Sunlink Solar Energy was created in 2014 by Charlie Squires and his wife, Karen Squires. Charlie began installing solar hot water systems in Miami Florida in 1982. Eventually relocating to Gainesville Florida in 1989, where he began installing solar systems for a local solar company, who was Florida's first licensed solar contractor.
Charlie obtained his state of Florida Contractors license in 2010- CVC 56812. After investing over 25 years, beginning as an installer and eventually becoming the President of ECS Solar Energy Systems, in 2014 the company had a change of ownership and it became time to move on. Karen has been in the construction industry for over 30 years, and has absorbed a vast amount of knowledge regarding solar technology.

During the past few years homeowners and businesses alike have been impacted by ever increasing energy cost due to the depletion of conventional fossil fuels, which is attributed to our rising population as well as the significant advancement of third world countries.
Recent studies of greenhouse gas emissions and global warming concerns - have made us increasingly aware of the need to switch from conventional fuels - such as oil and coal - to renewable energy sources such as sunlight (SOLAR), wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat.Solar energy, unlike fossil fuels is an infinite source of clean, reliable power.

In North Central Florida a heated pool is a neccessity, not a luxury! Imagine investing in a home without air conditioning, or for that matter an automobile costing over $35,000. For most of the year you would not be pleased, The same holds true for a swimming pool. If you have a pool without a source of heat, you owe it to yourself and your family to explore solar pool heating.
If you are currently heating your water with electricity or Propane, Solar Hot Water Heating is a wise investment. When you are heating water with Solar power you are harnessing the power of the sun! Taking the heat that we feel from the suns rays and transferring that energy directly into your solar storage tank.
Solar electric systems (PV) are an excellent way to use the power of the sun to work for you by ceating electricity for use in your home or business. It is an environmentally friendly investment and will save money on your power bill as well as increasing your property value, without an inrease in poperty value as most home improvements do.

We have dealt with Charlie Squires for several years. Our very old system , installed by a different company, leaked into our bedroom (see before pic , below) and was replaced with a new, more efficient system (after). The service was outstanding and the price was reasonable. He is professional, reliable and always on time. We recommend him without reservation

We had issues with our old solar water system. Charlie was very prompt, fair, and professional. We had a slight problem with pressure but he came back very quickly and corrected it. You learn about people after you have paid them, many don't know you or give your issues low priority. He has a ton of experience working for one of the major solar companies and there are not many who work on solar water in the area.

So, we got a letter from the insurance company that we’d lose coverage by Sept. if the roof wasn’t replaced. We started to call around & panic ensued. None of the roofers were going to be able to remove & replace our solar set up! The company that had originally set us up had closed! (That the roofers were all booked till the end of the year was another heart attack waiting to happen)
Finally, we caught a break - the original salesman for the panels found out that Charlie had his own company now (and he highly recommended him, as did their old boss). Their site said I could connect with them
