool. I am a pretty picky person, and my expectations are high, May Electric did an awesome job! Update: I did need a repair on one of the solar panels, May electric was prompt to respond and resolved the issue.
Happy customer!
Very Nice Crew- Good Job! Very Professional and Good.
Over all the best
Great installation process the office was helpful and curious. The fact that they do not use subcontractors was important to us. We have contracted other improvements on our home where subcontractors were used and it was average at best, nothing to brag upon. Our neighbors had solar installed by a company who used a subcontractor and the difference between our installation and theirs was night and day. We were impressed by the respect, performance and professionalism of everyone in the company we met. We highly recommend May Solar. B
Happy customer!
Everything was excellent!
Happy customer
May Electric sales and installation staff were pleasant to work with. Very professional, courteous and respectful.The installers answered all my questions. Once completed they cleaned up after themselves. May was slightly more expensive for the same equipment with another installer. I went with May because of their reviews. Highly recommend May Electric Solar.
Happy customer
Excellent Price, awesome process from start to finish.
4 years of Searching May was the best
May Electric installed out Solar Panels and we couldn't be happier! After researching solar panel companies for over 4 years and studying the different systems we chose May Electric for ours. Great service, quality product and we haven't had an electric bill since last July! They really do pay for themselves. If you have questions about ours, you can talk to my husband Alan 317-407-6004.
5 bucks
May electric installed our 30 panel system two years ago. System is great, my electric bill for 2017 was less than five dollars. Scott M
May is Best
We chose May two years ago, my 20 panels in 2017 made enough kws that I will not owe Duke any thing until June I had over 2000 extra Kws at the end of the year, Duke sells Kw @ 10cents and buys yours @4.7 cents..not hardly fair, but sure is better than paying $100.00 a month, I have two neighbors who got someone other than May and their systems are not as productive as the panel May sells..
Saving money
We love our new electric bills! Last year 165.00 this year less than 10 dollars. I was very anxious to see it in comparison to our monitoring. The permits took a while but the installation was quick and very professional. We would recommend May electric 100%.
Happy customer
1 day installation, and efficiency was outstanding.
Very knowledgeable and to the point
After consulting 8 companies for 5 months this outfit was the only one that could answer all my questions. They were very polite and did not waste my time or insult my intelligence with sales tactics or gimmicks.The crew was well organized, respectful and very efficient. Very impressive! The system cost was very competitive and worth every penny. We are very happy to have met Mays electric solar and hired their services. John

High quality service.
After interviewing 12 companies, decided to go with May Electric. From the sales person to the people that did installation to the office staff nothing but superb job and customer service. Actually, the whole installation was completed in only 6 hours. 20 LG panels 360 W and 20 Enphase inverters. Even though it's winter time , I am producing every day about 35-40% more energy than I need. I couldn't be happier. Already talked to Neil, sales guy, about buying a battery as my backup. All in all, great service and excellent staff. Thanks again May Electric Andy Bravo
A year Later....
Wanted to pass on to you the following: I did one year electricity cost audit before solar installation: averaged $8.52 daily. Next full year with solar it dropped to 29 cents a day - $8.98 is what Duke charges just to have an account. No month in 2017 was the bill more that $8.98. Don't know if we have a surplus for the year & will get a 1099 but who can argue with 29 cents. Tell the numbers to any potential buyer wavering on solar. Merry Christmas to all. B.L
The job was exactly as described...
The job was exactly as described, quick, clean... No problems. Waiting on Duke to place a meter. Thanks.
Smooth Process....
Process was smooth. Neil and May Electric are great to work with. I was impressed with it to install. Work crew were very knowledgeable and answered my questions.
A great company to work with.
The whole process of installation and financing went smoothly. A great company to work with
Excellent service
May Electric provided a professional and clean installation of my solar farm from first interaction via telephone through meeting the sales rep to finish installation and putting the system in service our experience has been excellent. We highly recommend May Electric for your solar system installation.
Professional and Friendly
After 12 interviews with different companies, I clearly saw that May Electric was, my choice. Yes Solar City from California was contacting me as well with their representative, however personality and knowledge from Neil was incomparable better. Working with Noziak, financial company was a breeze. Finally, the installation experience was exceptional Billy and his guys came out at 7:45 am and were ready for work. The whole work was done literally done in 6 weeks. Misty, the lady in the office was excellent.
You did everything in a timely manner
You guys rock! You did everything in a timely manner. Answered all my questions and concerns, everything ran smoothly. Thank you!
Great company!
I feel blessed to have chosen May electric. After seeing 6 companies for solar quotes Mays had the best panels and price. I went to there office to see them and the staff was great. An open door for the public. I plan on bringing some friends to see their very impressive warehouse and showroom. I would recommend anyone reading this to chose this company and stop by their shop. If you are lucky to catch Mr May there he will show you multiple beta testing on over a dozen panels and different solar systems running on site along with fully functional battery back up and generator systems. HE is every good at explaining how all these systems work and operate. Well worth the drive, and the solar is well a no brainer with this company. Curtis S.

Hurricane No problem
Bill and his crew installed our system 6 years ago. We have been happy with the savings on our electric bill and after this Hurricane passed by we lost a few trees and a fence but our Solar panel System was solid. Just wanted may electric to know we appreciate the quality work! Ben
Great installation
Pleased to say that Irma's 115+ mph winds in Sebring did not move any part of our 40 ground mounts at all. Not even a fraction of an inch. Great installation test. Saw your TV ad today on ABC from Tampa. We'd like Jeff to come over and give us some info on the battery back up systems available.
Highly recommand this company!
Before you waste any more time shopping around, read this. I spent MONTHS researching panels. Then another month or two finding a vendor. I can save you a LOT of time. Simply said: go with May Electric Solar. I checked them out top to bottom and they are clean as a whistle. They are owner operated by William "Billy" May. If you talk to him for 5 mins you will notice a passion for electrical, especially solar. On top of that, he knows that customer service is everything in today's world. Example: he was on my roof making sure everything went well. Danny Hibbs, their sales consultant, is all about the customer as well. Fantastic guy. The office team was responsive, detailed and always polite. The installers were courteous and very friendly as well. It was a good experience. The worst part… is waiting for Duke to install your net meter so you can start making your own power! But that only took about 6 days after their approval process. Now I'm up an running and addicted to the production vs consumption charts on the Enphase Enlighten site. There is something about making your own power that is invigorating. Now, here is my advice for shopping around: First, use the EnergySage website. It's a fantastic site. Tons of relevant information that you need for your search. That's where I found May Electric Solar. All in, I called 10 different solar companies. About 7 actually replied. I narrowed it down to 2 of them. Bottom line is this, EDUCATE YOURSELF! You must know exactly what you want and only ask each vendor to quote you precisely that! If they say that can't get it, disqualify them and move on. Otherwise you will become so confused you'll walk away from the whole idea. Many companies will sell you on cheaper panels. Why? Because they make the highest profit margins on them. Here is what I found to be the best panels: SunPower, LG and Panasonic (SunPower being the best). I went with LG panels. No doubt that SunPower makes a great quality panel, but LG is giving them a hard run for the money. You'll get more power per dollar going with LG and the the warranty is pretty much equal to SunPower's. Panasonic is not far behind. Most companies will offer you somewhere between 300 and 340 watt panels (the lower the wattage the more panels you will have on your roof). That's fine, but check the efficiency. Upon my request, May Electric Solar quoted me LG 360 watt panels and dollar for dollar they went up against SunPower's 327 watt panels. The efficiency is virtually equal. So 33 more watts per panel for the same price. Guess what's on my roof…. LG 360 watt panels. Best of luck on your search!
