Florida's 1:1 net metering, the 30% federal tax credit, and the property tax exemption make West Palm Beach one of the strongest solar markets in the Southeast. Here's the detailed ROI analysis.
South Florida's abundant sunshine (250+ sunny days per year) combines with favorable solar policies to create one of the best residential solar markets in the country. FPL's 1:1 net metering means every kilowatt-hour your panels produce is credited at the full retail rate — currently averaging 13-15¢/kWh in Palm Beach County. Add the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit and Florida's 100% property tax exemption for solar improvements, and the economics are compelling. For a typical West Palm Beach home, solar panels pay back in 5-7 years with total 25-year savings of $50,000-$80,000.
