Solar on an RV is one of those upgrades that sounds simple until you're on a ladder in the Florida sun. Fort Myers has two shops that do this work, and they're not all the same. One is a big dealership with a parts counter; the other handles mobile calls and warranty paperwork. Here's what you need to know before you book.

Two shops in town list solar installation, with an average rating of 4.1. Blue Compass RV Fort Myers is the larger operation, with 677 reviews and a 4.3 rating, and it also handles A/C, awnings, slide-outs, tires, electrical, generators and leveling. RVTECH & Marine Service Center has 72 reviews at 3.9 and adds mobile service, roof, body and windshield work to the mix. Both do solar, but the bigger shop may have a longer wait for an appointment. If you want mobile work, RVTECH is the one that lists it. Ask whether they'll come to your storage lot or campsite, and what the trip charge is before you commit.
Solar installs usually mean running wires and mounting panels, so a shop with a bay is often easier. But a mobile tech can be handy if your rig is already set up at a campground and you don't want to break camp. RVTECH lists mobile service, so ask if they'll do the whole job on site. Keep in mind that a mobile call may cost more for the convenience, and the tech may need to order parts ahead of time. If you're staying put for a while, mobile can save you a trip. If you're just passing through, the shop might be faster.
Ask if the shop has done your type of system before, especially if you have lithium batteries or a residential fridge. Get a written estimate that separates parts and labor. Ask whether they stock the panels and controller you want or if they'll need to order them, because that can add days. If you're still under warranty, ask if they'll handle pre-approval with the manufacturer. RVTECH lists warranty work, so that's a point in their favor. Also ask if they'll check your roof sealant while they're up there; a leak around a panel mount is a headache you don't want.
There are two shops in Fort Myers that list solar installation. One is Blue Compass RV Fort Myers and the other is RVTECH & Marine Service Center. There's also one nearby option if you're willing to drive a little.