May Electric is that company and I HIGHLY recommend them.
It is so refreshing to find a company that is ethical and does the right thing. May Electric is that company and I HIGHLY recommend them. I was able to get quotes from 5 different companies after doing extensive research for a solar system that would cover my monthly power bill. I found out right away that some companies were extremely overpriced, unethical and shady. After much research I finally decided to talk with Danny and could tell right away that he was a good guy. He was honest and knowledgeable when answering all my questions and I had a lot of them since solar is a big financial decision. I decided to move forward with May Electric and they made the process smooth and stress free. The Owner of the company even came out to oversee the installation and the crew was very professional. The solar panels look great on the house and you can even see the heat pumping out of the solar attic fan onto the roof which should lower my bill too. OUC came out and changed the meter the other morning so today was the first full day using solar. I could not stop monitoring the production on the web site since it updates every 15 minutes and you can see how many kilowatts you are producing. My wife was actually laughing at me because I kept updating her throughout the day. It was a cloudy day but we still got just under 50 kilowatts. I had such a great experience with May electric that I am writing my first ever review for a company and I have already recommended them to family and friends. Thank you May Electric for a job well done!
Great Company... Owner cares!

very professional and timely
We found May Electric to be the most reasonable. We shopped around and also found a customer who had a great experience. The installation was very professional and timely, ( We cant believe they came out on the 4th of July!!). Mr. May, his salesman (Neil ) his crew and office staff we nothing short of First Class. Having heard about May Electric on the JOY FM, was also a Plus in our case.
services was prompt and very professional.
Highly recommend May solar electric. Of all the companies we checked the had the best price. There service was prompt and very professional. We have solar hot water and AC with other companies and of all the solar companies we have dealt with they were easily the best.
Highly recommanded
Highly recommend May Solar Electric. I did look around at other companies but they were chosen. They did an awesome job from start to finish and I no longer have an electric bill �. I don't have any complaints and can only recommend if your looking, make this company one of your options!!! Pretty sure you'll chose them too and get rid of the electric bill.
awesome quality and have a great warranty
We are extremely happy with our solar panels and the service we have received from May Electric. My husband had researched solar panels for 4-5 years before deciding on this company. They are awesome quality and have a great warranty. Their system is up-to-date where many were outdated and not as efficient. Our system is doing amazing!
They are absolutely phenomenal!!
They are absolutely phenomenal!! Very nice to work with, very professional, put up my whole home solar pv system in a half a day. Always monitoring, always there for you if you need them. I just can't get over how awesome they have been to work with. Oh, and far cheaper than any other company I found and I did my research before signing.

Love May Electric and my solar panels. From the first time I met William I was impressed with his knowledge and courtesy. The girls at the office are sweet and helpful as they can be. Highly recommend May Electric. (And their prices are very reasonable too).

Neil was very professional, explained everything. Really nice guy. Called him a few times and he returned my call properly. The office people are great also very helpful.
Awesome Company!
Awesome! The whole process was fairly smooth. No questions went unanswered. Everything aspect went planned. Time to start saving!
High Quality Service
May Electric Solar was a pleasure to work with. They could not have been more competent and helpful.
Courteous, Reliable Service Techs.
Courteous, reliable service techs. Efficient and responsible to client site, a team members (my observation). Helpful in explaining process and procedures for standard operation. Gave contact information if any more questions needed answered. All issues have been addressed, so far. Working as expected.
Very professional and competent from our initial discussions thru the installation of our solar system
We are very happy with May Electric Solar. They are very professional and competent from our initial discussions thru the installation of our solar system. They were a real pleasure to deal with. Everything was explained and any questions we had were promptly answered. The installation is very well done and looks great. We can't wait for the meter to be changed so we can start using the system. 1st class Company.
Great service and excellent system
Very knowledgeable, professional and prompt. Everything promised was installed and they did a great job with the work. I received several quotes from different solar companies and decided to go with William May Solar after meeting Neil. Pricing was very competitive and I am extremely happy with the installation, system and support.
Exemplary solar installed...
We are delighted with our system. Tampa Electric installed the new meter today and we met procedures. The entire staff of May Electric Solar, the owner, field reps, installers and office staff are exemplary. If you want solar and you don't call the you're missing out!
Competitive Prices
These guys beat every competitor price significantly. They have been very helpful through the whole process!
The installers were very respectful and efficient
The installers were very respectful and efficient. They installed 22 panels and a solar fan in about 4 hours. Clean up was also very good. My only compliant is that there was not sufficient notification for the date of the install and the date of the inspection from the county.
Wow, we made the right choice.
William, his field rep. Neil, his installers and the office staff, Kathy and Misty are all top of the line. You will not find a better group and a more enjoyable experience in this type of work. When it's done you stand back and say, Wow, we made the right choice. I have recommend them to our neighbors and plan to recommend them to our HOA board at our next meeting. I'd like our whole community to go solar. Monty.
Very pleased with this company from start to finish.
We were very happy that we decided to have May Electric design and install our Solar Power System because all the personnel involved on our project were great to work with. They designed a system that meets our energy needs and did not try selling us a larger system than needed. They were able to sell us top rated panels and still keep it affordable. On the day of install, all of the workers were prompt, courteous, and professional. The office staff was wonderful, and returned our calls and answered all questions in a timely manner. It is a great feeling to see our electric meter running "backwards". We were very pleased with this company from start to finish, and would definitely recommend May Electric to anyone thinking of installing a Solar Electric System.
We are completely happy with May Electric. We appreciated the fact they are local to Florida, do not use sub contractors and the price was right! I love the monitoring system also. Everyone was always very pleasant to talk with and we never felt like we asked to many questions. The entire project was streamlined like clock work. Very impressive and we are very Happy.
