Reading through the thread, it appears the consensus is that solar is good if electricity rates are very high, but since Florida has low rates they are not really worth it to do in Florida.

This is not even taking into account installers giving multi decade contracts to install for free.

There are some types of panels, more expensive, that are part of the roof which could be good if I stalled when a new roof is installed, such as solar tiles, but the bolt on type appear to cause more harm than good.

Florida needs to get electric choice like PA has. You pick your generation company. That means you can choose a green company if saving the planet is the goal.
