Among the most pragmatic reasons to choose Florida solar power is that the kilowatt-hours of energy produced by the panels are substantially cheaper throughout the life of the panels. The initial outlay may be intimidating, but installing Florida solar power means you'll be generating your own electricity for free following your payback time.

Don’t Let Storms Knock Out Your Power Again

When a power outage caused by a Florida storm leaves you without power, it's tempting to become more energy independent. Many people choose Florida solar panels, particularly ones with a solar battery since it reduces their dependency on the power grid for electricity. Surges in grid demand will have no effect on your personal solar panel expenses, and power supply concerns will have less of an impact on your home system.

A smart house battery for solar energy storage may be used to store excess energy generated by your solar panel array for use when you need it the most. This means more savings, lesser carbon emissions, increased energy independence, and greater control over your renewable solar energy. It also means that when the sun goes down, clouds roll in, or your neighborhood's lights go out, you can rely on clean solar energy to satisfy your needs.

We are solar panel installers in Florida as well as battery specialists at Solvana. We create systems that will keep you running through storms, outages, and the night. To address our clients' home battery demands in Florida, we rely on best-in-class technology as well as BESS. Based on your individual energy needs, storage unit availability, cost, and preferences, we'll recommend the best home battery choice for your home.

Also, our inventive pergolas provide a good mix of function and price. They're typically used with a full-roof solar system.

We typically seek to position these pergolas away from shaded trees in order to generate more solar energy, but with these outdoor leisure areas, consistent operation is sometimes more important than production.

We also conceal conduit such that it runs through the attic wherever feasible to keep your array looking sleek and professional. Other businesses don’t do this.

As of March 2022, the  average cost of solar panels in Florida is $2.58 per watt. This puts the cost of a typical 6 kW solar system at $15,660 before any incentives and $11,442 after the 26 percent solar tax credit.

While it is a large sum of money, if all incentives are considered, you will end up paying much less. Solar panels in Florida are also less expensive than the national average for home solar power systems, which is now $3.00 per watt.

Installing a suitably sized renewable energy system in Florida might save you up to $80,000 in avoided energy expenditures. This is approximately average for the United States. The following example demonstrates the potential solar savings for a typical Hardee County, Florida home.

Solar system costs and savings for an average home in Hardee County, with a monthly utility bill of $169.

Your precise savings will be determined by a variety of factors, including utility provider rates, solar panel installation costs in Florida, and the environment in which you live. Above all, your overall savings will be determined by your energy use; the more power your home uses, the more you will save with solar panels.

Solar energy systems in Florida typically pay for themselves in approximately 10 years, but the payback period can be as short as 5 years. Some major aspects that influence your repayment time are as follows:

To optimize your savings, you should reduce your use as much as possible; this will result in your solar system sending more energy to the grid, which you get paid for!

The time of day when you use the most electricity also has a significant role in the length of time it takes to pay for your solar system. If you are at home during the day when your solar system produces the maximum energy, your solar system will export less electricity to the grid. The less energy you send to the grid, the less money your utility must give you in net metering credits. Although this is still less expensive than not having solar, it will raise your utility costs.

Many people think about a solar lease, in which a solar business puts solar panels on your home, you use the power, and the corporation owns the panels. You would be charged a monthly fee to cover the cost of the panels' leasing. While the cost you pay may be cheaper than the traditional power tariff in your location, the leased panels will never be "truly yours."

Governments in Florida use incentives and rebates to encourage consumers to install solar panels. Tax credits, rebates, and other Florida solar incentives can help reduce the initial cost of solar panels.

Florida provides a number of rebates and solar incentives that might help you save money on your solar panel purchase. One regulation mandated that no sales tax be levied on solar panels, and other localities have unique incentive schemes for renewable energy generation in their region. Low-interest loans are also available in some locations to help spread out the costs.

Another Florida solar incentive is net metering, which allows you to sell back surplus solar energy to the power grid and get bill credits when your panels create more energy than you need.

House Bill 741 and Senate Bill 1024 both passed in the Florida Legislature, which would make huge changes in net metering programs, the credit programs that determine how rooftop solar energy owners are currently subsidized by utility companies.

The federal government of the United States has also extended a significant 26 percent solar tax credit for individuals installing solar panels in Florida in 2021 and 2022. This tax credit may take some time to come, but when you do, you will be able to cover more than a fourth of the cost of solar panels in Florida.

Another Florida solar incentive is net metering, which allows you to sell back surplus solar energy to the power grid and get bill credits when your panels create more energy than you need.