We want to personally thank all May Electric Solar employees for their dedication in getting us converted to a solar powered home. The installation crew did an outstanding job installing the 30 solar panels in under 7 hours in one day. William May in his capacity as a licensed electrician made sure that everything was in prime working order. Kathy and Misty, in the front office, were always extremely polite and attentive to our solar questions. We can't say enough good things about all the employees at May Electric. Thank you, Mr. May, for having your crew of workers (no subcontractors). That gave us peace of mind. Thank you Neil for a wonderful presentation at the home show. We rate May Electric Solar 6 stars out of 5!
Best Solar deal going in Tampa Bay
Fast installation- at the best price/value for my system.
Solar made easy
May Electric did a fantastic job with my solar array! The first visit was in person and the entire process from choosing a system appropriate for my needs to the actual installation was very smooth. I appreciated the advice on how to reduce my electrical load in order to also reduce the number of required solar panels. My system has been up and running for 2 months now and I am collecting credits from the power company and my last power bill was simply for the grid connection fee of $16. I had a small battery backup system installed to handle critical systems in the event of a power failure and May Electric was the only contractor able to give me this option. Overall I highly recommend their service!
Excellent service
We are very pleased with May Electric and our solar system. They are professionals and will answer all your questions. They won't try to sell you anything you don't need. I would highly recommend them.
Great price on Equipment
If you want the best equipment at a great price this is the company. I heard the sales pitches and promises. Do your reach and this company checks out 100%. They invite you to their warehouses, jobsites and hid nothing. I recommend this company 100 percent. Will designs the PV system and runs the crews. I feel confident in what I was sold with no sub contractors especially since we had problems with a remodel contractor and I was left with the blame game and no resolve. Looking towards my 20 yr warranty nd no electric bill!!! Thank you Gregg
Great Solar Attic fan service
Great Price, quick install and warranty documents! I would recommend buying a solar attic fan. My attic was cooler before they left. Thank you Hank
Happy customer
I am a satisfied customer. Everything was explained in detail and the contract was carried out as promised. Steve B
Very easy to deal with, great prices and honest service. Thank you Chris W
Great price on enphase systems
Great equipment and very good at explaining how enphase systems work. I liked having options on my solar panels also other companies seem to only offer one or two options. Staff was great but phone system seemed to be inadequate for such a large company. Peter and Linda F.
No hard sell
My background is I'm from an electric utility company, and I found Mays' electric to be very professional. They answered all my questions. There was no "hard sell." They came in with one price. A lot of contractors will price out individual components. And May electric didn't do that. So what they do (what they did) is they listen to you and they help determine the size of the system you need. They make it so you don't have to be very knowledgeable.about the solar industry. They make it very easy. I know what I'm talking about, and so I was waiting for them to say something incorrect, but they didn't do it. I was very pleased with them.
Quilty solar and professional planning
I was very impressed with the detail of the planning process and how much time was given to us prior to signing a contract. The staff was very helpful and honest. I would recommend their services. Jeff & Wendy
The best solar for less
This is a very knowledgeable company on solar and they don't mind taking the time to educate you on how it works. Very honest and friendly service with no pressure. The project was completed as promised and it looks great. The installer crew lead by Mr May himself was very profession and well trained. I would say they are the best around! James H
Half the Cost for a Soalr attic fan!!
I received quotes from 4 companies and May solar was 1/2 the cost in pricing with USA made fans warrantied for 25 years. They were very helpful, Very professional install. You cant go wrong with this company or a solar attic fan! Tony
Very Professional, very informative.
Very Professional, very informative.Love the Attic Fan, it is awesome! Keeps my electric vent from coming on during the day, saving me money! That's what it is all about! Thank you so much!
Painless process
The process was completely seamless from sales to installation. The office was very helpful when ever I had a question. The job was completed in one day. The inspector for the county commented that I made a good choice on hiring this company. I cant agree more I have received 3 bills since my net meter was set none over $12.00! Larry E
Great job
After consulting with 5 solar companies we found May electric to be the most knowledgeable company by far. Great equipment and warranties with a well trained crew. Thanks May! Joe T
We would definitely recommend May Electric.
We are very impressed from the first phone call to May Electric. From the girl answering the phone to the installation and crew of the new and efficient solar panels. We definitely recommend May Electric.
Quick Installation
We had the solar attic fan installed. Informative and friendly presentation. Quick install. Speedy response to our inquires.
Hard work pays off!
Bill, myself and Stacy want to thank your company as we are now seeing the fruits of your hard work! The solar panels are really paying off now and we can't be more excited after all the issues we started out with! Thank you! You have a quality company! Steve and Stacy
Nicest group of people
This was by far the easiest contractor I have ever dealt with from start to finish. It would be impossible to exceed my experience. They made it almost to easy and with the cost I was a little nervous. After several months now I am still satisfied and I am treated by company staff as if my business is yet to be earned. What a nice change especially with such an investment. I cant wait to see everyone at the customer appreciation cook out and meet the rest of you in person.
Honest and reputable company
The price was right and the explanation of their process was excitant. The purchasing process felt less of a purchase and more of an educational process in regards to how I was treated. A very professional team through out the process. I am pleased with the customer service, follow up and performance of my system. No questions where left unanswered during my purchase. Thank you!
free power from the sun
To all the staff at William May Electric Inc. I couldn't have asked for a better result on the 12 panel solar project. Nice quick install with a perfectly clean layout and great work done by the installers. Even the inspectors commented on the nice work. From the beginning it appears that the panels have produced $100 each month so far. I expect production will be even higher in the summer months and the way I look at it, it's free power from the sun.
Questions answered and open house coming up.
Thank you Bill for you professional courtesy and I hope your Open House goes well. We may even try to get by there if I am up to it. From A Satisfied Customer, Ronald C. D
Great Company
Great company- hard working employees. We checked out several venders and May Electric is the best (best product and best prices) and really worked with us on all matters. Honest folks!
Great company! Great people! Great service! Active in the community!
I want to thank May Electric and Solar for not only having exceptional products at reasonable prices, but for also supporting their community! They are proud supporters of the River Ridge High School Softball program and we look forward to having a relationship for many years to come. If you're looking to save money on your electric and want an honest group to work with than call Mr May and team! They will take great care of you.
Worth waiting for
Billy and Misty, Some things are worth waiting for..... I finally received my new March bill ......I pulled last years bill and it was about $270 ...it came down to $ 69.17! $200 savings in one month! I truly appreciate your help in getting me here! I am not at home to see the actual usage but isn't this great! Thank you so much! Have a great Easter, Elva S.
Installed solar panels, a solar attic fan, a high e pool pump and a new electrical panel on our house. Coordinated installation of a net meter with TECo. Very pleasant to work with and efficient.
