3 Guys Solar

What 3 Guys Solar does

3 Guys Solar, LLC is a privately held solar energy installation contractor headquartered in Orlando, Florida, serving residential and commercial customers across Central Florida including Apopka, Kissimmee, Melbourne, and Brevard County. The company designs, engineers, permits, and installs photovoltaic (PV) systems using high-efficiency solar panels paired with smart inverters, and bundles energy storage via Tesla Powerwall (including Powerwall 3) and Enphase Encharge batteries, plus EV charging stations and Sense-based energy monitoring. All installation work is performed by in-house, certified, state-licensed technicians under Florida electrical (CAC057439) and solar (CVC057639) contractor licenses; the firm is a Premier Certified Tesla Powerwall installer and an approved contractor for Duke Energy Florida programs.

The company operates a direct sales motion spanning residential field sales (free home energy audit, on-site assessment, system design, and installation) and enterprise field sales for commercial projects that leverage federal tax credits and MACRS accelerated depreciation. Revenue is generated primarily from one-time hardware and installation fees for PV systems and battery storage, complemented by professional services revenue from maintenance, cleaning, removal/reinstallation, and EV charging installations, plus recurring revenue from solar leasing and lease-to-own agreements. Marketing is multi-channel, including content marketing, organic social (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube), a referral program, and BBB A+ trust signals, with a stated track record of 1,000+ completed projects over 10+ years and a 25-year service warranty backing installations.

The business is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds; co-owner Claudio Brito is the named member of the management team. The firm is constrained geographically to Florida and competes on quality, certification status, and warranty rather than on proprietary technology or scale economics.
