Meet Tim Lakata
I’m Tim Lakata, founder of Solar Advocates, a certified Enphase Installer with a background in energy-sector operations and leadership.
My career has built a disciplined approach to evaluating technical information, questioning assumptions, and making informed decisions. I bring that same attention to detail to helping homeowners understand solar proposals and system performance.
Your questions come first.
Solar can be a smart investment—but understanding the true cost, projected savings, and long-term commitments can be difficult. My goal is to help you cut through the sales pitch, recognize potential red flags, and ask the right questions before signing.
Available remotely in all 50 states, my $199 proposal review includes a one-page written assessment and a 30-minute phone Q&A, focused on one proposal and your supporting utility information.
Support when your installer is gone.
If your New Jersey solar system’s installer has closed or stopped responding, Solar Advocates can help with monitoring, performance concerns, maintenance needs, and equipment warranty questions. We’ll explain your options and help coordinate qualified service professionals when repairs are needed.
Monitoring and maintenance support is scoped and priced around your system and needs, before work begins.
