⭐ Fused Solar & Roofing Reviews and Reputation

Florida's Trusted Solar & Roofing Partner

In business since 2007, with a physical office at 14034 N Florida Ave, Tampa, FL 33613, Fused Solar & Roofing is Tampa Bay's only contractor holding roofing, electrical, and building contractor licenses together under one company. That's not a marketing claim — it's a licensing fact you can verify yourself at myfloridalicense.com. It's also why we're able to serve three different kinds of customers equally well: homeowners who want solar only, homeowners who want roofing only, and homeowners who want both done as one bundled project.

🏆 Verified Credentials — Not Just Claims

Every credential below is independently checkable — that's the point. We'd rather you verify us than take our word for it.

Triple-licensed, single contractor — Florida Roofing License CCC1331058, Electrical License EC13014750, Building Contractor License CBC1252064. We are Tampa Bay's only solar and roofing company holding all three. Verify any Florida license at myfloridalicense.com.

GAF Master Elite Certified — held by roughly the top 2% of roofing contractors nationwide, GAF's highest certification tier, requiring proven experience, licensing, insurance, and a track record of customer satisfaction.

EnergySage Elite Installer — 5.0/5 rating, 21+ verified reviews. Elite status is earned through verified customer outcomes, not purchased. Verify at energysage.com.

Google Reviews — 4.8/5 rating (51 reviews) from verified customers. BBB — A+ rating.

$3M liability coverage — full insurance backing on every project, residential and commercial.

Manufacturer certifications — Tesla Certified Installer, Enphase, Generac, SolarEdge, Franklin Whole Home, REC, Solaria, and Sunny Boy, in addition to GAF Master Elite. Full certification stack across every major panel, inverter, battery, and roofing brand we work with.

Dedicated orphaned-system service truck — if your original installer is no longer available, we service and maintain systems regardless of who installed them.

☀️ Solar Installation, Standalone

Most solar-only installers in Tampa Bay don't hold a roofing license — which means when they drill through your shingles to mount panels, your roof warranty is at risk and nobody's accountable for the penetration. Fused is different: our Florida Roofing License (CCC1331058) covers every solar mount we install, even on solar-only projects, backed by a written 25-year no-leak penetration guarantee. Combined with EnergySage Elite Installer status and certifications across Tesla, Enphase, Generac, SolarEdge, Franklin, REC, Solaria, and Sunny Boy, that's protection most solar-only companies structurally cannot offer.

🏠 Roofing, Standalone

You don't need solar to work with us — Fused is a full roofing contractor in our own right, GAF Master Elite Certified, a distinction held by roughly the top 2% of roofing contractors nationwide. That certification requires proven licensing, insurance, and verified customer satisfaction, renewed annually, not a one-time badge. Combined with our Building Contractor License (CBC1252064) and 19 years in business in Tampa Bay, that's the same rigor whether or not solar is part of the job. See our New Roof Installation page for full details. Want the full vetting guide?

⚡ Solar + Roof, Bundled

This is where the triple-license structure matters most. Because Fused holds roofing, electrical, and building contractor licenses in-house, a bundled solar-and-roof project runs on one contract, one permit, one timeline, and one warranty — not two companies coordinating (or blaming each other) around a shared roofline. GAF Master Elite Certified for the roofing side, EnergySage Elite Installer for the solar side, one accountable team for both. See our Solar and Roof Bundle page for full details.

🔍 Already Have Your Own Roofer?

If you already have a roofer and only need your solar panels detached and reinstalled around their work, our Electrical License (EC13014750) means we handle that scope entirely on our own — no need to switch roofers to get expert D&R service.
