As a family-owned company based right here in West Palm Beach, we are committed to helping our neighbors harness Florida's abundant sunshine for clean, affordable energy.
Why Solar Panel Installation Makes Sense in Florida
Florida is known as the Sunshine State for good reason. With an average of 237 sunny days per year, Palm Beach County is one of the best locations in the country for solar energy production. That means your solar panels generate power consistently throughout the year, maximizing your return on investment.
Electricity costs from FPL have been steadily rising, and homeowners across Palm Beach County are feeling the impact on their monthly bills. Solar panel installation allows you to generate your own electricity, reducing or even eliminating your dependence on the utility grid. With Florida's net metering law, you can sell excess power back to FPL, earning credits on your bill for the energy your system produces but you do not use.
The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) currently offers a 30% tax credit on the total cost of your solar panel system, and this incentive is available through 2032. Because Florida has no state income tax, the federal credit becomes even more impactful for homeowners here. Beyond monthly savings, solar panels increase your property value. Studies consistently show that homes with solar installations sell for approximately 4% more than comparable homes without solar, making it a smart long-term investment for any homeowner in West Palm Beach, Jupiter, Boca Raton, or anywhere in Palm Beach County.

Solar Panel Systems We Install
We install high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panels, which offer the highest energy output per square foot and perform exceptionally well in Florida's climate. Monocrystalline panels are the industry standard for residential and commercial installations due to their superior efficiency and long-term durability.
For energy storage, we offer leading battery options including the Tesla Powerwall and Enphase battery systems. Battery storage allows you to maintain power during outages and store excess solar energy for use during peak electricity rate hours, further reducing your energy costs.
We also help you choose between microinverter and string inverter configurations based on your roof layout and shading conditions. Microinverters optimize each panel individually, making them ideal for roofs with partial shading, while string inverters are a cost-effective choice for unshaded installations. System size is always customized to your needs, with typical residential systems ranging from 6 to 12 kW depending on household energy consumption and available roof space.

Florida Solar Incentives and Savings
Florida offers some of the best solar incentives in the country, making solar panel installation an excellent financial decision for homeowners and businesses in Palm Beach County. The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) provides a 30% tax credit on the total cost of your solar system, including equipment and installation. This credit applies to both residential and commercial installations.
In addition to the federal credit, Florida exempts all solar equipment from state sales tax, saving you an additional 6% on the cost of your system. Florida law also provides a property tax exemption for solar installations, meaning your solar panels will not increase your property tax assessment even though they increase your home's market value.
With FPL net metering, any excess electricity your system produces is sent back to the grid and credited to your account. Most homeowners in Palm Beach County see a payback period of 6 to 8 years on their solar investment and save $100 to $200 or more per month on their FPL electricity bills. Over the 25-plus year lifespan of a solar panel system, that adds up to tens of thousands of dollars in savings.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Panel Installation
How much do solar panels cost in West Palm Beach?
A typical residential solar panel system in Palm Beach County costs $15,000 to $30,000 before incentives. After the 30% federal tax credit, most homeowners pay $10,500 to $21,000. System cost varies based on size, equipment, and roof complexity. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know your exact cost upfront. Call (561) 401-8079 to schedule yours.
How long does solar panel installation take?
The physical installation typically takes one to three days for most residential solar panel systems. However, the full process from initial consultation to system activation usually takes six to eight weeks. The majority of that time is spent on permitting and FPL interconnection approval, both of which we handle on your behalf.
Will solar panels work during a hurricane?
Modern solar panel systems are engineered to withstand winds up to 160 mph, and all of our installations meet Florida Building Code requirements for hurricane zones. Your panels are securely mounted using heavy-duty racking systems designed for South Florida weather conditions. If you add battery storage to your system, you can also maintain power to essential circuits in your home during grid outages caused by storms.
How much will I save on my FPL bill with solar?
Most homeowners in Palm Beach County save $100 to $200 or more per month on their electricity bills after installing solar panels. Your actual savings depend on several factors, including system size, your household energy consumption, roof orientation, and shading. During our free consultation, we analyze your FPL bills and calculate your projected monthly and lifetime savings so you can make an informed decision.
Do solar panels increase home value?
Yes. Research consistently shows that solar panels increase home value by approximately 4%. Buyers are willing to pay a premium for homes with solar because of the long-term energy savings. In Florida, solar equipment is also exempt from property tax increases, so you benefit from the higher market value without paying additional property taxes.
