Storm season isn’t something we can ignore here in Jacksonville. The weather this time of year can go from calm to chaotic in a matter of hours. Heavy rain, strong winds, and power outages often follow winter storms that hit Northeast Florida. Living in this area means we need to be ready for those surprises. We are a veteran-owned solar contractor founded in Jacksonville and serving homeowners across Northeast Florida who want their homes to be better prepared for that kind of weather.

Florida winters tend to be mild, but cooler temperatures still show up across Jacksonville during the season. Most days are sunny and comfortable, but when those chilly mornings arrive and the air feels damp, it’s nice to have a warm home waiting for you. A common question we hear is how to stay comfortable during the winter without using too much energy or investing in something that only works a few months a year.

Solar power gets a lot of attention here in Florida, and it’s easy to see why. We get plenty of sunshine year-round, making it a good match for homes that want to use cleaner energy. But not every roof is ready for panels, even in a place like Jacksonville. We have installed solar on more than 1,500 homes in the local area, so we have a clear sense of what works well on Jacksonville roofs.

A1A Solar & Air installs home EV charging stations for drivers throughout Northeast Florida, so charging at home can match the way you actually use your vehicle.

Florida winters might not bring snow or freezing temperatures, but cloudy skies can still show up for days at a time.
