Absolutely. Besides the above, you will be sharing the solar output with the company that owns the panels and system. It may not cut your bill all that much. Electricity is much cheaper in Florida than in many other states. In addition, the power companies in Florida don't want you to compete with them, so payback is even less than in other states. If you do put in a system, I would strongly suggest adding an inverter and batteries for backup. Much nicer than a gasoline generator if the power grid goes down.
