Local Solar Company in Seminole Helps Homeowner Slash $240 Monthly Energy Bill
Local Solar Company in Seminole Helps Homeowner Slash $240 Monthly Energy Bill
16.8kW Solar Panel System Installed by Solar Tech Elec – Your Trusted, 5-Star Local Solar Company in Seminole, Pinellas County, and Greater Tampa Bay
Project Overview
When Seminole homeowner Ben Farrow began researching solar energy, he knew he wanted a local solar company he could trust to help his family transition to clean, renewable energy. His goal was clear: eliminate his $240 monthly electricity bill, reduce his reliance on Duke Energy, and take full advantage of the 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit before year-end.
Ben didn’t rush the process. He spent months comparing over 20 different solar providers—local installers, regional companies, and national chains. Some companies offered high-pressure “sign today” deals, while others pushed expensive leasing programs. Ben quickly realized that he wanted to own his solar system outright and work with a full turnkey EPC company that handled everything in-house.
After careful comparison, Ben chose Solar Tech Elec, a 5-star rated, local solar installer serving Seminole, Pinellas County, and the greater Tampa Bay region. Their competitive pricing, personalized approach, and outstanding reputation made the decision easy.
The 16.8kW system, featuring 40 all-black Tier 1 panels and Enphase IQ8+ microinverters, was installed on schedule and designed to offset 150.32% of Ben’s household energy needs. This means the system not only powers his home but also generates surplus energy, which Ben sells back to the grid through Duke Energy’s net metering program, accelerating his return on investment.
The Results
$240/month energy bill eliminated
Offset 150%+ of household energy consumption
$14,661 in Federal Solar Tax Credits received
Gained energy independence and additional net metering credits
ROI achieved in less than one-third of the 25-year system warranty
By partnering with Solar Tech Elec, Ben now enjoys a clean energy future, significant monthly savings, and peace of mind knowing his home will remain energy-resilient for decades.

Ben Farrow’s Experience
“I spoke with 20 companies before deciding. Most were pushy or overpriced. Ross and Solar Tech Elec were different—they listened, were patient, and gave me a fair price. They even made last-minute changes to the panel layout without increasing the cost. Since January, I’ve been producing 1–2.5MWh per month, and my Duke Energy bill is down to just the $35 connection fee. I’m thrilled I chose Solar Tech Elec.”
