Florida is a very solar PV UNFRIENDLY state. You can go to the SECO website, and do a search on solar. This will get you the latest requirements, etc. The best you will do is NET metering from SECO. None of the FL utilities provide any assistance in this area. The federal grants were extended. There are no third party options that I know of.

Now a word of caution, there are some junk solar panels out there. Once you have gotten your replies, ask your proposed installer what solar panels they use, as well as the inverter, etc. Then independently of whatever the installer says, check the viability of the panel supplier. The typical solar panel warranty is 25 year operating to a specific level. The installer should have a warranty on there work.

I have extensive background in this area (NOT including actual installation) but all other aspects. Send me a PM if you would like to discuss further.
