Maximizing Savings with Florida’s Solar Incentives (2025)
Florida Solar Savings Guide
Investing in solar energy in Florida can lead to substantial savings, thanks to various federal and state incentives. Below are key programs designed to make solar energy more affordable:
1. Federal Solar Tax Credit (Investment Tax Credit – ITC)
Purpose: Provides substantial tax relief for solar installations.
Benefit: The Federal Government offers a tax credit that covers 30% of a solar system’s overall cost. The credit is a dollar-for-dollar credit against your personal income taxes. The entire amount can be claimed in one year and it will come back on the following tax return.
2. Net Metering
Purpose: Offsets electricity costs for homeowners generating excess solar power.
Benefit: Utilities provide bill credits for surplus electricity sent to the grid, reducing future energy expenses.
3. Sales Tax Exemption
Purpose: Lowers the upfront cost of solar equipment.
Benefit: Florida waives the 6% sales tax on solar panels and related components.
4. Property Tax Exclusion for Residential Renewable Energy
Purpose: Prevents an increase in property taxes due to solar installation.
Benefit: The added home value from solar panels will not increase property tax assessments.