Mr, Bill and his staff most knowledgeable contractor, they install 36 panels in my house in plant-city 6 months ago, system installed as desired, very efficient and helpful, After 6 months i add 5 more panels, Bill gave me same price and surprisely he came over saturday to install because mon & tue has rain, money well spent, Mr BILl highly recommended , they were very punctual from start to finish, finally NO OTHER SOLAR COMPANY WORTH SEEING, Thank you MAY ELECTRIC AND BILL (OWNER)
Your company
Your crew did an excellent job. Everything looks great. Thanks for helping out on getting me a good roofer also to make this project possible.
No other solar company is worth seeing
I did not want to be rushed into a solar system. only 3 companies made me feel comfortable talking to. Out of the three may electric was the consistent source of info never pushing me. If I asked to many questions I wouldn't have known, it felt like I was consulting a friend and not a contractor. I am excited about my system and knowing I have a contractor that cares about my investment. The expertise of this company insures in 10 years they will be around for my warranty. THANK YOU MAY ELECTRIC!!
Professional Grade Work
All workers were very courteous, very detailed in there work, and the work was very neat when completed and answer any question I had. The job was done in one day and look very good, I would recommend their services to anyone.
No Surprises
I just received my second month electric bill from WREC and continue to be very pleased. The installation was completed at Thanksgiving. The price was as good or better than any other folks I talked to. The references that I talked to were great. The install team was very professional and obviously new what they were doing completing the work in just about a day. Since the installation, we had one micro inverter fail out of the 40 installed. It was replaced as soon as the replacement was received (and the weather cooperated.) My only 'regret' is that I'm not sure I have enough panels. In talking to Bill and his team, we're going to wait and see how the performance works after the days get longer. I'm comfortable that we made the right decision to go w/May Electric.
Honest and Dependable! Great Install
Billy May himself (the owner) came out with a crew on the day after Christmas to get this job done before January 1st giving me the tax break for 2015. Thank you very much for everyone at William May, Inc.!
Great Value and experience
After looking in to solar for a few years I decided to get quotes from 3 companies as suggested by Duke energy. It took 9 appointments with 6 companies to get to The May electric. After speaking with Mr May on the phone I knew this would be the company I would hire, assuming there was no hidden fees as many competitors said I could expect from such a low ball quote. There were no extra fees this is the most straight forward company I have ever dealt with. I highly recommend including may electric in your solar quoting process. You will not be disappointed. Greg B
professional, attentive and thorough.
I had the distinct pleasure, and it was a pleasure, believe me, to have May Electric, Solar Division, install solar panels on our home. From the moment I first met with their representative, Jerry Sicinski, to when all the panels were up and running, these folks were professional, attentive and thorough. The owner of the company was on site during the installation and answered any questions I had throughout the entire process. Every single worker was polite and professional. Nothing was sub contracted out. When you decide to go the solar route this is most definitely the company that you want to go with. I couldn't be any happier and I can tell you - so will you!
100% The best solar company around
We did our research for almost 6 months, many companies tried to over sells us devices that we won't need. May Electric was the only one 100 % honest and advice us what is was just need it. Josh went trough all the paperwork need it. Bill (the owner) was on the roof since they started working as hard as the rest of the guys. The arrived on time and completed the job the same day. We can't be more satisfied than what we are at this point. Can't wait till I open my next power bill and see my friends faces. Is a win win situation at this point with the tax credit, our property increased an extra 20000 dls (more than we payed for the complete set up. Also we are very pleased about helping our world doing this transition. May Electric is the way to go 100% USA pan r ls and parts with 25 years warranty.
Solar Panels Installation
I choose May Electric Solar Division because they explained every phase of all that would be involved to have solar power installed , they met with us and help with all papers to be filled out and signed . the installation was done in one day with a full crew and cleaned up.I WOULD RECOMMEND MAY ELECTRIC WITH 5 STARS !!
instalation was quick, workers were polite,& job was well done.
I have to say that May Electric far far exceeded my expectations; their workmanship was amazing, attention to detail superb, answered all my questions, everyone was polite and professional - i would use them again in a heartbeat and have already recommended them to many folks.
The Best in the State of Florida! They Know SOLAR better than anyone!
Josh Hubbard and Tab are the most knowledgeable folks I have ever spoke with in the area of Solar technologies and #Green Energy! They are professional and can help home owner save literally Thousands of dollars $! Tax incentives, Write offs, smaller electric bills and better for our environment! Future generations will thank you and YOU will thank me for the recommendation!
Excellent service and professionalism.
Great experience from start to finish. Very quick response to initial inquiry. They kept their promises, met deadlines, and were very professional and answered every question we could throw at them. Highly recommend them for any electrical need but especially solar if you are considering it. Bill the owner and his team are number 1 in my book..
last year around this time we decided to power our house with solar panels using MAY ELECTRIC SOLAR DIVISION as our contractors.they were very dedicated in their approach of the panels and very on toip on their craft.now a year later me and my wife can testify on how pleased we are of having made that decision.our power bills have averaged zero for most of the year and we are looking forward on many more years to come of this god given gift that we FLORIDIANS have all year around.THE SUN.
The right choice
We had 5 companies in to quote us and every one of them had the best "equipment" after speaking to William, on his case studies and experiences, if you want truthful answers that are unbiased get a quote from the solar department of may electric. Mike
If you are serious about solar
Hire a company that is serious about solar also. If you have any questions they will be answered. 2% voltage drop code? 2% they have the calculations and design and answers on why it matters. I am so happy I did not buy from a sales rep with another company. these people are trained and informed. If you want to deal with a company that is more interested in giving you a satisfactory service than receiving a payment go with this company. No liens, all cash accounts. Awesome! I will recommend may electric to everyone. , dennis
Micro inverters are the way!
Tab you guys were 5,000$ less then the other company same solar panels same system they were going to install in size, However they quoted me Solarworld panels with an SMA inverter. I made the right choice you were my third company I called with the best price with better equipment Enphase inverters and Solar world panels. With 4 locations facing 4 different azimuth directions Enphase energy is the only inverter system that would work properly for my home. Thank Tab!
The work has been done very well according to both the building inspector and electrical inspector. My question is whether I'm on Solar now, or if I have to wait for Duke to remove that portable machine that has been here for at least 3 months. Am I still being charged by Duke or not. Also, will I be getting monthly bills from solar or is it up to me to decide when I will pay the bill. I'm still unsure as to what is happening. I thought the box next to the new breaker box was supposed to tell me what panels are working, but it says web 0. I'm sorry I have questions..
