They want us to believe that solar is here and real and affordable but they can’t find anybody in FLORIDA to buy it without a huge subsidy. What a crock!!! They don’t tell you what the upfront costs are and of course nobody talks about the additional annual costs of insurance on the solar panels.
I was told that depending on your “Hurricane Zone” your insurance will go up anywhere from $500 to $1,200 A YEAR!!! That means by year 20-25, you will have paid for your system twice and that’s not counting regular maintenance like cleaning the panels, replacing panels that fail, etc..
There are reasons almost all homes in Florida don’t have solar panels.
All of my solar goes to my house first, any excess goes into the grid. If I over produce I see a "credit" on my bill that only goes to offset a later bill where my system didn't produce as much as I used. I've yet to receive a penny from the power company and my last 5 electric bills were all essentially zero - we overproduced and it went into the grid.
I see so many articles posted on solar and I find few of them contain accurate information, at least from my experience.
