FLORIDA UTILITY FACTS · CHECKED OCTOBER 16, 2026
Your utility bill changes.
Solar gives you another option.
Generate electricity on your roof instead of buying every kilowatt-hour from the grid. The case for solar starts with the facts—not a promise that utility rates only rise.

View service areasDoes solar keep the lights on during an outage?
A standard grid-connected system generally shuts down during an outage. Backup requires compatible battery or generator equipment designed for the loads you want to power. Explore our interactive solar demonstration to see the difference.
Can you replace my roof if it already has solar?
Yes. Origin coordinates panel removal and reinstallation with roof replacement. Equipment handling, storage, sequencing, and warranty requirements are reviewed before work starts.
Do you handle residential and commercial electrical?
Yes. We review electrical projects for homes and businesses, including panels, service upgrades, circuits, wiring, EV charging, and lighting. The scope starts with the property and equipment you have.
How do I get a quote?
Start with your name, phone and project city in the short callback form. Origin will call to discuss your project; no email, address, electric bill or video appointment is needed to send that request. A property-specific proposal follows review of your address, project scope and relevant records. You can also choose the detailed written request or explore a preliminary roof design with Origin Direct.
What outdoor lighting can you help with?
Landscape and architectural lighting, pathways and entries, patios and outdoor living areas, plus controls and existing-system improvements. We review the layout, available power, and your goals before finalizing the scope.
