One power company for almost the whole peninsula
Pinellas is a peninsula, built out from the beach towns on the Gulf to the neighborhoods along Tampa Bay, and nearly all of it runs on Duke Energy Florida. Duke serves about 98% of the county's electric accounts. Tampa Electric covers a small area in the north around Oldsmar.
On either one, Florida's net metering rule applies to solar. Extra power your panels send to the grid is credited on the next month's bill, and credits carry forward for up to 12 months.

Battery backup and solar in St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Largo
We also work in the rest of Pinellas County.
A battery for outages, solar to keep it charged
A whole-home battery takes over the moment the grid drops, so the fridge and the lights keep going while Duke gets the power back. If you want the AC covered too, we size the system for it.
Solar panels let the battery refill every sunny day instead of waiting on the grid.
Pinellas County battery and solar questions
Do you work in all of Pinellas County?
Yes. We work across the county, from St. Petersburg and the beach towns up through Largo, Clearwater, Dunedin and Palm Harbor to Tarpon Springs.
Which power company serves my home in Pinellas?
Most likely Duke Energy Florida, which serves about 98% of the county's electric accounts. Tampa Electric serves a small area in the north, including Oldsmar.
Do solar panels keep my power on when Duke's goes out?
Not by themselves. Grid-tied panels shut off when the grid goes down so they don't feed power onto lines crews are working on. With a battery in the system, the house runs on stored power and the panels recharge it during the day.
