E-Minded Plan
How the Honest Diagnosis works
Four steps. No pressure. You leave the conversation knowing what to do.
We look at the real numbers
Your bill, your roof, your usage. No averages: your specific home.
We tell you the truth
If solar makes sense, we explain why. If it doesn’t, we tell you that too.
We connect you
With verified installers who don’t disappear, only when there is a match.
We stay with you
Until the system is running and producing what was promised.
An efficient home
A high bill isn’t fixed with panels alone
Three consumption pillars account for 70-80% of a Florida home’s bill. Solar is production: it only pays off if the other three are in order.
01
Air conditioning (HVAC)
The #1 electricity consumer in Florida: 40-50% of a typical bill.
02
Insulation
Without good insulation, everything the A/C cools leaks out. It is the invisible foundation.
03
Water heating
#2 or #3 on the bill. A heat pump water heater cuts 20-30% of that usage.
04
Solar
The production piece. Sized right, it covers the rest of the bill.

Four ways to get solar
Cash, loan, lease or a 3-5 year subscription. Each changes who owns the system, who gets the tax credit and what happens when you sell. We explain them before you sign.
01
Cash
You own it from day 1. Highest long-term savings if you have the capital.
02
Loan
You own it with a payment. Watch for the dealer fee hidden in the price.
03
Lease / PPA
A third party owns it and captures the 2026 tax credit. No upfront; check the escalator.
04
3-5 year subscription
Fixed payment, no credit or debt, savings guaranteed by contract. Central Florida.
Minimum Bill Guarantee
If your system produces less than promised, we pay the difference.
The proposal shows estimated production month by month. Monitoring shows the real one. If any month comes in short, we pay you what you overpaid your utility. For the life of the system.
Applies to solar systems designed by E-Minded. It is a production guarantee, not a guarantee against changes in your usage. Full terms in your proposal.
