See how Florida solar works—and what happens after you choose Sunstorm.
Start with the energy flow, then follow a typical project from the first conversation through installation and support.
How sunshine becomes usable power for a Florida home.
The animation follows energy from the roof to the home, battery, and utility connection. It is a useful starting point before getting into system size, equipment, or payment options.
- Solar panels produce direct-current electricity when light reaches the cells.
- An inverter converts that electricity into the alternating current used by the home.
- The home can use solar production as it is generated; compatible batteries can store energy for later.
- Utility rules determine how exported energy is measured and credited, and fixed utility charges may still apply.

Florida sunlight reaches the solar panels, where photovoltaic cells create electrical current. The inverter converts that power into the form used by household appliances. The home uses available solar energy, compatible storage can retain energy for later use, and eligible excess production may flow through the meter to the utility under the customer’s applicable interconnection and billing rules.
What a well-managed solar project looks like.
The second video follows a homeowner through the major handoffs. Your exact scope and timing will vary, but the process should never feel mysterious.
- Consultation and proposalUsage, goals, property details, system assumptions, equipment, and payment choices are reviewed.
- Site survey and final designThe roof, electrical system, measurements, and construction details are checked before installation.
- Permitting and coordinationRequired documents move through local authorities, inspections, and the utility process.
- Installation and follow-throughThe approved system is installed, inspected, interconnected, activated, and explained to the homeowner.
The video illustrates an example journey. Pricing, savings, timelines, equipment, financing eligibility, and payment terms vary by project. Some financing structures may offer no upfront payment, but fees, total cost, and contract terms still require review.
