I have never been contacted by them, but be very careful, there have been reports of companies "selling" solar panels at zero cost, the problem was they essentially had a lien on your house, xx years. You did not own the panels, you could not remove the panels, and if you sold your house the new owners had to take on the lease.
IMHO, ask for a copy of the exact contract you would be signing, then go to a lawyer and a financial advisor and have both of them carefully look over the contract, then and only then if it is OK, be sure that you sign the copy they gave you, just in case a future copy and some additional "fine print".
There have been several very good discussions on this site about solar panels in Florida, and the general consensus was it does not make any financial sense to do this. Basically, do your own due diligence in this matter and proceed with caution.
