Incentives · 2026
What still pays you to go solar.
Florida homeowners have four advantages written into state law and the utility tariff. Businesses, nonprofits and governments have the biggest federal incentive still on the table until the end of 2027. Pick your situation and we will show you exactly what applies.
Which are you
Three situations, three very different answers.
For your home
Four Florida advantages, written into law.
Property-tax exemption, no sales tax, full retail net metering, and what solar does to the value of the house.
Home incentives →
For your business
30% federal credit, one-year depreciation.
Still available for systems running by December 31, 2027. The timeline, the Florida stack, and why the real deadline is the contract.
The commercial credit →
Nonprofits, churches, governments
The same 30%, paid to you in cash.
No tax bill to offset? Direct Pay sends the credit as a payment from the Treasury. How it works and who qualifies.
