Riverview · Hillsborough County

Solar installation, service and roofing in Riverview and South Shore.

Riverview, Apollo Beach, Ruskin and Sun City Center are the fastest-growing part of Hillsborough County, with newer roofs, HOA architectural boards and a lot of Tesla and Enphase solar sold during the boom. Fused installs new solar and batteries, services every brand including Tesla, replaces roofs, and does the detach and reinstall when the two meet.

Permits in Riverview

Who issues the permit, and who pulls it

Riverview and South Shore are unincorporated Hillsborough County, so Development Services (HillsGovHub) issues the permits. Solar is an electrical trade permit with engineer-sealed plans; roof replacement is a separate re-roof permit with an in-progress inspection. Electrical rough-in for PV is scheduled by 11:59 PM for next-day, live or virtual. We pull both permits.

Utility: TECO (Tampa Electric)

TECO serves all of Hillsborough County. Systems of 10 kW AC and under use TECO's Tier 1 interconnection with no application fee; TECO's approval can take up to 30 days after the passed inspection, then it sets the net meter. We file and track it.

Local knowledge

What is specific to Riverview

Newer roofs, same questionMany Riverview roofs are 10 to 15 years old, which is right when hail and wind claims start. If the roof is replaced on an insurance claim, the solar detach and reinstall is a line item we put in writing for the adjuster, and we can meet them on site.
Tesla solarSouth Shore has a lot of Tesla systems. Fused is Tesla certified and services Tesla solar and Powerwall, usually weeks sooner than Tesla's own schedule.
HOAsPanther Trace, Waterset, Southshore and most Apollo Beach communities have architectural review. Florida Statute 163.04 limits what they can require; we prepare the application.
Coastal Apollo BeachCanal-front Apollo Beach parcels are flood-zone. We check before quoting a roof plus solar.
Why one license matters

When the roof leaks under the array, there's one number to call

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 Riverview, the roofing warranty and the 25-year no-leak guarantee on the attachments come from the same company.

Questions from Riverview homeowners

Riverview solar and roofing, answered plainly

Do you service Tesla solar in Riverview and Apollo Beach?

Yes. Fused is Tesla certified and services Tesla solar and Powerwall across South Shore, including panel removal for a new roof, usually weeks sooner than Tesla's own scheduling.

My Riverview roof is being replaced on an insurance claim. Who handles the solar?

Fused does. The detach and reinstall is its own permit and its own line item, which we document for the adjuster. If you want us to do the roof too, it's one contract; if your roofer is doing it, we coordinate with them.

Who issues solar permits in Riverview?

Hillsborough County Development Services, as an electrical trade permit with engineer-sealed plans. Fused pulls it under electrical license EC13014750.

Can my HOA in Waterset or Panther Trace 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.
