Florida Solar Incentives and Rebates
Lower your upfront costs with Florida’s generous solar incentives and rebates. Our team can help you navigate the application process.
Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC)
Florida homeowners can benefit from the 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit, which applies to the entire cost of the solar system, including equipment, labor, and any battery storage. This can significantly reduce the upfront cost of installing solar panels in Florida.
Florida Sales Tax Exemption
Solar installations in Florida are exempt from the state’s 6% sales tax. This means immediate savings on your total system price, with an average savings of around $2,000 on a typical $30,000 solar energy system.
Property Tax Exemption
Normally, increasing your home’s value raises your property taxes. However, Florida’s property tax exemption ensures that the added value from your home solar panel system will not result in higher property taxes. This can save you approximately $280 per year, or about $5,600 over 20 years.
Net Metering
Florida’s net metering program allows homeowners to earn energy credits for excess electricity their solar panels generate. These credits can offset future utility bills, making solar energy systems even more cost-effective. This is particularly valuable in a state with as much sunlight as Florida.

Battery Backups for Solar Panels in Florida
In Florida, battery backups provide reliable power during storms and outages. Paired with solar panels, they store extra energy, keeping essentials like lights, refrigerators, and medical equipment running when the grid goes down. Unlike generators, battery backups don’t need fuel and are quieter, using clean energy stored from your solar energy system.
Designed to handle Florida’s extreme weather, including high winds, severe rain and hail, solar panel systems with battery storage offer peace of mind during hurricane season.
Florida Solar Installation Reviews

I inherited a house that had quite a few issues. A friend told me my roof was the worse one he had seen in his 32 years of doing roof work. I wasn’t sure how I was going to get a new roof, but these kind men came to talk to me one day from Current Home and told me about my options. Now I have a beautiful new roof. The roofer’s came out and fixed all the problems in one day. The next day I went out in the afternoon and I had a beautiful new roof. It was so amazing I sat in my car and just looked at it and cried tears of joy for five minutes. Everyone has been so polite and helpful and professional. It has been my honor to work with Current Home I highly recommend them to anyone needing any roof replacement!
Although I am in love with the concept of solar, I concluded that the numbers did not work out in my favor, mainly due to my advanced age. But Trevor's presentation was very professional with no high-pressure selling (which would have been an immediate turn-off for me). I can recommend Trevor if you would like a no-pressure presentation as to the benefits of solar power
Brandon & Current Home are the absolute go-to for solar! I have spoken to numerous solar companies, and there are always these little details in the contract that make your skin crawl, and if I am honest, I thought this would have been the same here... But I was wrong. Current Home's quality of solar panels and wonderful maintenance team coupled with a production guarantee made me happy to refer Brandon and Current Home to both friends and family members. With the price of electricity going up year-after-year, I am glad to save money while doing a small part in supporting renewable energy. I get real-time monitoring of my system status and generation and that data is perfect for confirming bills are accurate with TECO.
Update: I received several company phone calls and they explained what occurred in my interaction and how they addressed it. Current Home ended up providing me a fair price for installation and ended up signing up with them. The process took several months and they were in contact with me throughout the entire process. At this time, the solar panels have been installed and are producing as of late June! Original: I strongly suggest shopping around and meeting with other companies before agreeing to anything with Current Home. My rep was Jack and... not only he hid a lot of important information, he misconstrued details. Not only that, when I informed him that I had cancelled my request, he was very rude. 100% do NOT recommend.
Brandon was fantastic! His knowledge of solar solutions was impressive, and he took the time to explain everything clearly, tailoring options to my home’s needs. He was professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about getting me the best deal. Thanks to Brandon, I’m confidently switching to solar with Current Home. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Current Home Solar is an incredible team, and their service is top-notch! Speaking from a supplier standpoint, I'm impressed by their level of organization and care for their customers. I can't recommend them enough, they're truly a next-level organization!

She kept us informed at all times and following up every step during and after the solar system installation!

Ryan Snook and the team at Current Home Solar are absolute professionals! Their knowledge, customer service, and dedication to helping homeowners save on energy costs are top-notch. If you’re looking for a reliable solar company, Ryan is the guy to call. Highly recommend!
Ryan worked with my parents to install solar at their home. They did a great job with the project. Communication was on point and Ryan even came back after completion to make sure they were happy with the work.
Extremely impressed with Current Home Solar. Our rep Daniel stayed in constant contact with us. He updated us every step of the way, and was always there to answer any questions. The install guys were very professional, and our system looks amazing! Daniel came out and showed us how to use the app and walked us through how to use everything. We absolutely recommend Daniel and Current Home for Solar. Thank you so much!
I just wanted to say that I had a very good and communicative experience with this business. Micayla was very helpful and responded very quickly and helped with whatever questions I had. I would recommend this business again
