    New Home. New Roof. The Perfect Time to Go Solar.

    If you’ve recently built or purchased a new construction home in Orlando, Horizon West, Lake Nona, Poinciana, St. Cloud, Clermont, or any of Central Florida’s booming new developments, you’re sitting on the ideal solar opportunity. Brand-new roofs, modern electrical systems, clean structural engineering data, and no existing roof wear mean your installation will be smooth, efficient, and optimized from the very first day. Castaways Energy specializes in solar for new construction homes across the Orlando metro.

    New Construction Solar Services in Central Florida

    Castaways Energy designs and installs solar systems specifically optimized for new construction homes throughout Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Lake Counties. We work from builder plans when available to engineer your system before you move in, and we coordinate with your builder on electrical panel sizing, conduit pre-routing, and roof penetration planning to deliver the cleanest possible installation. Services include rooftop solar, Tesla Powerwall or Enphase battery storage, Level 2 EV charging, and Enphase or SPAN monitoring.

    Solar Incentives for New Construction Buyers in Orlando

    New construction home buyers in Orlando access the same powerful incentive stack as any other solar customer: the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit, Florida’s solar equipment sales tax exemption, net metering through OUC or Duke Energy, and Florida’s property tax protection for solar upgrades. Installing solar during or immediately after construction allows you to incorporate the cost into your mortgage or home equity position — often the most financially efficient approach available.

    Financing Solar for Your New Orlando Home

    New construction buyers often have several financing options unavailable to existing homeowners — including solar cost rolled into a construction loan or new purchase mortgage, $0-down solar loans, and battery-inclusive payment structures. Castaways Energy works with your lender and builder to identify the most cost-effective financing path for your specific situation.

    Your Local Solar Experts. Trusted. Certified. Award-Winning.

    Castaways Energy is Central Florida’s premier solar company — locally owned, Orlando-based, and serving homeowners and businesses across Orange, Osceola, Lake, and Seminole Counties. Backed by a National Dealer of the Year award and nearly two decades of experience, we install everything from REC and Maxeon solar panels and Tesla Powerwall battery storage to EV charging and SPAN smart panels — all handled in-house, from consultation to activation, with no subcontractors.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Solar for New Construction Homes

    Either works well, but adding solar during construction has real advantages: the roof is warranty-fresh, there’s no disruption to your daily life, builder coordination can reduce installation costs, and you can incorporate solar into your construction loan or mortgage. Post-move-in installations are also straightforward — the key is doing it within the first 1–2 years while the roof is new.

    Yes. Castaways Energy works directly with builders to incorporate solar-ready conduit runs, oversized electrical panels, and optimized attic access during construction — reducing installation cost and improving system aesthetics. Ask your builder to put us in touch early in the process.

    We serve new construction communities throughout the Orlando metro including Horizon West, Lake Nona, Laureate Park, Storey Park, Waterford Lakes, Poinciana, Harmony, St. Cloud, Clermont, Minneola, Winter Garden, and all other active development areas in Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Lake Counties.

    System size depends on your home’s square footage, number of occupants, and whether you’re adding an EV charger or battery. New construction homes in Central Florida typically need between 8–14 kW to achieve meaningful offset. Our Solar Wizard calculator at castawaysenergy.com gives you a preliminary estimate based on your utility bill.

    Yes, especially in Central Florida. New construction buyers who add battery storage from the start avoid the cost of retrofitting later — and enjoy hurricane season preparedness, peak rate management, and full energy independence from day one.

    Some builders offer solar as an upgrade package. Castaways Energy can review builder-provided proposals and often provide a comparable or superior system at a lower cost with better equipment and local service. Always get an independent quote before committing to a builder-bundled solar option.

    Studies consistently show solar-equipped homes sell faster and at higher prices than comparable non-solar homes. Florida’s property tax exemption ensures the added value doesn’t come with a higher annual tax bill — making solar one of the cleanest equity plays available to new construction buyers.
