1980
The Dream
Seeing the untapped potential of solar power in the late 70s, Wayne chose not to follow his father’s footsteps or advice to become an accountant and instead pursued a Bachelor of Science in Renewable Energy Engineering Technology at Jordan College Energy Institute in Grand Rapids Michigan. |
The Beginning
In 1984 Wayne installed the first of over 60,000 Solar Source systems, and more than 1 million watertight roof anchors guaranteed by Solar Source, as he and a friend began installing solar hot water heaters, taking the first steps toward the birth of Solar Source.
The Beginning
Solar Pool Heating
Between 1988 and 2000, Solar Source was recognized by Heliocol as the Solar Pool Heating installer with the highest percent of growth nationally, and #1 solar pool heating dealer in the country from 2000-2006, with notable solar installations including the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Swimming Facility, and the FL Governor's mansion!

Commercial Solar
Solar Source partnered with Orlando Utility Commission to install solar electric systems on five Orlando Public Schools in 1999 launching the Solar Source Commercial Electric Division. Included among the hundreds of commercial solar installations are the Orange County Convention Center, Tampa Airport, Legoland, and NASA. |
2000's
Supporting The Industry
2007 Wayne saw the many contractors whose interest in solar outpaced their knowledge, so Solar Source Institute was established, training hundreds of future solar installers. The quality of material and training provided, establishedSSI as the first Dept. of Education Licensed and Accredited solar training facility in the South East. SSI has provided course material taught in over a dozen colleges and schools in FL, and Wayne was a content contributor in the writing of the FL Solar Contractor’s Licensing Exam. Every solar company in FL has either been trained by Solar Source or completed the license exam co-authored by Solar Source. |
Supporting The Industry
Growth
In 2018 Solar Source acquired Superior Solar in Altamonte Springs, FL. This immediately doubled our company size in employees and customers we service and install annually.

2020 Expansion
Solar Source has continued to expand by opening two sister companies, SunSmart Roofing and SunSmart Engineering. Operating these businesses from the same building allows a truly seamless experience for our customers as we engineer their projects or if they require a new roof prior to solar installation.
Today
You will still find Wayne in the office almost every day with his son Beau (one of our many dedicated seasoned technicians) who continues his father’s legacy keeping the passion for renewable energy alive for nearly 50 years!

Since 1984, the Solar Source brand has been trusted by over 60,000 clients and remains the premier solar energy systems provider in the southeastern United States. Based in Central Florida since its inception, the company is known for the expertise of its team members and the uncompromising quality of the systems they design and install.
All of our components are top-quality systems designed for the tough weather conditions in Florida and the Caribbean. Solar Source is recommended by roofers because, unlike our competitors, we install with trusses, eliminating leaks for life.
Protecting our team and your home is our top priority. Our installers are trained on necessary safety procedures and every truck is equipped with the appropriate safety gear.
We hire highly-trained and skilled in-house technicians and run them through at least six months of intensive training before they qualify to test for advanced positions.
We are covered with a $5 million insurance policy to protect your investment and our team. This coverage is 5 times more than most competitors.
We offer 24/7 customer support to handle any customer concerns or emergencies.
With a limited lifetime guarantee, our solar panels will provide you with years of hassle-free energy savings.
What a wonderful company to work with. Every step from purchase to completion was a breeze. They know their business and they guide you through all of the steps. The gentlemen doing the installation explained the steps as they did the installation! And the paperwork and contact to the electric company made going solar a double joy!
Chose Solar Source based on a friends recommendation. I was not disappointed. They were friendly, easy to work with, on time, clean workspace, and the system is working well. Our pool is up 15 degrees in the first two weeks even during this cold February for Florida. I definitely recommend them.
Great price and first class installation. Even the building inspectors were impressed. All of their team, from sales to installers were very very professional and a pleasure to work with. 3 months now and zero issues. Love my solar system!!
Solar Source did a good job of installing panels on our roof. The workers were nice and seemed quite knowledgeable. The job was completed in February of 2021 and we've gotten our first monthly Duke Energy bill since then--$13.82. Can't wait to see if this low cost holds up throughout the year.
