How this rebate layers inside Florida's deep stack

The FPL SolarTogether Community Solar pays out as a direct rebate rather than a tax credit, one of Florida's solar incentive programs tracked in DSIRE. Eligibility is scoped to residential customers, with a stated benefit of Bill credits for subscribers. DSIRE lists no scheduled sunset, though enabling legislation and appropriations can still be revised year to year.

That baseline is slower than most states, which raises the stakes for every incentive on the table. Florida averages 5.6 kWh/m²/day of usable sunlight and residential rates of 14.5¢/kWh, producing an estimated 9,811 kWh/year and $1,423 of annual utility offset on a typical 6 kW system costing $17,100. That baseline already implies a 12-year simple payback and a 25-year modeled net of roughly $18,475 before this incentive - every dollar this rebate delivers compresses that payback further.

Florida bundles a deep incentive stack, so this program rarely stands alone. Florida has 5 solar incentive programs indexed in DSIRE, including adjacent options like FL Solar Energy Property Tax Exemption, FL Solar Sales Tax Exemption, FL Net Metering. The state's net-metering policy is classified as full, which governs how excess generation is credited and often decides whether a given program is worth claiming for a specific household.
