Solar contract help for Florida homeowners
The Sunshine State has seen a surge in solar sales, along with plenty of homeowners who feel misled. We help Floridians understand their agreements and pursue a fair resolution.
Solar in Florida: what to know
Most Florida homeowners with solar are customers of Florida Power & Light, Duke Energy Florida, Tampa Electric, or a municipal utility or co-op. Florida's net metering rules generally credit excess solar energy, but your real savings still depend on system size, shading, roof orientation, and how much power you use at night. Hurricanes and severe storms add another layer: roof penetrations, panel damage, and insurance questions are common.
What we see most often in Florida
- Loans sold with tax credit promises that didn't fit the homeowner's tax situation
- Retirees pressured into long-term loans on fixed incomes
- Roof leaks and storm damage disputes, and confusion over who removes and reinstalls panels for a roof replacement
- Insurance complications after installation
- Systems that underproduce because of shading or poor design
- Homeowners who were told solar was part of a government initiative
Florida protections worth knowing about
Florida's home solicitation law generally gives buyers three business days to cancel qualifying in-home sales. Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act prohibits deceptive sales practices, with added penalties when seniors are harmed. The Florida Attorney General has taken action against solar sellers and warned consumers about solar scams. This is general information, not legal advice.

Florida FAQs
I need a new roof, and the solar company wants a big fee to remove the panels. Can you look at that?
Yes. We review your agreement's removal, reinstallation, and maintenance terms.
My insurer raised questions after my solar install. Is that something you handle?
We don't handle insurance claims, but we can review how your solar agreement addresses damage and insurance, and include it in your case file.
I was told solar was part of a government initiative. Was that true?
Solar is sold by private companies. If you were told otherwise, that's worth documenting. Tell us exactly what was said.
Every agreement and every situation is different. Results vary, and no one can promise a specific outcome.
