The Solar Guys are Central Florida’s Solatube Premier Dealer, a family owned and operated company that has served Orlando and Orange County homeowners since 2001. We are Floridians ourselves, so we build every job around what a home in this climate has to withstand, from relentless summer heat to the wind that comes with hurricane season.
Over the years we have installed and tested a wide range of daylighting, ventilation, and insulation products, and the ones we offer today were hand selected because they held up to Florida conditions and delivered the performance and durability our customers count on. That reflects the mission we have held from the beginning, which is to provide homeowners with genuine energy saving solutions by supplying the highest quality products available and backing them with superior customer service. Whatever your home needs, every estimate is free.
Florida’s climate is hard on a home. With a relentless sun, long summers, constant humidity, and a hurricane season that tests every roof, any additions made to your home need to be strong, hurricane rated, and energy saving. The products we install hold up to those conditions season after season, and each one addresses a specific part of what a Central Florida home is up against, from a room that never sees daylight to an attic that traps heat all summer.
The Solar Guys have been installing Solatube tubular skylights since 2001, and we are considered the number one Solatube Premier Dealer in the nation. A Solatube carries daylight down from the roof through a highly reflective tube and into almost any room, with no need for an exterior wall or a window.
That solves a problem common in the older bungalows and ranch homes around College Park, Winter Park, and Conway, which were built long before open floor plans and large windows became popular and often leave interior kitchens, hallways, and baths with little or no natural light. It works just as well in the newer master planned communities of Lake Nona, Baldwin Park, and Winter Garden, where architectural guidelines restrict changes to the roofline, because Solatube offers a low profile sunlight collector that sits discreetly on the roof.
On any of these homes, the system is sealed and installs cleanly on the shingle and concrete tile roofs common across Orange County, without the leaks or heat gain that older glass skylights are known for.
A Solar Star attic fan is one of the most cost effective upgrades available for a Florida home, because it prevents trapped heat from reaching your living space. Powered entirely by its own solar panel, it runs all day at no cost while continuously pulling superheated air out of the attic and drawing cooler air in through the soffit vents. Bringing the attic temperature down eases the strain on an air conditioner that would otherwise run nonstop, helps your roof and its underlayment last longer, and keeps the rooms below noticeably cooler. And because it runs on solar, there is no electrician to hire and nothing added to your monthly bill.
A garage fan makes a real difference in the one part of the house that air conditioning never reaches. It works by continuously venting the hot, stale air that collects in a closed garage and drawing cooler air through in its place, so the space stays usable whether you park a golf cart there, or use it as a workshop or home gym. Keeping the temperature down also protects what you keep inside, since golf cart and power tool batteries wear out quickly in extreme heat, and it stops that heat from working through the wall into the rooms beside the garage.
Replacing an aging skylight is usually a bigger upgrade than homeowners expect. The acrylic bubble units builders installed decades ago weren’t made to withstand this climate, and years of hard sun leave them yellowed, brittle, and prone to leaking. A modern, sealed skylight shuts the water out and cuts the heat gain, and when the goal is more usable daylight, converting the opening to a Solatube delivers far more light with far less heat than the glass it replaces. Either way, you end up with a properly flashed roof penetration built to handle Florida weather.
Insulation is the least glamorous upgrade we install and often the one that helps the most with summer power bills, because most of the heat that loads a Florida home comes straight through the roof. A radiant barrier reflects the sun’s radiant heat away before it can soak into the attic, while blown in insulation fills the gaps and thin spots that let cool air escape and outside heat work its way in. Together they hold temperatures steadier from room to room and let your air conditioner cycle off sooner. Added alongside a Solar Star fan, they are one of the most effective and affordable ways to make an older home more energy efficient.
When a Florida downpour drops a remarkable amount of rain in a matter of minutes, your gutters are all that stand between that water and your foundation, landscaping, and exterior walls. Seamless gutters handle it better than the sectional kind because we fabricate them on site in one continuous run cut to fit your roofline, which removes the seams where ordinary gutters clog, separate, and leak. We match the profile and color to the house, so the finished result carries water away cleanly through the wettest months without looking like an afterthought.
A clogged dryer vent is one of the most overlooked fire risks in a home. Lint builds up along the vent line over time, choking airflow and forcing the dryer to run hotter and longer, which wastes energy and ranks among the leading causes of house fires. Clearing the full run restores that airflow, so clothes dry faster, the machine lasts longer, and the risk drops sharply. Roof vent guards handle a smaller but persistent nuisance, sealing off the openings that birds, rodents, and wasps use to get into an attic while leaving the ventilation those vents provide fully intact.
Every installation is handled by our own certified crews rather than subcontracted out, and we install only genuine Solatube and Solar Star products, built to meet Florida Building Code wind requirements. That standard shows up in our record, with a 5.0 rating across more than 1,285 Google reviews and a full workmanship warranty behind every job.