Excellent price & Excellent work
Josh, the sales manager, set the tone for service & integrity. Billy, the owner, followed through with a first rate installation done in less than a day. Billy grew up in the roofing business with his Dad. He is now a Master Electrician. A match you "May"think made in heaven for installing photo-voltaic solar panels. I would be happy to show my system & comparative power bills with anyone interested, contact the company for my phone number. Jerry S.
Installed 24 solar panels to generate solar power to whole house.
Josh was very knowledgeable and able to discuss the system in a way we could understand. No pressure, very pleasant. Didn't try to sell us what we didn't need and patient with all our questions. We met many solar salespeople and decided May Electric offered the most comprehensive, best quality, and pricing. They had great references which we checked out. Josh was always responsive and available when we needed him. The installation by Billy May, owner/electrician and his own staff was efficiently done in one day. We were impressed by their politeness and professionalism. They worked quickly, were organized, and cleaned up after themselves.
Awesome work.
Installed a solar system on our home. Awesome work and quality. Thank you.
good and prompt service
Would have May Electric do more work if opportunity arises.
I am pleased with my choice
After making my decision on hiring the solar division of may electric my system was installed within 2 days down payment to the final inspection by Hillsborough county. The longest part was waiting for Teco to install the net meter...2 weeks. Over all I am very happy with my choice. I couldn't imagine anyone doing a better job or being as professional as this outfit. They are definitely worth calling if you are considering solar power for your home. Brian
After years of researching and wanting solar electric, we made the best decision in choosing May Electric. We wanted a competent, honest, and professional company and that's what we got from May Electric. Billy and his team went above and beyond to make us happy.
Serious solar company
This company is serious about what they do. Very professional, a can do attitude by everyone in the company. This is the best company I have ever contracted with. I am very pleased with the whole process. The after hours availability worked nicely with my schedule also.
I did a lot of research then chose The Solar Division of May Electric
I did a lot of research into solar itself and came across May Electric Company. Bill May came to my residence to answer a lot of questions from me in which the one big question is the fear of the unknown. To all the na sayers that told me that solar doesn't work and that you?ll be very disappointed with it as well as you?re hard earned money will be gone to boot. Well I?m here to tell you that I?m glad that I didn't listen to you all. When Bill explained to me how much it was going to cost, how it was going to work, and was able to get the financing that I needed in order for it to make financial sense for me, it was a no brainier. There was no pressure at all; Bill was honest and patient in answering every bit of all of my questions thoroughly. Rather than take two days to do the installation like other companies. May Electric sent a full crew and did the whole thing in just under �of a day to include the free solar attic fan installed. They did not send sub-contractors either; instead I received professionally qualified installers who were properly licensed for all of the install stages. They came on time when they said that they would, ready to work and professional looking. If you have ever dealt with contractors in the past this is a breath of fresh air. May Electric Company?s electrician was very helpful in getting all the documents required to get my new meter from Duke Energy and hooking up the option to use my generator in a way that allows me to safely utilize the PV solar panels with micro inverters in the event of a power frailer. Again to the na sayers that said there was no way that the solar panels could ever be used in a power outage in conjunction with using a very small generator which I found not to be true. They did everything they said they would do and they were excellent in communicating with me during the whole process from start to finish. I have been burnt badly in the past by contractors, so I am very tough and very hard to please. But rest assured, you will not go wrong with bill and his company. After the work was completed I have had the chance to see several power bills. I?m very glad to say that I'm impressed and very pleased. It is one of my little joys in life in fighting back on the high cost of living expenses to receive my Duke Energy bill each month with $0.00 or little amount owed for energy use each month and with the right type of financing my monthly payment is no more than my average monthly electric bill would have been.
I quoted five different companies for my off the grid solar power, after the fact I was even happier because I choce the company with the best price, best equipment, always professional, respectfull, walked us though the porcess, we know what was caming next, and what to expect, in other words said what they did and did what they said. Tustworthy, friendly. Thanks to all the guys Amazing work!
Not your average solar contractor
This company was totally different than any other company I met with. No pressure at all, the sales team was honest and patiently answered all my questions. The crew that came out with the owner leading them were absolutely top notch. Every thing went as promised. The sales team was more like a conversation than a sales routine and the installation crew was a surgical operation. Very impressive! I highly recommend giving may electric a call before you commit to anyone one else. You will be impressed. Top notch service and solar products. This company is an open book no hidden agenda they will answer all your questions.
7.9kw solar system
System installed as desired, cost what Bill Mays said it would cost, works as Bill Mays said it would work, very happy with the system, installation and May's service.
Very efficient, helpful, knowledgeable.
We are very impressed with the results of the installation. The workers were extremely friendly and competent. The solar panels were installed in half a day. All the work was done very professionally. Also William, the electrician, was very helpful to us getting the documents required to get our new meter from Duke Energy. Hooking up the option to use our generator in a way that allows us to safely utilize the PV solar panes with micro inverters in the event of a power is a very nice feature. We purchased only the number of PV panels that Josh Hubbard recommended. Another company that we looked at suggested installing the maximum number of panels allowed for a basic Photovoltaic Solar panel system; they said that there was no way that the solar panels could be used in a power outage using a generator. We found this to be untrue. We are very pleased to have gone with May Electric, The Solar Division.
Competent, Professional, Easy to Work With - Highly Recommend.
When I first set out to put in solar panels I did a lot of research that led me to May Electric. After meeting with Josh Hubbard I felt like I could make a decision then and there without interviewing other companies. I am glad I did. There were some hiccups with respect to permits (not unusual in Largo I understand) but the May people were great about all aspects of the transaction. Rather than take two days to do the installation they sent a full crew and did the whole thing in one day. They did everything they said they would do and were excellent at communicating with me. They responded quickly to every question and concern. I am one tough old geezer and very hard to please but I don't think you could go far wrong using these nice folks. I would be glad to discuss with anyone that would like more details.
Solar Panel fascination vs reality!
My expectations of the solar panels delivered as promised. I felt like there was so much misinformation out on the market. The big question is the fear of the unknown. The price vs results was pretty impressive. All the notions that I heard where that it was so expensive. The reality was my wife and I showed our power bills to May Electric, they were reviewed and a cost was figured on how long to pay back in years for the system. After the work was completed I have had the chance to see several power bills and I'm impressed. My awareness level for power consumption has been elevated with the ability to see the power production anytime I want on our system. Thank you May Electric for the quality I was looking for and the professionalism.
Someday hope to add even more panels.
About 3 years ago some of my neighbors here in Land O Lakes were having solar installed by May Elect. After talking with him and getting some prices we had 23 panels installed. I can't say enough good things about how professional the whole job went. Everything came in as priced and the elect bill when down even more than was estimated. We would most highly recommend May Elect to anyone considering solar.
great job!
extremely pleased and highly recommend! researched several different companies before deciding to go with them and I am very glad I did!
