About Us

As a homeowner, one of the most important questions you can ask yourself when switching to solar is “How can I find a solar installer that I can trust to do a great job on my home?”

Unfortunately, with so many new solar companies trying to get in on the solar boom, homeowners are needing to interview multiple solar companies before finding one they feel confident about.

As one of Florida’s original solar installation companies, Expert Solar has the experience, the track record, and most importantly the commitment to answer that question.

For over 15 years, long before “the solar boom”, Expert Solar has installed thousands of solar PV systems across Hillsborough and Pinellas County.

Driven by our pledge to build a clean energy future for a pure world, we’ve not only watched the solar industry grow and advance, but we lived it.

Continually improving our knowledge, ability, and involvement, we use the industries leading solar equipment and technology.

Today Expert Solar is proud to be one of Florida’s leading all-in-house solar companies. That means from start to finish you deal with us and only us. Never outsourcing or contracting out our work, we provide you with the confidence you need to build a brighter future through solar.

Our Story

Expert originally launched as an electrical contracting company in 2004, which then in 2020 was taken over by Juan and Fabio, turning it into the Solar entity that it is today. With a small crew and both owners doing the selling, installing, quality control and running the operations in just a small period of time, they have acquired 1 sales office, 1 operations office, and 2 dedicated warehouses.

One of the things that makes Expert Solar so efficient and a top tier solar company is that they manage the installation from start to finish. They have multiple in-house installation teams that communicate directly with managers in order to maintain quality throughout the installation process.

Owners and CEOs Fabio Dikena and Juan Garcia have worked together for over 5 years, and have found many common interests aside from solar. Their friendship goes beyond the business, which was important to the growth and success of Expert Solar.

Juan Garcia, is a Venezuelan born music lover and thrill seeker. Among his expertise in solar he is also a talented bass player, skydiver and currently getting his pilot license. Fabio Dikena, is from Albania, and has been featured in multiple Albanian media outlets. Being an ex professional soccer player he has a love for all sports, anything from Soccer to MMA. A mutual interest they share is the love for luxury supercars cars, owning several rare cars themselves.

Being like family, Juan and Fabio are able to make the big decisions together easily and without any worries or complications. Because they have such a great friendship, trust and chemistry they were able to elevate Expert Solar to be one of the biggest Solar companies in Florida in just a short time.

The starting team behind the CEOs, and anchors to Expert Solar’s success comes from Vilma, Nani, Gretchen, Lili, and Tatiana. Key players and founding members, Vilma who is now the General sales manager and Nani, who is in charge of the installation teams, started from day one. Gretchen and Lili were also there from the start seeing the rise of Expert Solar. They are over operations and have dedicated themselves to make sure Expert continues to flow and operate at an incredible pace. Tatiana, who is the company Director, continues to help with the expansion of external partners and anything that has to do with getting everyone ready to make the next deal.

The future for Expert Solar looks extremely bright. The goal they have is to be the #1 Solar company in the US, and the way things are progressing, it’s a viable goal.

What Sets us Apart?

Expert Solar is one of the only Florida solar companies that exclusively use micro-inverters, that optimize the power generation of each solar panel by empowering each individual panel to directly convert its own energy, instead of a string of inverters where each panel relies on the one before it to produce energy.

At Expert Solar, we are one of the only companies that offer competitive pricing while maintaining leading industry standards. Expert Solar only works with premium quality equipment and tier 1 solar panels.

Thanks to our commitment to quality and our long relationship with solar manufacturers, Expert Solar is able to issue extended warranties on select products, guaranteeing performance for up to 30 years, 5 years above normal warranties.

Expert Solar is one of the few companies that handle every aspect of solar design, engineering, installation and customer care in-house. Whereas many solar companies just do sales, or just do installations, Expert Solar takes care of every aspect of your solar projects to ensure every step of your installation is done right.
