Report
Jim was personable, knowledgable, and diligent. He re-installed our solar hot water system, and went above and beyond to resolve some issues and resolve our problem. Whole-heartedly recommend, if you're looking for that rare combination of experience and integrity. Follow-up: January 2022. Had to have some additional work done. Broward Solar (Jim) showed up on time as promised, and was as prompt, pleasant and professional as ever. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I needed a solar hot water heater installed quickly. Someone from my office recommend Broward Solar, and I am very glad he did. Jim showed up when he said he was going to and got the job done quickly at a fair price. I highly recommend them.

They came a little late, work was good, but they unplugged my freezer in the garage to plug in a fan, never plugged it back in. I didn't notice for a few days. Needed to throw out everything. I called to let them know and they said they would get back to me. That was over a week ago. Never got back to me, even to apologize.

My pool solar panels, piping, and thermostat were installed in one day. Jim Coryell, owner, worked nonstop from 7 am to 5 pm and completed the project in one day. Jim did all prep work for me.providing all required information for my HOA and obtained Town permits for me and scheduled town's follow up visit. He uses the best materials with 10/12 year warranties. On the first full day, my pool temperature was raised 8 degrees. Warmer than my pool has ever been since I moved to Jupiter in 2004.
We had a heavenly evening swim that soothed our muscles and brought us so much happiness. I now will be able to heat my pool for 12 months with NO increased electric bills! Thank you Jim. You have brought me such joy! Susan Drinkwater

After serving as a Realtor for over 16 years we found our dream house, but the pool didn't have a heater. We didn't want the monthly expense, so we went solar. We could not be happier with the service, professionalism, and rapid attention we received from Jim and his team at Broward Solar Inc. WE LOVE the new temperature and they were so meticulous, neat, and professional with the installation. I will recommend this team every single time. THANK YOU!
