Already have solar? Get help with your next project.

Choose the help you need. You can ask about a system installed by another company; the service partner will check the equipment and work required.

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

Separate city permits from county permits

For properties inside the City of Stuart, start with the City Building Division (opens in a new tab). For county-jurisdiction properties, use Martin County's application resource (opens in a new tab). The partner should confirm which applies to the parcel.

Ask for a schedule organized around submitted plans, review comments, inspections and utility approval. The installation day is one milestone within that schedule. Keep approved plans and closeout records available for future roof work or a sale.

Compare a roof replacement and a solar installation together

If the roof will need attention during the equipment's life, include that work in the financial comparison. Ask the roofer and solar partner how the attachment design, flashing and warranty obligations will be coordinated.

Existing panels need a separate removal and reinstallation scope. Request an equipment inventory, storage arrangement, roof-ready handoff and testing plan. The Treasure Coast removal page lists the contract items to settle.

Give commercial and shared-roof projects an operating plan

Business owners should identify site operating hours, tenant contacts, roof access and shutdown constraints. Include the electric account and any available roof or electrical drawings so the partner can evaluate the array without interrupting the facility unexpectedly.

For a condominium or shared roof, determine who owns the roof and who may approve the work. The partner needs those decisions before a proposal can define access, scope and responsibility.

FAQ

Questions from Stuart property owners

Does Palm Beach Solar serve Stuart?

Yes. Stuart is part of our Martin County coverage for solar advice and service coordination. Partner availability and the actual scope are confirmed for the address.

How long does solar installation take in Stuart?

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

Which Stuart office handles my solar permit?

The answer depends on the parcel. The City of Stuart Building Division handles its city jurisdiction, while county-jurisdiction properties follow Martin County's process.

Can you help a Stuart business with an existing system?

Send the system records, roof or repair scope, operating restrictions and electric-account details. A service partner evaluates access, compatibility and the required approvals.

Can I compare cash and financing prices?

Request the cash equipment-and-work price and each financing option's full payment schedule, fees and contract responsibilities. Compare those costs with the modeled remaining utility bill.
