Join the nation's largest community solar program
With FPL SolarTogether, you can take part in shared solar energy without installing rooftop panels. Whether you rent or own, joining is simple.
The program is currently open to small and medium business customers on a first-come, first-served basis. If space is full when you enroll, you will be added to the waitlist and automatically enrolled as soon as capacity becomes available.
How the program works
Getting started is simple
1. Choose your solar subscription
Subscribe in one kW increments to a share of solar energy produced by our dedicated large-scale energy centers across Florida. The solar energy produced is delivered to the electric grid along with energy from other generation sources across our system.
When you enroll, use the calculator to see how different subscription sizes may impact your bill based on your energy usage.
2. Pay a fixed monthly subscription charge
Your monthly subscription charge is based on the amount of solar capacity you choose, at a fixed cost of $6.76 per kW you subscribe to.
There’s no equipment to buy, install or maintain — and no panels are placed on your roof or property.
Average solar generation
Solar generation varies based on weather conditions, seasonal changes and other operational factors, and may be higher or lower in any given month, season or year.
3. Receive monthly bill credits
Each month, you’ll receive a credit based on your share of actual solar production. Because solar production varies throughout the year, your credit will vary from month to month.
Your subscription charge may be higher than your credit in the early years. Your credit rate increases 1.5% each year, which may help lower your bill over time.
How it works on your bill:
- Your regular electric bill
+ SolarTogether subscription charge
– SolarTogether credit
= Your total monthly bill
Program space is currently limited. If the program is full when you enroll, you will be added to the waitlist and automatically enrolled as soon as space becomes available.

How community solar works
Sunlight is captured
Solar panels at our solar energy centers collect energy from the sun and turn it into electricity.
The power is converted
Inverters change the electricity into the type of power used by the electric grid.
The energy joins the grid
The electricity moves through power equipment so it can be delivered reliably to the grid.
Solar energy serves all FPL customers
The energy helps power homes and businesses across Florida.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
- The monthly subscription charge is a fixed dollar amount per kilowatt (kW) to which you subscribe. It reflects the costs of operating and maintaining solar energy centers in the FPL SolarTogether program.
- Subscriptions are available in 1 kW increments at a fixed cost of $6.76 per kW.
- During enrollment, your energy from the previous 12 months will be converted to kW to determine your maximum subscription level.
- The monthly subscription credit reflects your share of the solar energy generated by the solar energy centers each month.
- Each month, FPL calculates the actual solar energy produced by the solar energy centers. Your share of that energy is based on your subscription level and is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Your monthly credit is then calculated by multiplying your share of the solar energy produced by your subscription credit rate.
- Your subscription credit rate increases by 1.5% annually, so your monthly credits are expected to grow the longer you remain in the program, which can help lower your monthly energy bill over time.
- The program is available throughout FPL’s service area on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to subscription availability.
- You can choose to participate if you are an FPL customer in an eligible rate class. There must be 12 months of usage data associated with your premise and at least one month of billing usage. Your account must also be current with no delinquent balances.
- Participation may be terminated by FPL if you become subject to collection actions on your FPL account.
- You may join the program’s waitlist, and as subscriptions become available, you will be notified of your enrollment and projected billing date.
- Subscription availability can open up when an existing participant decreases their subscription or exits the program.
- No. FPL SolarTogether is different from private rooftop solar and third-party solar financing. When you participate in SolarTogether, you do not purchase or lease solar panels, and no panels are installed on your roof or property. Instead, you subscribe to solar power generated at FPL’s large-scale solar energy centers across the state.
- For those who wish to participate in the benefits of solar energy without putting panels on their roof or those who rent their home, FPL SolarTogether offers an affordable and accessible option.
- With FPL SolarTogether, there are no long-term contracts, financing arrangements, installation or equipment costs, termination fees or additional liability insurance requirements. Your subscription is also transferable if you move within FPL’s service territory.
With my participation in FPL SolarTogether, will the solar energy produced through the program be delivered directly to my business?
- No, not directly. The power generated by FPL SolarTogether solar energy centers is delivered to the energy grid along with energy from other generation sources across FPL’s system to power millions of Floridians.
- A Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) is a market-based instrument that represents the environmental attributes associated with the generation of electricity from renewable resources, such as a solar energy center.
- It represents one-megawatt-hour of electricity.
- RECs are used by businesses as a cost-effective way to offset their carbon footprint and/or meet regulatory requirements.
*To transfer your subscription, your new address must be within FPL’s service area and meet program eligibility requirements.
