FPL rates are rising again in 2026. Secure your energy independence with a hurricane-rated solar + battery system.
In 2026, Florida remains one of the most affordable places to go solar. The average cost is approximately $2.19 per watt. However, system sizes here are larger (typically 11kW–14kW) to handle heavy Air Conditioning usage.
| System Size | Avg Cost (Cash) | Historical 2025 After-Credit Cost (Not Available in 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| 6 kW (Condo) | ~$13,145 | ~$9,201 |
| 10 kW (Avg Home) | ~$21,909 | ~$15,336 |
| 14 kW (Large Home) | ~$30,670 | ~$21,469 |
Key Insight: While “Free Solar” ads are scams, NationPro’s wholesale pricing can often replace your $300 FPL bill with a fixed $180 solar payment.
Florida currently mandates 1:1 Net Metering for investor-owned utilities like FPL, Duke, and TECO. This means for every kWh you send to the grid, you get a full retail credit.
FPL has repeatedly tried to reduce these credits. By installing solar in 2026, you lock in your Net Metering agreement for 20 years, grandfathering you in against future policy changes.
If you install a large system (over 10kW, which is common in Florida), utilities like FPL and Duke require you to carry a $1 Million Personal Liability Insurance Policy.
Don’t panic. This sounds expensive, but it typically costs only $15–$30 per month as an umbrella policy added to your home insurance. Our team helps you navigate this paperwork so your interconnection isn’t delayed.
Only if you have a battery. Standard solar systems shut down when the grid fails. To keep your AC running after a storm, you need a Solar Battery.
Duke Energy Florida has removed the storm recovery charge for 2026, but the threat of outages remains. A battery is your only guarantee of power.
The average cost of residential solar in Florida is roughly $2.19 per watt before incentives. A typical 10kW system costs about $21,900 before any applicable state or utility incentives. The former federal homeowner credit is unavailable for installations completed in 2026.
Yes. FPL offers 1:1 Net Metering, crediting you the full retail rate for excess energy you send to the grid. It is highly recommended to install now to “grandfather” this rate for 20 years before policies potentially change.
If your system is larger than 10kW (Tier 2 system), Florida utilities require you to carry $1 million in liability insurance. Most homeowners satisfy this with a low-cost umbrella policy added to their home insurance.
