TESTIMONIALS

“Just wanted to express my gratitude for your services. Your company have saved me from daily issues with our chargers. I can’t thank you enough. My life is so much easier with workable chargers including my own car.”

Elis F. - Municipal Employee

“When the solar provider contracted to remove my panels for a roof replacement failed to perform my contract, Optimus stepped in and honored the financial terms as well as the schedule for the roofing contractor, which allowed me to get a new roof and my panels reinstalled on time and within budget. I am appreciative of their service to Solar adopters and commitment to the reputation of rooftop solar.”

Phil B. - Homeowner

"Optimus stepped in when I was having difficulty finishing my solar energy project with the previously contracted vendor. They saw the project over the finish line at no additional cost to me over and above the original agreement. Their assistance made all the difference and I appreciate their willingness to assist owners in my situation."

Heather P. - Homeowner

“We diligently searched for solar providers for quite some time, settling on Optimus Solar due to their professionalism and fair pricing. We are thrilled with the look and performance of our 11.5kW system, offsetting almost all of our electricity bill! Great to work with a local company support Central Florida.”

Brian C. - Homeowner

“We had a 11.59 kWp, 38 panel system installed on our house in Mount Dora. The Optimus Solar team demonstrated a high level of knowledge, stayed true to their turn-key price even while upgrading our main electrical feed. Optimus handled all the permits, to include presenting to the historic board. All the work was performed in less time than my wife and I anticipated. They do great work and we're glad we chose them for our solar energy installation.”

John M. - Homeowner

“Investing in a solar PV system for my property in Mount Dora was something I had talked about for years. I am so happy I finally made the decision, and I am glad we decided to work with Optimus Solar. They are professional, fast and ultra-knowledgeable about every detail. I love that they set me up with the app that allows me to track my home’s solar production in real-time!”

Why Floating Solar is Making Waves in Florida’s Energy Market

We’ve stated the obvious about the Sunshine State before, but Florida remains an ideal location for solar energy. With dry land at a premium, floating solar arrays are popping up in the state and offering an innovative option that is helping to expand solar adoption. These systems, also known as “floatovoltaics,” allow solar panels to be installed on bodies of water like retention ponds and reservoirs—maximizing clean energy production without taking up valuable land.

Optimus Energy Solutions Installs Solar Array for Fort Knox Self Storage

As businesses continue to look for ways to decrease expenses, utilizing solar energy systems is becoming more and more common.

In October of last year, Optimus Energy Solutions flipped the switch on its latest commercial solar project, a 90kw system for Fort Knox Self Storage in Okahumpka, Fla., right outside The Villages & Leesburg. The newly-constructed storage facility features three storage buildings with drive-up and climate-controlled units as well as three covered parking canopies offering secure and weather-proof storage for RVs, boats, trailers, and large vehicles.

The Future of NEVI Funding: A Private Solution

Over the past few years, Optimus Energy Solutions has worked with local governments throughout the United States to help secure federal funding for EV charging stations in their communities. Unfortunately, it looks like it may be years until the $5.5 billion that has been sent to states for the National Electric Vehicle Initiative, or NEVI, will be spent.

Optimus Energy Solutions is still working with local governments to help build out their charger network. Only now, it is without the restrictions of NEVI and other federal grants and any significant outlay of capital from the government on a federal, state and local level.
