Whatever you do make sure of the contract, there have been reports of some "zero cost" companies placing liens on homes and then when you decide to sell the new owners MUST take over the contract.
It is unfortunate, but the current utility environment in Florida appears to make it impossible to breakeven on solar, you are forced to NET metering, review the rates very carefully. DO NOT enter into any agreement with a solar supplier where they are the middleman between you and the utility.
Bottom line, there have been many threads on this in the past, and the general conclusion, you will not break even in your lifetime.
Please proceed carefully.
