Home incentives · 2026
Four ways Florida rewards a solar home.
No sales tax on the equipment, no property-tax hit on the added value, full retail credit for the power you send back, and a house worth more when you sell. Here is how the numbers work for a Florida home in 2026.
What Florida still gives you
Four things written into Florida law and your utility's tariff.
100%
Property-tax exemption
Solar raises what your home is worth. Florida exempts that added value from your assessment, so the house appreciates and the tax bill does not follow it up.
0%
No sales tax on the equipment
Florida charges no sales tax on certified solar equipment. On a typical home system that is around nine hundred dollars you simply never pay.
1:1
Full retail net metering
FPL and Duke credit the power you send back at the same rate they charge you. Your roof runs the meter both directions.
+4.1%
Home value, per Zillow
Zillow puts homes with owned solar in our area about 4.1% higher. Thanks to the exemption above, the tax bill never sees it.
The real incentive
You stop renting your power.
A power bill is rent. It goes up every year and at the end of thirty years you own nothing. A system you own pays you back every month it runs, and it is still on the roof, still working, after it has paid for itself.
Zero-down financing typically lands the monthly payment within a few dollars of the bill it replaces. The savings make the payment. No credit required.
