Hundreds of thousands of FPL customers lost power for days. Battery-backed solar keeps your family powered when the grid goes down — no fuel, no noise, no generator maintenance.

Mirasol Solar installs Tesla Powerwall and FranklinWH whole-home battery storage systems — standalone or paired with new solar installations — for Sarasota County homeowners. Battery systems keep essential loads running during FPL outages: air conditioning, refrigerator, medical devices, lighting, phone charging, and security systems. We handle all Sarasota County permitting and FPL interconnection for every battery installation.

Storm-Ready Solar Incentives in Sarasota County

Battery storage systems paired with solar qualify for the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit. Standalone battery storage systems also qualify when certain conditions are met. FPL net metering credits your solar surplus at retail rate. Florida’s property tax exemption protects you from reassessment. Mirasol Solar confirms your specific incentive eligibility at your free consultation.

Financing Your Storm-Ready Solar System in Sarasota

We offer $0-down solar loans, battery-inclusive payment plans, and cash purchase for storm-ready solar and battery systems. Many Sarasota homeowners find that a battery-inclusive solar loan payment is comparable to or lower than their previous FPL bill — giving them both storm protection and monthly savings.

How does battery-backed solar protect my home during FPL outages?

When FPL power goes out, your battery system automatically disconnects from the grid and begins powering your home from stored solar energy. The transition typically takes milliseconds — your lights don't even flicker. Essential loads keep running without any action required from you.

How long will a Tesla Powerwall last during a Sarasota FPL outage?

A single Powerwall (13.5 kWh usable) can power essential home loads — refrigerator, lights, phone charging, internet router — for 12–24 hours depending on consumption. Multiple Powerwalls or FranklinWH systems can extend backup significantly. During daytime hours, your solar panels recharge the battery for continued operation.

What is FranklinWH and how does it differ from Tesla Powerwall?

FranklinWH is a whole-home energy management system that integrates solar, battery, grid, and even generator power sources into a unified intelligent system. It provides whole-home backup capacity and is particularly suited for larger homes with higher energy consumption or those wanting to power HVAC systems during outages.

Does battery storage qualify for the federal tax credit in Sarasota?

Yes. Battery storage paired with solar qualifies for the 30% federal ITC. Standalone battery storage also qualifies when charged primarily from solar energy. Your Mirasol consultant will confirm your specific eligibility.

Is solar pool heating relevant for hurricane preparedness?

Solar pool heating is not a hurricane backup tool, but Mirasol's solar installations are engineered to withstand hurricane conditions. Our mounting systems are designed and permitted to Florida wind load requirements.

Can Mirasol Solar retrofit battery storage to my existing solar system?

Yes. We install Tesla Powerwall and FranklinWH battery systems alongside existing solar installations from any manufacturer. We assess compatibility and provide an honest recommendation.

How quickly can Mirasol install a battery system before hurricane season?

Call (941) 484-2447 as early as possible. Installation timelines vary by permitting and equipment availability. We recommend planning battery installations well in advance of hurricane season — don't wait for the first storm watch.
