Find the Help You Need

Jump Directly to the Part of Your Solar Problem That Matters Most

Florida solar disputes often turn on contract disclosures, cancellation timing, financing structure, utility billing, PACE-style property assessments, contractor licensing, and whether the sales pitch matched the signed paperwork. Use the shortcuts below to jump directly to the issue you need to review.

Common Florida Solar Problems

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

Solar problems do not always begin and end with the installer. The salesperson, dealer, lender, loan servicer, electric utility, equipment manufacturer, and installation contractor may all play different roles.

You Want to Cancel a Recently Signed Florida Solar Agreement

Florida has a solar-specific disclosure law for covered distributed-energy agreements. Among other requirements, covered agreements must notify the buyer or lessee of a right to rescind for at least three business days after signing. The law also has exemptions, so the agreement and transaction type must be checked before assuming the rule applies.

  • Find the signed agreement and separate disclosure statement
  • Identify the signing date and when copies were delivered
  • Save any cancellation email, text, letter, or other notice
Florida Statute 520.23Florida Statute 520.26 Exemptions

The Sales Pitch Does Not Match the Florida Disclosure Paperwork

For covered agreements, Florida requires a separate written disclosure that addresses costs, financing, savings assumptions, system design, warranties, roof and insurance issues, liens or UCC filings, transfer restrictions, and utility compensation for excess generation. A mismatch between that disclosure and the sales pitch is worth documenting.

  • Compare the proposal with the statutory disclosure
  • Identify savings, tax, utility-credit, and production assumptions
  • Preserve texts, emails, advertisements, and recorded representations
Florida Statute 520.23

Your Utility Bill Is Still High After Solar

Florida Rule 25-6.065 establishes interconnection and net-metering requirements for investor-owned utilities, but the account still needs to be reviewed against the serving utility, actual system production, household usage, and current bill treatment. Municipal utilities and cooperatives may use different programs.

  • Identify the serving utility and applicable program
  • Compare production records with utility bills
  • Separate grid purchases, exported energy, and fixed charges
Florida Rule 25-6.065

PACE or Property-Assessment Financing Is Creating a Problem

Florida has a separate statutory framework for qualifying-improvement financing tied to property assessments. Current law requires detailed financing disclosures and a three-business-day cancellation period, and the resulting non-ad valorem assessment can affect the property differently from an ordinary unsecured solar loan.

  • Identify whether the financing is a qualifying-improvement or PACE-style program
  • Get the financing agreement and disclosure
  • Review the property-tax bill, payoff, and any sale or refinance request
Florida Statute 163.081Florida Statute 163.086

Solar Is Complicating a Florida Home Sale or Refinance

A financed or third-party-owned system can create payoff, transfer, assumption, UCC, title, or lender questions. PACE-style financing can add a non-ad valorem assessment tied to the property. The actual filing and contract should be reviewed instead of assuming every solar financing arrangement works the same way.

  • Identify whether the system is owned, financed, or leased
  • Get payoff, transfer, or assumption instructions
  • Gather any UCC filing, property assessment, title, or lender request
Florida Statute 163.081Florida Statute 520.23

How It Works

Start With a Clear Review of Your Situation

You do not need to know the correct legal, financial, or utility terminology. Tell us what happened and provide the documents you have.

01

Tell Us What Happened

Start with the problem in plain language. You do not need to know whether it is mainly a Florida disclosure, cancellation, utility-billing, PACE, financing, contractor, or home-sale issue.

02

Match the Deal to the Florida Rules

We compare the sales proposal, signed solar agreement, separate disclosures, utility records, financing, PACE documents if any, contractor information, payments, production, and project timeline.

03

Identify the Practical Next Steps

The next step may involve the solar company, lender, utility, DBPR, Attorney General, PSC, program administrator, title company, tax professional, attorney, or another qualified professional depending on the facts.

Why Florida Solar Problems Are Different

Florida Has Solar-Specific Disclosure Rules, a Large Rooftop Market, and More Than One Financing Path

Florida solar disputes can involve several different documents that should not be blended together: the solar sales or lease agreement, the separate state disclosure, the financing agreement, the utility interconnection record, and any property-assessment financing paperwork.

For covered residential distributed-energy agreements, Chapter 520 requires unusually detailed disclosures about the economics and mechanics of the deal. That includes financing, estimated savings, system production, warranties, roof and insurance issues, liens or UCC filings, transfer restrictions, and utility compensation for exported energy.

