I am having a hard time finding any credible information about the Tampa branch. Since there are many bad stories about companies installing solar panels, I would like to ask your thoughts and experiences.
Thank you,

Be very careful about putting on solar panels and who you deal with should you decide to spend a the money.
Some things to consider:
Payback time vs your age? If you are older it is not worth it.
Do you have a new roof? The cost of replacing your shingles once solar panels are up there is extensive maybe even double.
Are you going to have batteries that will power your house if needed? If not find out what the power company is giving back to you for the extra power. It is not 100% and has gone down over the years.
In my opinion it is a bad idea financially. Just do the math.
