Mirasol Fafco Solar
About us
Mirasol Solar carries on the tradition of providing energy efficient products for the home. With business was originally started by George W. Egglefield in 1959 with the creation of Southern Insulation Co. For over 35 years Southern Insulation provided energy saving alternatives for Sarasota, Charlotte, and Manatee counties. In 1977 Southern Insulation created a Solar Water Heating division, which soon after became known as Mirasol. Scott Egglefield was among the first in the state of Florida to receive the Residential Solar Contractor license in 1980 shortly followed by a state certified plumbing contractor license which enabled Mirasol to be licences to install water heaters, swimming pool heat pumps, and gas heaters. In 1987 Mirasol was approached by FAFCO, the leading manufacturer of solar pool heating panels, and became their exclusive distributor for a five county area. In 2006, Mirasol obtained the state solar contractor license which enabled them to begin installing Photovoltaic (solar electric) systems. Today, Mirasol Solar has over 10,000 solar product customers, and spans three generations of Egglefield’s with Damon Egglefield as the latest addition. Mirasol Solar, among our popular solar energy products also now offers additional products and swimming pool accessories to make life easier, such as pool and spa automation, natural purifiers for pools, solar water heaters, pool cleaners, heat pump pool heaters and gas pool heaters.

"Hello! thank you for making the change to Mirasol Solar! We’re happy to know that you had a great experience with our team!"
I asked them to provide me with a quote to do so. They did not return repeated requests to schedule an inspection preparatory to giving me a quote.
I've changed vendors.

They were able to get us 12 month interest free financing.
The new system works great and we really like having the pool warm enough to
use in the winter. Also the Variable speed pump runs at very low power
when we are away for the summer months and saves on our electric bill.
They did just what we wanted.
We had an equipment failure. A diverting valve motor failed after
about 10 months. The president came by and within 2 days they had been
here and replaced the motor........and no charge.
We recommend them.

We were concerned about the solar panels overheating in the summer, when not in use, , and the salesman reassured us they would drain when not in use. They were installed without the drain down feature, but the installer told us there would be no damage done by leaving water in them all summer. I am finishing this review a year after installation. We found we like our water quite warm so we used the solar system most of the summer. One point it took us a long time to figure out is that the Solar Touch Control (turns solar on and off automatically as required by thermostat setting) over rides the Intelliflow pump timer. Our sensor is not located right next to the panels, so at times the sun hits it and not the panels, causing the pump to come on then shut off because the water temperature sensor realizes the water in the panels in not hot enough to be used.
I perform most of my correspondence via email and have found the salesman and company to be non responsive.

We purchased solar PV from Mirasol, contingent on obtaining FPL rebate. They assisted in the application. The entire transaction was transparent: everything Mirasol promised was delivered in a timely fashion. I waited to write this review until we received our first fully solar power bill of zero. Damon conducted the installation and followed through with support afterward. This was one of the most pleasant home vendor experiences we have had.
