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.

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.

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.
