Why Go Solar in Florida?

Strong Sunshine & Solar Resource

Florida averages roughly 5.5 peak sun hours per day — above the national average of about 4.5. The state's year-round sunshine supports strong production. Treat this as a regional average; actual output depends on your location, roof orientation, and shading.

Property & Sales Tax Exemptions — No State Rebate

Florida exempts residential solar equipment from property tax (100% indefinite) and from sales tax (6%). There is no state solar rebate and no state income tax credit (Florida has no state income tax). The 30% federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired December 31, 2025 and does not apply to systems installed in 2026 or later.

Net Metering — Confirm Current Terms

Florida has historically offered net metering for residential solar. Policies and export credit structures can change, so confirm current interconnection and export credit terms with FPL, Duke Energy Florida, or TECO before sizing your system.
