Florida Residential & Commercial Solar Panel Installation

Why Is Solar Power Such a Good Idea in Florida?

Florida is ranked #3 in the United States for solar power, after California and Texas. Earning its reputation as the Sunshine State, Florida enjoys an average of 237 days of sunshine per year — well above the national average — and even more in certain cities. There is great potential for solar energy production in the state, which means great potential for savings and sustainability. From Tampa in the west to Fort Lauderdale in the south, SunPower by Freedom Solar serves Floridians who want to save on energy costs and take control of their own power supply.

Although the cost of installation and equipment used to be cost-prohibitive for many Florida homeowners and businesses, that has changed in recent years. Florida has experienced a boom in solar installations as costs have fallen 45% over the last five years due to improved technology. Plus, state and federal governments continue to provide incentives to convert to renewable energy sources. There is currently a 26% federal tax credit available for Florida homeowners and businesses who install solar systems or battery backup systems combined with solar panels. In addition, the state of Florida mandates net metering at a one-to-one retail rate for all utilities, ensuring that homeowners capture the full value of the solar energy they produce. Florida Statute 163.04 further protects consumers by preventing homeowners’ associations (HOA) from denying solar approvals or placing restrictions that would increase costs or reduce output.

Florida utility companies are raising prices and making it more difficult for Floridians to justify sticking with traditional power options for their homes and businesses. During the hot and steamy summers, traditional energy customers across the state will be paying more to cool their homes than ever before. The cost of natural gas is soaring because demand is outpacing production. Natural gas is unpredictable, while solar power is the most efficient and dependable energy source. It’s infinite! And the sooner you convert to solar energy, the sooner you can start saving.
