There are a few great solar programs to help Floridians take advantage of all that sun, including:
FLORIDA NET METERING
In addition to Florida’s net metering policy and tax exemptions to encourage solar energy, the Federal government gives you another huge incentive, known as the Investment Tax Credit (ITC). This generous rebate effectively knocks off 26 percent of the cost of your new solar energy system, right off the bat, as a credit on your income tax. Keep in mind that that you must have enough income for the tax credit to be relevant, and the Federal ITC applies only to those who buy their PV system outright with a cash purchase or a solar loan.
PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION
Normally, when you build an addition or otherwise add value to your house, your property tax bills shoot up. Not so with solar. Thanks to Florida’s Property Tax Exclusion for Residential Renewable Energy Property, your solar system will not result in any additional costs on tax day.
SALES TAX EXEMPTION
Additionally, you will not even have to pay sales tax when you buy your new solar energy system, thanks to the Solar and CHP Sales Tax Exemption! That’s a 6 percent savings on what you would otherwise pay.
