Solar-Fit

Solar-Fit: residential and commercial solar energy in Central and Northeast Florida

Solar-Fit is a solar energy system installation company based in Holly Hill, Florida, operating since 1975. The company presents itself as a local contractor that designs, engineers and installs solar solutions for homes, businesses, nonprofits and government entities. Its service area covers Volusia, Flagler, St. Johns, Putnam, Clay, Duval and Nassau counties.

The company states it has served more than 26,000 customers in Florida since its founding and has more than 200 five-star Google reviews, with an average rating of 4.6 stars out of 247 reviews. Solar Power World has recognized it as a Top Solar Contractor. Its licenses are CVC56690 and CVC56926.

Home solutions

For homes, Solar-Fit offers solar electric systems with owned panels, designed to reduce the electric bill; battery storage to keep the power on during grid outages; pool heating to extend the swimming season; and solar water heating as a smaller system that pays for itself. The company also offers the option of combining roof and solar, as well as electric vehicle charging.

The company's website includes a battery buyer's guide and a savings estimator tool. The company notes that the federal homeowner credit ended in 2025, but that four Florida incentives still apply.

Commercial and institutional projects

In the commercial segment, Solar-Fit serves dealerships, warehouses, storage facilities and offices. The company describes itself as the only local company that designs, engineers and installs commercial solar end to end. Its clients include nonprofits and government entities, such as churches, schools and cities.

The website mentions projects at fire stations, a recreation center, a university and a Maserati dealership. The commercial work section cites installations at Maserati (Daytona), Stetson (DeLand), YMCA (Holly Hill) and a Jeep dealership (Daytona).

The company highlights a project in Palm Coast, where it installed solar panels on two new fire stations, 22 and 26. Each station has approximately 180 kW of direct current capacity, with projected generation of more than 250,000 kWh per year per station and estimated savings of between $22,000 and $25,000 per station per year. The installation was completed in about six weeks per building.

Incentives and federal tax credit

Solar-Fit provides information about the 30% federal tax credit (Investment Tax Credit) for businesses, nonprofits and governments, in effect until December 31, 2027. The company notes that projects must be placed in service before that date to claim the credit and that, since commercial solar requires months of design, permitting and construction, the real deadline is the contract, not the installation.

The website mentions that the credit can be combined with one-year bonus depreciation, Florida's 100% sales tax exemption and property tax abatement. For nonprofits and governments, the 30% is paid in cash, with no tax return required.

The company maintains an incentives page with federal, state and utility information, updated for 2026.

Experience and recognition

Founded in 1975, Solar-Fit has more than fifty years of activity. Its founder and CEO, Bill Gallagher, hosts the Renewable Energy Show on WNZF 94.9 FM on Saturdays at 10:30. The company states that the owner personally responds to reviews and that customers can speak directly with the people who perform the installations.

The website includes customer testimonials mentioning installations done in 1999 and 2004, as well as repair and maintenance services. The company states it offers a lifetime warranty on some of its systems, as noted in a review.
