Solar Incentives Available in Miami
Solar incentives in Miami come in three layers. First, every homeowner qualifies for the 30% federal Residential Clean Energy Credit on the full installed cost, claimed on IRS Form 5695. Florida does not add a state income tax credit, so the federal credit is the main up-front incentive. Third, FPL sets the local rules for crediting the solar power you export.
FPL offers full retail net metering in Miami, and Florida law exempts solar from both sales tax and added property tax.
