Power in Lakewood Ranch

A big community with two power companies

Lakewood Ranch covers more than 35,000 acres across Manatee and Sarasota counties, with more than 80,000 residents in over 40 villages, according to the community's own fact sheet. Peace River Electric Cooperative serves parts of it and has been laying new underground cable in east Manatee neighborhoods like River Club and Braden Woods. Most of the rest of Manatee County is on FPL.

If your home is in an HOA, Florida law is on your side. Under Section 163.04 of the Florida Statutes, an HOA can't stop you from putting solar panels on your home. It can choose where on the roof they go, as long as that spot faces south or within 45 degrees of due south and doesn't keep the panels from working well.

What we offer

Battery backup and solar for Lakewood Ranch homes

A home battery mounts on a wall in the garage or outside near the electrical panel and switches the house over on its own when the power drops. With solar panels on the roof, it refills every sunny day, even with the grid still down.
