Solar installation, service and roofing in Palm Harbor, East Lake and Tarpon Springs.
North Pinellas is a mix of 1980s and 1990s neighborhoods in Palm Harbor and East Lake, waterfront in Ozona, Crystal Beach and Tarpon Springs, and large HOA communities like Lansbrook and Innisbrook. Fused installs solar and batteries, services every brand, replaces roofs, and does the detach and reinstall when a roof is replaced, with the permits going to the right office the first time.

Where in and around Palm Harbor we work
Who issues the permit, and who pulls it
Palm Harbor, East Lake, Ozona and Crystal Beach are unincorporated, so Pinellas County Building and Development Review Services (440 Court St, Clearwater) issues the permits through the Access Portal. The county has a dedicated Solar / Photovoltaic permit type with a 14-day target for first residential review, a separate residential roof permit with a re-roofing affidavit, and a final inspection code specific to solar. Tarpon Springs, Dunedin and Oldsmar (Oldsmar through the county) are handled separately. We pull both permits.
Duke Energy Florida serves all of Pinellas. Systems of 10 kW AC and under use Duke's Tier 1 interconnection with no application fee; the net meter is set after the local inspection passes. We file and track it.
What is specific to Palm Harbor
| HOAs | Lansbrook, Innisbrook, Highland Lakes and most of East Lake have architectural review. Florida Statute 163.04 means they can't prohibit solar or push it to a spot that loses more than 10 percent of production, but the application is required. We prepare it. |
|---|---|
| Waterfront and flood zones | Ozona, Crystal Beach and the Tarpon Springs bayou are flood-zone parcels where a roof plus solar can trigger the FEMA substantial-improvement rule. We check before quoting. |
| 1980s and 1990s roofs | A lot of Palm Harbor is on its second roof now. If solar went on the first replacement, this is the detach and reinstall job; if not, it's a roof built solar-ready with attachments and conduit placed now. |
| Duke Energy | North Pinellas is Duke territory. Tier 1 interconnection, no application fee. |

In Florida, solar work needs an electrical or solar license and roof work needs a roofing license. Almost nobody holds both. Fused does, so when we replace a roof and reinstall the panels in Palm Harbor, the roofing warranty and the 25-year no-leak guarantee on the attachments come from the same company.

Palm Harbor solar and roofing, answered plainly
Who issues solar permits in Palm Harbor?
Pinellas County Building and Development Review Services, under its dedicated Solar / Photovoltaic permit type. Fused pulls it under electrical license EC13014750 and schedules the county's solar final inspection.
Can my Lansbrook or East Lake HOA block solar?
No. Florida Statute 163.04 prohibits HOAs from banning solar and limits placement rules to a 10 percent production loss. They can require an architectural application, which we prepare.
Can you replace my roof and reinstall the solar in Palm Harbor?
Yes. Fused holds roofing license CCC1331058 and electrical license EC13014750, so the roof and the detach and reinstall are one contract with both county permits pulled by us. Every reinstall gets new flashed attachments and a 25-year no-leak guarantee.
Do you work in Tarpon Springs and Dunedin?
Yes. Each has its own building department and Fused pulls permits with both. Same crews, same licenses.
