Solar Rebates in Miami, Florida (2026)

Miami is in FPL service territory — Florida's largest utility and one of the strongest 1:1 net metering programs in the United States. Combined with Florida's sales tax exemption (100% on solar equipment, saving ~6%), property tax abatement (100% added value, permanent), and federal 25D (30%), Miami delivers Miami solar paybacks of 6–8 years. Miami's strong solar resource (5.6 kWh/m²/day insolation) and average residential rates ($0.13–$0.16/kWh) drive the economics. Hurricane resilience is a major buyer concern — modern solar installations meet 150+ mph wind-load standards and battery backup adds tangible value during extended outages.
