Key takeaways
- Every solar contractor in Florida needs an active state license. You can look one up in seconds on MyFloridaLicense.com.
- The same home can get very different system sizes and prices from different companies, so one quote is never enough.
- Solar equipment is exempt from Florida sales tax, and the value solar adds to your home is exempt from property tax.
- The 30% federal tax credit ended for homeowner-owned systems after 2025, so total price and payment terms matter more than ever.
- Grid-tied panels shut off when the power goes out. If storm backup matters to you, ask every company to quote a battery.
