Florida utility context

Qualifying solar components can receive a sales-tax exemption

Florida’s Department of Revenue lists a sales-tax exemption for qualifying certified solar-energy-system components. Eligibility depends on the equipment and program rules.

This calculator uses a 14¢/kWh planning reference. Solar value still depends on your utility’s current net-metering and rate-plan rules.
