What solar incentives are available in Florida?
In addition to drastically reducing or eliminating your electric bills and contributing to a cleaner environment.. you can also benefit from several local and federal incentives.
These incentives and programs are designed by the government to encourage homeowners to go solar.
Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
The Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a federal tax credit for qualified business customers who purchase solar energy systems for business use. The Federal ITC is also available to residential homes who lease solar from a qualified leasing structure. While residential customers can no longer take advantage of the tax credit directly on their personal income taxes, they are able to benefit through savings from leased solar.
The credit is worth between 30% and 50% of the total cost of the system and is applied as an income tax credit.
Change from the One Big Beautiful bill in 2025 eliminated the residential direct investment tax credit 5-years earlier than expected.

Net-Metering
Net-metering is a utility billing system that offers a credit to residential and business customers who are making excess electricity with their solar systems and sending it back to the grid. Florida homeowners with solar are able to sell back the excess energy produced by their system.
Sales Tax Exemption
Solar energy systems are completely exempt from sales tax in Florida, which saves you 6% of the total cost of your new solar system.