Great experience
Came on time, finished on time and have had no problems with solar panels-they have worked great for 21/2 years since installed
Ging green with solar conversion
Our salesperson, Jeff Hudson, and the William May company helped us install a solar system on our roof late in 2013. We had been accepted into Duke Energy's solar conversion program. Prior to the solar conversion our energy costs averaged approximately $110.00/month. Immediately our monthly average dropped to $0.00 (except, of course, for that silly meter charge of $8.98/month). We paid cash for the system and with rebates, tax credits, etc our ROI was estimated to be 2.33 yrs. It is one of my little joys to receive our Duke Energy bill each month with $0.00 owed for energy use. Our neighbors saw our installation, heard about our monthly non-bill, and opted to sign up for solar conversion with the William May company too. They too are paying $0.00 for monthly energy use. Love it. An we get to wear a white hat all the time. We are the good guys!! thank you William May for all the helpful information you continue to provide and for being responsive to our inquiries.
So impressed with William May, I went to work for him!
I got introduced to solar voltaic a few years ago, I'm not a salesman, but solar seemed like something I could sell that people could benefit from and actually come out money ahead in the long run. My introduction was through an acquaintance who had started a solar sales company with whom I would do solar sales for. My only requirement was I would not have to pressure sell people and that the system we were selling would live up to our sales presentation. I immeadiatly bought a solar system and other associated products to eliminate my electric bill initially, as I couldn't justify selling something that I myself wasn't using, even though the owner of the sales company did not have solar. This was when I met William May owner of May Electric. I realized William was the electricial contractor, and I was just working with a fast talking sales company, with William I really learned about solar. It was like a breath of fresh air working for William May. He was dedicated to selling only the best American Made solar panels, inverters and solar equipment. When a customer had technical questions he was always available to meet them in person or by phone to answer their questions, even if it was related to electrical other than solar. William has been present, and on the roof at every job I have sold. If a solar system was not right for a customer, he would not hesitate to tell the customer it wasn't right for them, and he never tried to sell a larger system than one of my customers needed. You will find working with William a breath of fresh air, and his sales people friendly and informative, not pushy like some of the water treatment and window sales people I've had in my home, and tried to politely get to leave.
Zero electric bill but more money
We where not looking to spend what we did on our solar system, May electric was about $1250.00 more then other quotes we had. We trusted Williams calculations on why we should pay more for micro inverters over a central inverter. After our tax credit its $875.00 more about 10 months extra on the ROI. The monitoring is probably worth it to most people I guess. My wife was sold on it, with the "never a surprise electric bill" as william would say, "due to a faulty system" since micro inverters monitor it daily. I just wish the cost would have been a little more even to central inverters. William said in 2 years I would be thanking him for choosing micro inverters rather than a central inverter. One good case he had, that I agreed on was that when insurance companies start making things difficult for solar electric homes the easiest attack ( the only creditable attack in his opinion) would be on the high voltage DC systems like central inverters and house fires.
All my questions answered
I looked in to solar for 2 years. I spoke to 8 different solar companies over a 6 month period. I asked a lot of questions most of them, I knew the answers to... The only contractor that was consistent in every conversation and 100% truthful on every question was Mr May. It got to a point I was just trying to stump him on a technical question. Good luck if you try. The fact that he is also on the installation running the crews made him the only logical choice for me. After almost 2 years of having solar with absolutely zero problems, I can vouch that may electric is the right choice for anyone thinking of going solar. Mike
Nice installation by knowledgeable company. With available credits it is a no brainer! My system will pay for itself in 6.5 years. I paid cash. However, if financecd, the monthly payment would have been no more than my average monthly electric bill. Plus, solar electric adds 20% to the value of your home. Did I say no brainer? Craig Muth, Lakeland, Florida. PS, My electric bill for April 2015 was $0. Plus, I had a 975kw credit!!!!!
Getting solar installed on second home by May Electric next week
Billy & Josh are great to work with. They were the only "reasonably priced" solar company that I got estimates from after searching for two years (since I realized the benefits of solar in my home in NJ). They're about to put solar on my other Florida home that doesn't even have a clear south view... I'm confident that my east/west gables will offset the entire bill (house isn't used much). With my south facing home, it's been almost a year since the install, and today I did the math. This is April, 2015. My system was installed in May, 2014, so we have two bills to go for a true comparison, but in 10 months of comparison I've had $682 LESS of an electric bill. I am a total fan of solar, and Billy May Electric is the way to go. ABSOLUTELY! I wish I could get him to come up to NJ and install more panels on my home up there. Price and value is incredible!
Knowledgeable, Professional, Helpful
They installed the system in a professional manner within the time they specified. They did a nice professional looking job and they coordinated inspections and hook up with the electric co. The system is performing as expected. They responded quickly to any inquiries we had. We would highly recommend May Electric.
I had a 36 panel roof top solar voltaic system installed on the South side my home in Sebring in December of 2013. Our electric bills were averaging $150 per month prior to the system installation. Now I am averaging $30 per month (which includes the $8.98 meter charge). With the Duke Energy rebate and the Federal tax credit, The system cost me about $1,500. Therefore, I was paid back within 14 months. What's not to like? GREAT INVESTMENT!
honest work
The solar division of William May electric is excellent to work with. Mr. May is an honest contractor who won't oversell you on a solar system. He will match your power requirements with the appropriate panel and inverter combination, thereby optimizing the amount of solar power you can generate at the lowest price point. I will continue to work with Mr. May, as the solar panels become more efficient, sometimes it makes economic sense to upgrade the panel and get a credit for the panel that has been on the roof for the last 5 years.
Installed my Solar Panels at Two Locations
The Solar Division of May Electric provided and installed my 10Kw solar PV system on my garage roof and hooked up all the electrics and inverter to the grid. I was so happy with the installation and professionalism of May Electric that I used them again to install a 10Kw system on one of my rental properties. Both systems are generating enough electric to reduce my electric bills by around 70% and these are 4000 sq. ft homes. I would recommend them for any solar work.
Top notch contractor
Our Company has had the pleasure of working with May Electric on several occasions and they have been a pleasure to work with. When the opportunity presents itself, we look forward to teaming with Mr. May, knowing that the job will be completed to the highest standards of professionalism.
May Solar Division
We are very pleased with the performance and workmanship of the solar panals installed by May Electric. We would certainly recommend May Electric to anyone. .
