Frequently Asked Questions

How much do solar panels cost in Florida?▾
A typical Florida residential solar system (6–10 kW) costs $15,000–$28,000 before incentives, or $10,500–$19,600 after the 30% federal tax credit. Larger 12–15 kW systems with battery backup run $35,000–$60,000+. Price per watt in Florida averages $2.40–$3.20 in 2026.
How long does it take to install solar panels in Florida?▾
The installation itself takes 1–3 days. The full timeline from contract to power-on typically runs 6–12 weeks including design, HOA approval, utility interconnection application, permit pulling, inspection, and utility commissioning.
Can I still net-meter in Florida in 2026?▾
Yes. Despite legislative attempts to roll it back, Florida net metering remains at a 1:1 credit ratio with investor-owned utilities (FPL, Duke, TECO) for systems installed before grandfathering deadlines. Municipal and cooperative utilities vary — confirm with your installer before signing.
Is battery backup worth it in Florida?▾
For hurricane-prone homes, yes. A battery backup system ($10,000–$18,000 add-on) keeps your refrigerator, AC, and essential circuits running for 1-3 days during outages. Without batteries, grid-tied solar shuts off during outages for utility-worker safety — so you'd still be without power.
Do solar panels hold up to Florida hurricanes?▾
Modern panels are rated for 140+ mph winds, and Florida requires them to be installed to code with 150-mph-rated racking in coastal counties. Properly installed systems have survived Hurricane Ian and Milton with minimal damage. Check your installer's wind-zone certification and warranty coverage for storm damage.
