Florida Power & Light Company received approval from the Florida Public Service Commission to launch what will be the largest community solar program in the U.S. The program will be titled FPL SolarTogether and will double the amount of community solar available in the U.S. The program will give customers the opportunity to subscribe to have a portion or all of their electricity come from solar generation.
FPL says SolarTogether is a "response to increased customer demand for alternative ways to receive the financial and environmental benefits of solar generation." SolarTogether will increase the state's solar panel count to 30 million by 2030, building 20 new plants and allowing any FPL customer to participate.
Beginning March 17, 2020, customers will be able to subscribe to the program. Participants will see line item costs and credits associated with SolarTogether on their bills, however, the credits will increase and outweigh the subscription charge in three to five years acting as a payback to the customer's bill.
Benefits of participating in FPL SolarTogether:
- Fixed monthly subscription charge, no upfront cost or cancellation fees, and receive solar credits immediately.
- Ability to go 100% solar using FPL built and maintained solar power plants located across Florida to optimize performance.
- No rooftop installation needed, no maintenance or insurance required, and you can take it with you if you move.
