The Problem
FPL Rates Have Risen Consistently — And May Continue
Every year you stay fully on grid power, you remain exposed to rate increases you cannot control, predict, or budget around. Historically, commercial electricity rates in Florida have increased between 4–12% annually.
At a conservative 4% annual increase, a $2,200/month bill could become approximately $3,210/month by Year 15 and $4,750/month by Year 25 — without using a single additional watt of power.
* Illustrative example. Actual rate changes depend on FPL regulatory filings and market conditions.
Why This Makes Sense Financially
Six Reasons Beyond the Monthly Bill
Most people think solar is just about lowering the utility bill. That's only part of the story. Here's what else changes when you own a solar system.
Demand Charge Reduction
FPL doesn't just charge for how much electricity you use — they also charge based on the highest spike of usage in a single 15-minute window each month. Solar smooths out that peak during daylight hours.
Often the most underestimated savings on a commercial account
Net Metering
When your solar panels produce more power than your facility is using, the excess flows back to FPL's grid and FPL credits your account for it. Your savings accumulate around the clock.
Your panels may earn credits around the clock
Owned Asset on Your Balance Sheet
A solar system is depreciable commercial property. It sits on your balance sheet as a capital asset, is written off over 5 years via MACRS, and may increase the appraised value of your building.
May add value to the property itself
Property Value Increase
Commercial properties with solar systems may appraise higher than comparable properties without them. The system transfers with the property and is factored into the sale price.
May increase what the building is worth at exit
Fixed, Predictable Energy Costs
FPL sets your energy cost and changes it whenever they want. Solar converts a portion of your energy cost from variable to fixed. Better for budgeting and long-term financial planning.
Helps remove utility rate risk from your P&L
Financing Options Available
If you prefer not to use cash or standard financing, various loan programs may be applied to commercial solar projects. Many businesses can potentially go solar with little to no upfront capital.

Federal Tax Incentives
The Government May Pay for a Large Part of Your System
Most business owners are surprised to learn how much of the system cost they may recover through tax incentives. There are two main ones — and combined, they can potentially reduce your effective cost significantly.
Up to 30%
Federal ITC
Investment Tax Credit. A direct, dollar-for-dollar credit against your tax bill. Subject to applicable IRS requirements.
20%+
MACRS Depreciation
Accelerated write-off. The IRS allows you to depreciate the solar system over 5 years — faster than normal.
50–55%
Potential Total Cost Reduction
When you combine both incentives, the effective net cost of the system may be significantly reduced. Eligibility varies.
Tax incentive availability and amounts are subject to change. The federal ITC and bonus depreciation rules have specific eligibility criteria. Consult a qualified tax professional before making any tax-related decisions.
How to Pay for It
Three Paths — All Potentially Cash-Flow Positive
| Structure | Upfront Cost | Tax Benefits | Year 1 Cash Flow | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cash Purchase | Full system cost | Fully retained | Highest long-term ROI | Strong cash position, max return |
| Loan Financing | Little to none | Fully retained | Potentially positive immediately | Preserve liquidity, own asset |
| SBA Loan | Minimal / flexible | Fully retained | Potentially positive immediately | Gov-backed financing |
| PPA / Lease | None | Passed to provider | Potentially positive immediately | Zero capital outlay |

Implementation
From Contract to Full Power in Under 6 Months
Utility Data Review & Design
Weeks 1–2
We review your FPL data, confirm roof dimensions and condition, and produce a custom system design sized to your actual load.
Permitting & Approvals
Weeks 3–8
We handle all permit applications and coordinate any required approvals. This window is driven by municipality and utility timelines.
Installation
Weeks 6–12
Crew installs panels, racking, inverters, and electrical connection. Most commercial installations complete in 5–10 business days.
FPL Interconnection
Weeks 10–20
FPL inspects and approves the connection. Once approved, the system pushes power to the grid and net metering begins.
System Live
Month 4–6
System is commissioned, monitoring is active, and your first bill reflecting solar production arrives.
Next Steps
Let's Move This Forward
Three actions between now and a formal proposal with your exact numbers:
Share Your FPL Bill
12 months of billing history lets us model your actual usage, identify demand charges, and size the system correctly.
Confirm Roof Ownership & Access
We need to confirm that the roof is available for installation. For condo or shared property situations, we can help coordinate.
Site Walk & Final Proposal
We visit your facility, confirm structural and electrical conditions, and deliver a complete proposal with exact system size, cost, savings, and payback timeline.