Solar system choice and installation
This company took the time to review the location my dwelling is in referencing it to the rise and setting of the sun during the different seasons...they suggested the proper equipment to give our home the proper amount of KWH...and it's working as it was explained to us before it was installed...long story short, affordable. Up and running in a weeks time...that's including county/Duke Energy inspectors timing...I am enjoying the savings...kudos to all the workers...they did all the work in a professional/timely manner... Thank you Mr.and Mrs. Hernandez
Solar Panels Without the Drama
I have been trying to get Solar Panels for my home for the past 9 months. Sales people would call, administrators would try to "prequalify" with a lot of insulting questions, no one ever showed up. Then I called Mayes Electric and left a rather discouraged voicemail. To my surprise, the owner returned my call within the hour, scheduled an appointment for the next day and I had Solar Panels on my roof before the end of the week. That is beyond impressive. These guys go the extra mile for you. Not only did they get my Solar Panels installed, the owner (Billy Mayes) fixed my propane operated whole house generator and replaced all my lighting with LED lights (that I supplied) I can not say enough GOOD things about this company. Take the plunge and get OFF the grid with someone you can rely on.
Great Experience
The Solar Division of May Electric did a fantastic job. They were reliable, honest and answered all of my questions. The job was completed within a week and they did a very quality job. More companies should have this kind of customer service. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering solar. Our electric bill has decreased more than what we expected. The investment will pay for itself in less time than what May Electric estimated.
Billy May and May electric is outstanding!
Billy May and his May Electric team were outstanding in installing my 11.7 kW DC solar PV which has been 100% reliable and after the installation all 44 of my solar panels and inverters operated without any trouble and continue to do so for a year and a half now. Because of Billy's can-do attitude and outstanding service I have gone back to Billy to install 20kWh of battery backup to operate when the grid goes down and to keep the solar PV operating when the grid is down. If you are thinking about installing solar PV I highly recommend that you work with Billy May. Dale Bradshaw Sebring Florida
Installed a new 10KW solar photovoltaic grid -tie system on a custom ground mount in my yard.
May Electric performed a free solar site evaluation, selected the optimum location, and had the engineering performed on a custom ground mount. They worked with me to select and procure top quality American made high efficiency solar panels, panel optimizers, and inverters. They used their experience and knowledge to guide me through the successful application for solar rebates with the power company and kept in the loop with the power company, all inspections and the Florida Solar System Center review and approval of the installation.. They also arranged for an interest free one year financing for the system that helped spread my share of the cost over a longer time frame.They even installed a connection for an emergency generator at no additional cost. All of their work was performed on time, in a first class and cordial manner. They followed up to make sure everything worked properly and responded quickly on the only callback due to a loose connection in one module. Fortunately we had jointly selected a product that would safely isolate such connection problems without a fire risk. The system has now been in operation for 21 months and has flawlessly performed by saving me about 80% on my power bills. As an aside, I can speak accurately to May Electric's quality service as I am a retired Professional Engineer and Florida Building Contractor with over 44 years of experience in such matters.
Design, Permitting and installation of 44 Panel Suniva Optimus System.
I interviewed a total of 4 different companies that advertised Solar installations. Billie May of May Electric was the ONLY individual that fully understood the "rules", tax consequences and was fully versed in the requirements of TECO (my electric provider). After settling on the size of our system (based on our electricity use and future plans) May Electric proceeded with the the permitting and installation. All required paperwork was prepared by May Electric. The installation was completed as promised in our contract...1/3 payment on Contract signing, 1/3 payment on completion of installation and the final payment on system startup (you must wait until the electric company installs your Net Meter).

William May informed us of the cost for 30 Solar Panels, the rebate from that Solar company, the 5% cash rebates from William May Inc. because there wasn't a loan needed, rebates from Progress Energy Sunsense, and Federal Rebate of 30% Tax Credit. We were placed on a waiting list. We were accepted for all the above which was avaiable before September 1, 2012. We invested $36,801 up front. After all utilities and Government rebates, 2013 tax credits and 2014 tax credits, the actual investment was $2546. We are very pleased with our $19.00 monthly electric bill. The excess electricity at the end of the year will be paid back to us in a refund check. William May, Inc. will give excellent service to all that inquire about solar panels and/or purchase solar panels. May Electric will be well informed about the available rebates or tax credits that might be available, now.
Amazing Knowledge & Customer Service!
I met with William to go over my solar desires. I did quite a bit of research and for the most part I knew what I wanted. Whereas many other companies simply wanted to sell me what "they normally do", I wanted what I felt was a good fit for my house. William then pointed out some things to enhance my design given his extensive knowledge. When I asked the other companies about his recommendations, they really could not speak to them as "it was not the way they do it". My take on that is they can only do it a single way and they were not able to think outside the box. William was able to help me customize my setup to meet my specific goals. I am happy to say that my system was installed on July 27th. Since then, I actually have had a net credit of about $10. So no electric bill over the past 8 months. I am really happy with it! I am so happy, I am putting the same setup on my parent's house and I am having William do the install too! You will not go wrong having May Electric do you solar system. I found them to be extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and they also had great pricing. If you are interested in seeing my rooftop install, ask William to see Bob's install as it is on the 3 level of a stilt house and I have a circular stairway that goes up to it as it is on the same level as my crow's nest which makes it easy to see the work they did. Thanks May Electric! Bob
Great Service, Great Savings!
Billy was referred by a friend who at that time had just installed solar panels on his house. After contacting Billy he came to my house and explained to me step by step about the whole process of installing solar panels, including the technical aspects and most importantly what would be my expected savings. He answered all my questions and I felt very comfortable to decide to go ahead with the project. That was the right decision. Billy and his team got me up and running with my 38 panels (10Kw system) in no time after a very professional installation. It's been about 10 months since I started using my solar system and savings have been even higher than Billy initially predicted. So, I'm very happy with my investment and with all the work Billy and his company has done. He delivered everything he promised he would.
Home owner with William May solar installation
May Electric Installed our 40 panel solar system 22 months ago. We have not paid for electricity in our home since installation. William handled every aspect of the system from day one from permitting to rebates.
William/Josh, Soloar System appears to be functioning O.K
we finally achieved Energy Produced (kWh) over 40 on two days March 29 and 30. Actual 41.2 and 40.3 !!! Sincerely, Don Pease
excellent vendor, installation, results
we had great experience with May Solar. The neat professional installation is an asset to the roof appearance.It is not offensive. They are pleasant, attentive, efficient. Our monthly electric expense was reduced 60 - 70%! We will continue to recommend May Solar.

Best-In-Class Professionals

Solar panels.
Our solar panel installation went very smoothly. Bill May was there during the entire installation. They were extremely professional. Clean up was as if they had never been here. We are still awaiting our first complete electric invoice, however, monitoring is showing there should be a considerable savings. Bill has been very responsive to any questions we may have had. We would HIGHLY recommend May Electric-The Solar Division.....Thank you, Bill.
