Have had Solar Source panels heating my pools for over 15 years. Had my first leak a couple weeks ago. It was a quick fix. Very happy with their product and service.

Customer Reviews
David W
Had the privilege of working w/ Dave Boswell, aka "Solar Dave" - he was great at responding through the process and walking step-by-step and clarifying and even shopping different options for best price and really just providing good customer service start to finish and working with me on my goals and needs and not pushing his agenda. We had two meetings that went long because of my questions and after understanding my options, we went with the plan that worked for me. He didn't oversell any nonsense, just informed me to make best decision for my family. Panels are overdelivering on KW so far. Was going to break even around years 9-10, but now closer to year 7-8. Highly recommend the company and Solar Dave Boswell.
Ryan Bartkus
Our pool solar heating system, originally installed in 2006, finally developed a leak. I contacted our trusted pool equipment technician for a recommendation, and he suggested I reach out to David Spanier at Solar Source.
David responded quickly, asked questions, and requested a few details about the system. After reviewing the information, he let me know he would do his best to help and he absolutely did. Rather than passing me off to an office or scheduling runaround, David personally came to my home and repaired the leaks himself.
Based on this experience, I would highly recommend David and Solar Source Orlando to anyone looking to install or service a solar pool heating system.
