Florida Licensed Solar Contractor
Fafco Solar is a fully licensed solar contractor. A licensed solar contractor specializes in solar energy systems. These days, many other companies are entering the market with little experience. We have the experience necessary to design your system, install equipment on your roof properly, and interconnect your system to the utility grid for safe and efficient operation.
Spin Your Meter Backward
The most popular solar energy system is a grid-tied, or utility-interactive system. These systems produce A/C power using solar panels and inverters that can be connected to your home's existing electrical system. Solar energy will power devices in your home, and if excess energy is produced, your electric meter will spin backward. This is also called net-metering, which means you only pay for energy from your utility company in excess of what you produce. This all happens seamlessly.
Revolutionizing Solar Energy Systems
Enphase Microinverters
Fafco Solar is and experienced premier dealer for the revolutionary Enphase Microinverter system. Microinverters replace the large central inverter found in traditional solar electric systems. Microinverters maximize energy harvest and provide monitoring on a per-module basis, something never before possible.
SunPower Authorized Dealer
Fafco Solar is an authorized SunPower Solar Electric System Dealer. SunPower provides industry leading solar panel efficiency, reliability, and warranty. The new X-Series solar modules feature over 21% efficiency, breaking the previous record held by none other than SunPower themselves!
Government Incentives
Did you know that the federal government provides financial incentives for installing solar energy systems?
Government Tax Credits, Rebates, and Grants make these systems affordable for any budget. The added benefit of these programs is that consumers are taking advantage of them and solar photovoltaic prices are coming down.
Now is the time to let our government help begin your energy independence.

Why Use A Solar Powered Attic Fan?
A Sunrise Solar attic fan is powered solely with free energy from the sun. They're designed to reduce the temperature of your attic. This allows:
- Less Stress On Your Cooling System
- Conservation of Power
- Saves you money.
Sunrise Solar, like Fafco Solar, prides itself on improving your quality of life while protecting our environment.
Benefits
With solar powered attic fans you achieve:
-
Lower Attic Temperature Which In Turn Reduces The Load On Your HVAC System
Attic temperatures can exceed 160 F during hot summer days. Proper attic ventilation can reduce those temperatures by 50 F. Attic insulation can actually add to temperature increases because heat is trapped in the insulation.
Proper ventilation evacuates this excess heat build-up. As the heat is exhausted the work of the air conditioning system is reduced. This saves energy and extends the life of the air conditioning system.
A Longer Life For Your Roof
Asphalt shingles are designed to take the abuse of the sun for many years. They're subjected to greater temperatures when the roof decking is allowed to overheat. This is what happens in an under ventilated attic in the warmer months.
In the cooler months, moisture is the most serious concern. Even with use of vapor barriers, there are air leaks around ceiling light fixtures and bathroom exhaust fans. This allows unwanted moisture into the attic.
Moisture condensing on the framing members and the inside of the roof deck can lead to the growth of mold, mildew and rot in the roof deck and framing.
FAFCO Solar Offers Sunrise Solar Powered Attic Fans
Sunrise Solar provides the best fans in the industry for your home. Each fan exceptionally engineered and made in the USA.
The solar attic fan can be placed on any roof, regardless of type, pitch or location. Fans use an integrated photovoltaic module or a remote module depending on roof location and type.
System eliminates need for electrical wiring required by conventional attic fans. Unit needs only be properly located and flashed into the roof. This takes less than an hour.
Solar panel allows the unit to vent your attic cost-free. Ease of installation, durability and its engineered design enables this ventilator to outperform all other solar powered attic ventilators.
Features
Designed To:
Minimize Backpressure Of Exhaust Gases
Maximize The Exposure Of the Sun To The Solar Panel
- Solar panel: The latest state-of-the-art circuitry captures unlight even on overcast days. Totally weatherproof, our panels are designed for optimum efficiency and are hail, and extreme weather resistant.
- Cover & Base: Molded with UV-stabilized ABS plastic to prevent damage from sunlight. The top has a shingled appearance that helps the unit blend in with the roof while also providing additional stability and strength.
- Fan Blade: Specially designed 5-blade, 12" aluminum fan is pitched for maximum air flow. It operates whisper quiet with no harmonic noise.
- Stainless Steel Screen: Keeps animals out while allowing maximum air flow.

How Natural Light Tubular Skylight Works
Fafco Solar is pleased to offer Natural Light Solar Tubular Skylights - the best in the industry for your home.
Before Fafco Solar Light Install 
After Fafaco Solar Light Install
Tubular Skylights are energy efficient high performance lighting systems. They are cylindrical in shape and are designed to light rooms up with natural sunlight. A small clear collector dome on the roof allows sunlight to enter into a highly reflective "light pipe" that extends from the roof level to the ceiling level.
The light pipe is coated with a silver finish mirror quality that allows the full spectrum of sunlight to be channeled. It disperses evenly into a room through the means of a diffuser located in the ceiling.
Tubular Skylights are designed not to compromise roof integrity. The unit minimizes the size of roof penetrations, and is weather-tight, eliminating the chance of leaks.
Benefits
Tubular Skylights provide many advantages over traditional skylights:
Tubular Skylight Installed - Roof View
- Save on your lighting costs - Tubular skylights can significantly reduce electricity used for lighting your home or business.
- Far Less Expensive Than Conventional Skylights
- Emit More Light Per Given Area - Because of the high reflectivity of the mirror-like light pipe. Since they are smaller, they also enable installation in virtually any location.
- More Energy Efficient - The cylindrical design minimizes the area for direct light to enter and heat up the area, the thin light pipe radiates any collected heat into the attic area. In addition, the light pipe acts as a sealed shaft, so that very little heat escapes up the light pipe, whereas a tremendous amount of heat rises up the large shaft of traditional skylights.
- Engineered Diffuser Spreads The Natural Light Throughout Room - Enhances the true colors of the space.
- 99% Harmful UV Rays Are Absorbed - By the tubular skylights special dome, light pipe and diffuser material, thereby eliminating the bleaching effect on rugs and furniture.
- Can Be Installed In Less Than Two Hours - Fraction of the time it takes to install a traditional skylight. No painting, frame work or drywall is required for installation.
Features
Natural Light uses the highest quality materials in the manufacturing process. Entire unit designed around performance, ease of installation and being able to withstand the weathering effects of any environment. The best warranty in the industry, 25 years.
Tubular Skylights by Natural Light offer the following features:
- Adapt To Any Type Of Roof System
- Energy Star Rated
- Fit Any Roof Pitch
- Easy Installation
- Very Attractive Unit Due To Ultra Low Profile
- 25 Year Warranty
- Seamless To Ensure No Leakage
- Easy Snap-On Diffuser
- Exclusive Dome Stress Ring Isolates Environmental Stressing - Ensuring weather tight, long lasting fit.
