Estimates based on your home's satellite and LIDAR roof data, local solar conditions, and your energy use profile.
Six factors weighted by real-world impact on solar production and ROI. The first three are auto-detected from satellite and LiDAR data.
Florida still has full 1-to-1 net metering at its major utilities — a proposed phase-down was vetoed in 2022, and the rules remain in place as of 2026. Four things to know:
Florida's investor-owned utilities — FPL, Duke Energy Florida, and Tampa Electric — credit every kWh you send to the grid at your full retail rate, 1-to-1, under PSC Rule 25-6.065. One of the most favorable setups in the country.
Overproduce in mild months and your surplus rolls forward as bill credits within the calendar year — then heavy summer AC months draw those banked credits down.
At the annual true-up, any credits still unused are paid out at the utility's avoided-cost (wholesale) rate — a fraction of retail, and it varies with fuel prices. Exports are only full-value while you can use them.
Size to your annual usage: overshooting just converts premium credits into wholesale pennies. Staying at or under 10 kW AC (Tier 1) also keeps interconnection streamlined — larger systems require $1M in liability coverage.
Rule 25-6.065 binds Florida's investor-owned utilities. Municipal utilities and co-ops — like JEA, OUC, and SECO — set their own credit rates and terms, which can differ meaningfully from full retail. Your Home Solar Scorecard shows the excess-energy policy for your specific utility before you size anything.
