People who have solar are happy.

However, it is not worthwhile from a financial perspective here is why:

Your electricity is purchased at retail .12 per KwH but excess electricity generated is sold back to the utility at wholesale, slightly under .08. This coupled with .12KwH is about the national average (no it is not cheaper than the average) and Florida offers no state tax incentives for solar makes this a losing proposition especially when opportunity costs are considered.
