The Sunshine State is finally realizing its solar-energy generation potential.

Florida tops in US for solar installations so far in 2023, new report says::The Sunshine State is finally realizing its solar-energy generation potential.

This is a waste. What’s the point of generating electricity underwater?

There’s no way they survive long enough to make it underwater on most homes. Have you seen how often hurricanes come through. Entire roofs get ripped off constantly. Large flat object on top of roof? That’s not going to stick around long.

Climate change isn’t real! Guys, the insurance companies won’t insure anyone and are leaving the state because of increasinf severe weather events. We have to start a socialized insurance company to try and keep people insured. Our voters are too stupid to realize that this makes our entire ethos a joke right?

The monthly payment on my 25-year, 7% loan for my solar installation is less than the average power bill. My solar system generates more than I need. Assuming rates never go down, I’m in good shape.

What company did you go with?

Optimus Energy in Mt. Dora. Went with them because they had the best overall ‘bang for the buck’ AND their core values are green energy. They aren’t electricians or roofers trying to jump on the solar train.

Is it a roof or land install? If it’s roof curious about the installs effect on the roof and getting work done? Issues or cost increases on getting roof work are what’s really holding my decision.

No additional stress to the roof. One does have to remove then reinstall if getting the roof done. The cost is approx. $100/panel. With 42 panels, that’s an extra $4200 for a roof job. But, that’s the only real consideration.

Don’t tell DeSantis. He’ll put a stop to this real quick if he finds out.

On the contrary, he shot down the legislation that would end net metering, which is critical for me to be productive with the excess power I generate.
