Why install photovoltaic solar panels for your home?
Electricity plays a much more important role than just a convenience in our daily lives. Both its cost and its environmental impact are raising growing concerns. In this context, photovoltaic solar panels are emerging as a sustainable response to these pressing concerns.
To encourage and support individuals in this approach, the State provides them with significant subsidies and tax advantages. By combining this financial aid, a considerable part of the total cost of the installation can be covered.
If you are wondering about the solution best suited to your profile and your accommodation, do not hesitate to contact one of our experts. They are available to discuss your needs.

Value for Homeowners
Not only does net metering help reduce or eliminate future electricity bills, but it also promotes energy independence while contributing to a cleaner environment.
You may have heard about the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) recent ruling on “net metering” and “NEM 3.0”.
Benefits of Net Metering
Saving on Electricity Bills by Earning Credits
Originally, 1 kWh surplus = 1 kWh credit. Now, Time-Of-Use rates (TOU) make prices flexible based on when you use energy.
Selling energy during busy hours gets you more credits. To benefit, add Sunstream Power energy solutions including batteries and solar panels and save even more by using cheap energy when prices are high.
Reducing the Load on the Grid during Peak Hours
When homeowners produce more energy than they need, the excess is sent back to the grid.
This extra energy supplements the grid’s power supply during high-demand periods, like peak hours, preventing brownouts and helping to stabilize the grid. In a way, solar panel owners become mini power suppliers, making the energy system more reliable for everyone.
Florida Power and Light offers net metering to customers across its entire service area, which covers most of Florida, excluding the Panhandle.
How does Florida Power and Light net metering work?
Florida Power and Light’s net metering program allows homeowners to install and connect solar energy systems to the grid and receive credit for the energy produced by their systems. FPL allows customers to install systems meeting up to 115 percent of their current energy need. Customers’ credits will be applied to their energy bill, and FPL and will provide monetary compensation for any extra credits not used over the course of the year in January.
Where does Florida Power and Light offer net metering?
Florida Power and Light offers net metering to customers across its entire services area, which covers most of Florida, excluding the Panhandle. The service territory includes parts of:
- Clearwater
- Daytona Beach
- Fort Lauderdale
- Fort Myers
- Gainesville
- Kissimmee
- Lake City
- Lakeland
- Melbourne
- Miami
- Naples
- Ocala
- Orlando
- Port St. Lucie
- St. Augustine
- St. Petersburg
- Tampa
- West Palm Beach
Is Florida Power and Light net metering the best in Florida?
FPL is not the only utility in Florida that offers net metering. Tampa Electric Company, Gulf Power, and Duke Energy all offer net metering programs with like structure to FPL’s. All programs provide customers with payment for credits not used to offset energy bills by the end of the year. Of the four utilities, FPL has the highest application fee for Tier 2 and Tier 3 systems, though those costs are largely irrelevant to residential customers.
What will happen to my Florida Power and Light net metering bill credits?
The duration and intensity of sunlight differs across the year. As a result, a solar system that is designed to meet your total energy needs over the course of a year will overproduce electricity in some months and underproduce in others.
In months when your solar system produces more energy than you need to use, the energy will be sold back to FPL’s grid in exchange for net metering credits. These credits can be used for a future energy bill in the same calendar year. Bill credits do not carry over across calendar years because of Florida’s net metering policies. If you have credits at the end of the year, a cash credit will be offered on your January bill.
Does Florida Power and Light offer other solar incentives?
No, FPL does not offer rebates or other solar incentives. However, FPL is invested in supporting Florida solar. In 2016, FPL built three 74.5 MW solar arrays, each of which have the capacity to generate power for about 15,000 homes. Since then, they have expanded their investment with goal of installing 30 million solar panels in Florida by 2030.
Option 1
Self-consumption with sale of surplus
In self-consumption mode with send of the surplus (also known as Net Energy Metering), you can consume your energy production and send that surplus electricity back to the grid and received credits in return.
This configuration today represents 80% of homeowner installations. It impresses with its flexibility and profitability.
- The sun is shining! You are in a situation of self-consumption. Your electrical appliances are completely powered by your solar panels.
- When your production is not enough to power your entire house, the network is then called upon to provide you with the missing energy without you feeling it, this is done automatically without cuts or voltage irregularities, this does not change anything to your habits and gives you total comfort.
- When you are absent or your energy production exceeds your electricity needs, the surplus is sent back to the grid and received credits in return.
How Net Metering Works?
When you have solar panels on your roof, chances are you might not be using all the energy they produce.
Don’t worry, that excess energy doesn’t go to waste!
You can send that surplus electricity back to the grid and receive credits in return.
These credits are applied for electricity use when your system doesn’t generate enough energy to cover your consumption, such as at night or during cloudy days.
You therefore are only billed for your “net” energy usage.
Since its introduction in 1979, most states in the US have adopted a version of net metering, also known as net energy metering.
Option 2
Total self-consumption
Total self-consumption without injection consists of consuming all of the electricity produced by your photovoltaic solar installation. This configuration is especially common among users of low-power solar kits.
Total self-consumption does not necessarily imply that you produce all of your consumption or that you become 100% independent of the electricity network. Indeed, unless your home is equipped with a battery to store electricity not consumed at the moment, you will always need the network to relay your solar panels during the night.
Total self-consumption is suitable for people needing to reduce their energy bill or for housing in isolated sites.
Option 3
Energy Total Sale (only for professional resellers)
The total sale of electricity is mainly intended for large photovoltaic installations such as hangars for example.
This is the mode of consumption that predominated several years ago when we could not consume our own energy. When you completely resell your energy production, you do not consume the electricity you produce. You resell everything to EDF OA solar at a price that changes every quarter.
If the first repurchase contracts offered very advantageous rates, this is no longer quite the case, in fact the repurchase rates have been revised downwards from quarter to quarter so that on a home, it is more profitable to self-consume rather than resell all of the energy produced.
Here, we are in a logic of pure profitability. Therefore, the larger the installation, the more profitable your investment will be.
