Solar FAQs for Lake Forest Residents

Can I add an EV charger when I go solar in Lake Forest?

Yes. Castaways Energy installs Qmerit-certified Level 2 EV charging stations alongside solar installations or as a standalone upgrade. Pairing EV charging with solar means you’re powering your vehicle with energy your roof generates — reducing both your electricity bill and fuel costs.

What is a SPAN smart panel and is it available in Lake Forest?

A SPAN smart panel replaces your standard breaker box with an intelligent energy management system that gives you real-time circuit-level control and visibility. Paired with solar and battery storage, SPAN lets Lake Forest homeowners prioritize loads during outages and optimize energy use throughout the day. Castaways Energy is a certified SPAN installer.

How does net metering work for Lake Forest solar customers?

Under Florida’s net metering policy, your utility credits you at the retail rate for any surplus solar electricity your system sends to the grid. When your panels produce more than you use — typically on sunny days — those credits offset the electricity you draw at night or during low-production periods.

Is solar a good investment for new construction homes in Lake Forest?

Absolutely. Adding solar during construction or shortly after move-in is one of the most cost-effective times to install. Lake Forest new construction communities often have favorable roof designs and minimal shading, maximizing solar production. Castaways Energy works with homeowners in new developments throughout the area.

Does Castaways Energy service existing solar systems in Lake Forest?

Yes. Castaways Energy provides monitoring, maintenance, and diagnostic services for existing solar systems in Lake Forest — including systems installed by other companies. If your system is underperforming or your original installer is no longer available, our team can assess and resolve the issue.

Is solar worth it in Lake Forest, FL?

Yes. Lake Forest sits in Central Florida’s solar-rich corridor, averaging 230+ sunny days per year. Combined with rising utility rates and Florida’s net metering policy, solar systems consistently deliver strong ROI for Lake Forest homeowners. Castaways Energy provides a free, property-specific savings estimate at your consultation.

Which utility serves Lake Forest?

Most Lake Forest properties are served by Duke Energy Florida. Net metering and incentive programs are available through Duke Energy, and Castaways Energy handles all utility interconnection paperwork as part of every installation.