May Electric Lights up my day
Everything Billy promised was delivered, on schedule as agreed to. The May Electric install team was very professional and courteous. Although weather caused some delay in the plan, Billy worked continuously with me keeping me informed and also working with the roofing contractor to coordinate the install. I am very well pleased and highly recommend Billy and the May Electric Team for all your solar and electrical needs. Production seems to be on schedule will know more now that I have the monitoring system in place.. looking forward to seeing my next electric bill, which I had dreaded in the past:)

A Year With Solar
Our experience with May Electric has been very positive. From installation to the present we have been pleased with the product and the response to any concerns we have had. The company representative is to be commended for his professionalism.
Honest, Prompt and Professional
Recently, May Electric won my confidence and was contracted to install an 8.25kW PV system at my residence. I had several questions when I first met William May at a home show in St Petersburg. All my questions were listened to and answered directly. When I later had location specific questions, William made the time to come to my residence, inspect the areas I had questions about and taught me about options available. Once we agreed on terms, a schedule was set for the installation. Communication was excellent on status, next steps, permitting, etc. The installation was completed ahead of schedule. The team that showed up for the installation was well organized and professional. It took less than a day to complete the installation and check operation. I greatly appreciated the professionalism of the entire team. I tend to be curious, ask questions and "observe" a lot and the entire crew never made me feel like I was in the way. Overall, I was impressed at how well orchestrated the installation was and how quickly everything came together. I would definitely recommend May Electric.
Nice Work! from an anonymous message
Name R Email firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Nice work Message: You just installed a project across the street from my house. This is the third solar system that I have seen go in our community in the past year and a half. I cant afford solar at this time, however if I do consider it later I will be calling you. Your company was impressive. Your guys showed up at 7:30 am and worked until they were done. Your workers were not messing around! They installed the panels like it was a life support system for the house and it was critical, that it was installed by night fall. The other systems in our community were installed by guys standing around half the time talking on phones for days. My wife said you looked like a bunch of orange ants running around in those bright shirts you wear. Nice work. R.
Money Well Spent!
May Electric had the best price in my area for the premium equipment I desired. They were punctual, incredibly friendly, and efficient - from start to finish. I couldn't have asked for the process to go any more smoothly! My husband and I are very excited about finally going green! We have hired many contractors over the years, and believe me we have seen it all, so having a company as straightforward and professional as May Electric was a breath of fresh air for us. They definitely eased any reservations we had going into a complex project such as this; it's a nice change of pace that when my husband had any reservations/ concerns/ or questions, he was answered in a timely manner and not given half answers. May Electric is concerned with quality work first and foremost, which sets them apart from other contractors we had attempted working with previously. I don't give out such accolades lightly, but the customer service and quality of work we received was absolutely wonderful. We are thrilled and have already told everyone on our block! I would recommend May Electric for your solar and electric needs. You won't be disappointed!
Solar Power Install
I was sceptical of solar to start with, but have now had it for close to 3 years, and wish I had done it sooner. William May was the owner/operator of May Electric whom I dealt with from start to finish. He was one of the best contractors I have ever dealt with, and helped me through the process from beginning to end, and stood behind his work years after install. Very honest, fair and listens to your concerns. All other Solar contractors I dealt with prior to using William May used high pressure sales tactics, and looking back I am so thankthull I used May Electric!!! I would HIGHLY recommend useing him.
Ideal choice
Most experiences are built upon good communication. From our initial contact with May Electric Solar Division it was apparent our business and satsfaction were of paramount importance. M. E. Solar Division readily provided additional sources that helped reassure us solar energy was the right choice. Honesty, reliability and integrity are qualities necessary when undertaking an investment and project of this scale. We were reasonably certain May electric was the organization for us We were definite once we compared other solar vendors and spoke with several satisfied customers.
Solar installation
William May has installed a 10 kW system and my electric bill is practicall cut in half. They did an excellent job in a timely manner. They handled everything down to making the appointment for inspection. I am highly satisfied with the workmanship, with the solar system and the professional manner he and his team handled it.

May Electric
The salesman was very friendly and knowledgeable. There was no high pressure salesmanship during the home visit. The installation was completed on time and in a professional manner. The only glitch was a communication problem between May Electric and Duke Energy as to the operational date of the system which was corrected as soon as it was detected. This was a very good experience and I would recommend May Electric for your solar needs.
am Happy
The system is working good, at first it took some time to get the paper work from the power company done. The salesman never give me the actual contract and calculation that I requested. because I had some doubt about the numbers of panels that I was suppose to get. T he monitor that I have in side the house never worked as promise. I was told that I can use my phone to monitor the power that I was receiving from the sun I have call many time never have a return call. we ware talking of 16 panels, 3.5 KW, I got 14 panels, 3.0 Kw. The only ting that make me fill good is that my electric bill is lower. not what they promised, but its lower. I wonder if something goes wrong what will happen. who will help me. I have recommended other people to them they have not returned the call jet.
Great Company
We had Solar panels installed by the solar division of May Electric in the fall of 2014. From start to finish they were extremely helpful and up front with the whole process. The installation looks excellent and was actually complimented by the roof inspector on the quality of installation. We have not received an electric bill since :) We are extremely satisfied with the quality of the panels, and installation and would definitely recommended May electric & solar to anyone considering going solar.

Solar installation at my Englewood home.
I am, as my wife says, "Wordy.". In other words, once I get started, it is hard to get me stopped. That will be the case in this review the installation of my solar panels, HVAC, and insulation at my Englewood home, all supervised, and the solar was actually physically installed by Mr. William May himself. I could not ask for a better installation, OR, follow up after the installation! The quality of the work, and the equipment involved was beyond what is expected in today's market. Let that be a lesson to all of William's current field installers! You have big shoes to fill, if you want to do your job right. I would, and DO, recommend your company to anyone wishing to install solar on their home!
Excellent Performance
I have never dealt with a business so customer orientated and honest. I've had my system installed for 3 months now and am very happy with workmanship and final outcome. They were super professional and attentive during the install and went abovè and beyond the call of duty. I highly recommend May electric for any solar and electrical job. Thank you again to Josh and Billy. A++++
I have no electric bill thanks to The Solar Division!
I couldn't be more thankful or write a better review! From start to finish The Solar Division was top notch! To the education I received on all of the different products available, to the options for financing, to the quality of work, look of the system, and production of the system which has completely zeroed out my electric bill, I couldn't be happier! I recommend Billy and his team to everyone I know! Thank you guys again for saving me SO much money!!!!
Sound Company
I would recommend May Electric to anyone considering getting a quality installation for anyone's solar project. From the initial consult all the way to the final inspection. I enjoyed having the feeling of such personal care unlike other contractors I have dealt with in the past. The entire crew was polite, respectful and efficient throughout the entire process. If you are looking for the "right" company, you just found it!
