Florida Incentives & Rebates

Florida offers a property tax exemption for residential solar and a sales tax exemption on solar equipment. No state income tax means no state solar tax credit. Net metering available. Note: The federal 30% residential solar tax credit expired December 31, 2025 for customer-owned systems. Solar leases and PPAs may still offer indirect savings from the commercial tax credit.
