About Blue Energy Electric: South Florida's Owner-Operated Solar Company

Family-run since 2012. Licensed in Florida for solar, electrical, and roofing. Backed by a 30-year SolarInsure SI-30 warranty

​Our Story

Mike Kerr Owner Blue Energy Electric solar campany

Blue Energy Electric started in 2012 with a simple belief: every homeowner should be able to choose where their power comes from. Co-founders David Scherich and Michael Kerr built the company in Stuart, Florida to give Treasure Coast neighbors a local alternative to national solar chains and high-pressure sales teams.

​

Fourteen years later, we are still owner-operated. David and Michael are on job sites, on the phone, and in customer homes. We have installed more than 7 million watts of solar across Martin, St. Lucie, Palm Beach, and Indian River counties. We have never outsourced an installation.

​

In April 2026, we added a Florida Certified Roofing Contractor license to our credentials so we can handle solar-ready roof replacements, panel removal and reinstallation, and integrated solar plus roofing projects in-house. One company. One crew. One warranty conversation.

Why Owner-Operated Matters

When you call Blue Energy Electric, an owner answers questions about your project. When something needs attention five years from now, the same owners are still here.

​

We are not a private equity rollup. We are not a franchise. We are not a lead-generation brand reselling work to subcontractors.

​

Our 30-year SolarInsure SI-30 warranty covers parts and labor with a $0 deductible and is fully transferable to the next homeowner. The policy is underwritten by an A.M. Best A+ rated carrier, so your coverage stands even if our company someday does not.

Hurricane-Rated by Design

Every system we install is engineered for Florida's storm season:

​

  • IronRidge mounting hardware engineered to ASCE 7-16 standards

  • S-5! clamps for standing-seam metal roofs (zero roof penetrations)

  • Wind ratings to 160+ mph

  • Q CELLS, REC, and Aptos solar panels rated for 5,400 Pa wind load with salt mist resistance

  • Tesla Powerwall 3 and FranklinWH batteries rated IP67 for outdoor installation

 

Roof and solar are now designed together by the same team, so wind-load math, flashing, and mounting all line up the first time.
