Jacksonville Solar Incentives, Tax Credits and Tax Exemptions
Federal Solar Tax Credit
The Investment Tax Credit (ITC), also called the federal solar tax credit, helps you reduce the cost of your solar energy system. You can deduct 30% of the cost of your solar energy system from your federal income taxes. There is no cap on the value of your tax credit and it applies to both residential and commercial systems.
The federal solar tax credit was recently increased to 30% and its timeline has been extended. If you install a solar PV system between now and 2032 you will receive a 30% tax credit.
The federal solar tax credit helps you save thousands of dollars in upfront costs, in addition to many solar incentives and tax exemptions for the state of Florida.
Florida Property Tax Exemption
Solar reduces your monthly electricity bills which can increase your home’s property value. Thankfully for Florida residents your property taxes will not go up because your home’s property value increased due to getting solar for your home.
A long-term study from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) found that when homeowners installed solar panels for their home, their home’s property value increased by $20 for every $1 they save each year on electricity bills. For example, if your home’s solar energy system reduces your annual electricity bills by $700 each year, your home’s value can increase by $14,000.
The state of Florida provides a 100% property tax exemption for residential solar panels and battery storage devices due to the state’s Property Tax Exclusion for Residential Renewable Energy Property.
Florida Sales Tax Exemption
Along with state property tax exemptions, solar panels and equipment are exempt from state sales taxes. The 6% state sales tax will not be charged for your home’s new solar energy system.
Florida Net Metering
Net Metering is when your utility company monitors how much energy your home’s solar system produces and how much energy you consume. In Florida, if you generate energy through your home’s solar panels you can sell that energy back to your utility company as credits.
Your credits can be applied to your energy bills or be paid out to you.
If your home’s solar system generates a surplus of energy, you will receive a credit from your utility company for that surplus energy.
Homeowners in the Orlando area can benefit from net metering programs offered by Duke Energy and Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC).
Florida Net Metering Programs - Duke Energy
Duke Energy’s net metering program allows Orlando area homeowners to offset their monthly electricity bills based on the amount of energy their home’s solar panel system generates.
Florida Net Metering - Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC)
If Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) is your utility provider, you will receive a credit for the excess electricity that your home’s solar system generates and send back to the electric grid each month.

I was in the market for solar for a while and had received bids from multiple companies, but shortly after speaking with Scott, the decision to go with Astrawatt was a no brainer.
Astrawatt was very cost-competitive, despite using the best technologies that solar energy has to offer! Many competitors tried to sell me cheaper inverters and panels for the same price.
