The 5 kW minimum applies to new residential solar installations. Repairs, panel removal and battery requests are reviewed separately.

Use the city application process for city properties

For an address inside Port St. Lucie, use the city's current Building Department solar application and checklist. The official city website (opens in a new tab) is the starting point for those resources. County-jurisdiction addresses follow St. Lucie County's published process (opens in a new tab).

Ask the partner to identify the application, drawings, inspection sequence and utility milestones for the work. If reroofing and solar removal are combined, establish how both permit scopes will be handled.

Update the load model when the household is changing

A recent move, new pool equipment, an EV or a replacement HVAC system can change what historical bills say about future use. Provide the dates and expected loads so the proposal can state which consumption assumptions it uses.

Request the modeled annual energy output and the basis for roof orientation, shade and equipment losses. Compare the resulting electric cost with the full solar purchase or payment obligations.

Keep expansion and reroof work in distinct scopes

An owner removing panels for a new roof may also want more production or a battery. Ask for the removal and reinstallation price first, then a separate price for any proposed equipment change.

Adding panels can affect inverter compatibility, racking, utility approval and the original agreement. The partner should document the proposed change before treating it as part of the reroof work. Existing monitoring records help establish the starting condition.

FAQ

Questions from Port St. Lucie property owners

Is Port St. Lucie part of your service area?

Yes. Port St. Lucie is included in our expanded St. Lucie County coverage. Partner availability and acceptance are confirmed for the property and requested work.

How long does solar installation take in Port St. Lucie?

Physical installation takes 1–2 days. The full process from signed contract to system activation has recently averaged about 60 days, including St. Lucie County or City of Port St. Lucie permitting depending on the parcel. Your installation partner confirms the schedule for your property.

Can you add panels during roof replacement?

A partner can review the option. Expansion needs a separate equipment, electrical, permit, utility and agreement check before it is included in the contract.

What should a new homeowner provide?

Send the address, roof history and available electric bills. Explain the expected occupancy and any EV, pool or HVAC changes so the design assumptions are documented.

How is the final project schedule established?

The partner identifies design, permit review, inspections, equipment availability and utility approval for the address. Request those milestones in writing with the responsibilities for each.
