Solar Rebates for Residential Customers

A solar water heater can cut a family's water-heating costs by up to 85 percent, according to the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC).

As part of a five-year pilot program authorized by the Florida Public Service Commission, FPL is offering rebates of $1,000 for every new residential solar water heater. The rebate is available to all existing FPL residential customers with electric or gas water heating. All of the 2012 rebate funds for this program have been reserved. If any unallocated funds remain due to unfulfilled projects, FPL may reopen the application process this summer. Applicants who do not receive a rebate for 2012 can apply for a 2013 rebate beginning in October of this year. Please check back for more information.