Florida also has a separate statutory framework for qualifying-improvement financing attached through a non-ad valorem assessment. That means two homeowners who both say they have a "solar loan" may actually have very different legal and property consequences.

Start With the Electric Utility

Florida Solar Billing Depends on the Utility Serving the Home

Florida has a state net-metering and interconnection rule for investor-owned utilities, but account-level implementation still depends on the serving utility. Municipal utilities and electric cooperatives can have their own customer-facing programs and should be checked directly.

Investor-Owned Utility Customers

Florida Rule 25-6.065 requires investor-owned utilities to offer standard interconnection procedures and net metering for qualifying customer-owned renewable generation. A review should match the interconnection agreement, meter records, exported-energy treatment, and actual bills to the sales proposal.

Municipal Utility Customers

JEA, OUC, and other municipal utilities are not automatically governed in every detail by the same investor-owned utility tariff. The homeowner should use the local program and account records rather than assuming an FPL or Duke rule applies.

Electric Cooperative Customers

Florida electric cooperatives can also have utility-specific interconnection and compensation terms. The sales proposal should be checked against the cooperative that actually serves the property.

Why this matters:Florida review rule: do not use a generic "Florida net metering" promise as a substitute for the serving utility's actual tariff, interconnection agreement, and bills.

Florida Solar Disclosure Rules

Florida Requires Detailed Disclosures for Covered Distributed-Energy Agreements

Florida Statute 520.23 requires a separate written disclosure for covered sales or leases of distributed-energy generation systems. The disclosure is designed to put many of the issues that drive solar disputes in one place before the homeowner relies on the sales pitch.

Florida Statute 520.23Florida Statute 520.26 Exemptions

Costs and Financing Must Be Separated

The disclosure addresses total cost and payment information and tells buyers to read separate lender materials when the system is financed. The solar disclosure does not replace the financing agreement.

Savings and Utility Assumptions Matter

The disclosure framework addresses projected savings, system design assumptions, estimated energy production, and the status of utility compensation for excess generation at the time of signing. Those assumptions should be compared with the actual utility account.

Roof, Insurance, Liens, and Transfer Are Not Side Issues

Florida requires covered disclosures to address practical issues that often surface later, including roof work, insurance, liens or UCC filings, and conditions affecting transfer of the system or agreement.

The Law Has Exemptions

Chapter 520 does not apply to every transaction. Florida Statute 520.26 lists exemptions, including certain real-property transactions, third-party financing entities, nonresidential systems, some fully paid transactions, and installation-only parties. The transaction must be classified before relying on a specific protection.

For a Florida Disclosure or Sales-Pitch Problem, Review These Items

  • Separate Chapter 520 disclosure statement
  • Signed solar sale or lease agreement
  • Financing agreement and lender disclosures
  • Total project cost and payment schedule
  • Savings and utility-credit assumptions
  • System size and production estimate
  • Roof and insurance disclosures
  • Lien or UCC disclosure
  • Transfer or sale restrictions
  • Cancellation language and delivery instructions

PACE and Property Assessments

Florida Property-Assessment Financing Is Not the Same as an Ordinary Solar Loan

Florida allows qualifying improvements to residential property to be financed through programs that are repaid through a non-ad valorem assessment. Current law requires underwriting and detailed disclosures about the amount financed, annual assessment, term, interest, costs, and payment timing.

The financing disclosure must state that the agreement may be canceled within three business days after signing without a financial penalty. Florida law also provides circumstances in which a recorded financing agreement may be unenforceable or removed, including a timely cancellation within that period.

Because the assessment is connected to the property-tax collection process, it can surface during a sale, refinance, escrow review, or affordability problem in a way that an ordinary unsecured loan may not.

Florida Statute 163.081Florida Statute 163.086

For a Florida PACE or Qualifying-Improvement Financing Problem, Review These Items

  • Program administrator and financing agreement
  • Signed financing estimate and disclosure
  • Total amount financed and program fees
  • Annual non-ad valorem assessment
  • Interest rate and estimated APR
  • Three-business-day cancellation notice
  • Property-tax bills showing the assessment
  • Any payoff or prepayment request
  • Sale, refinance, escrow, or mortgage-lender communications

Net Metering and Utility Credits

Florida Net Metering Does Not Mean the Utility Bill Disappears

Florida Rule 25-6.065 provides a framework for interconnection and net metering of customer-owned renewable generation for investor-owned utilities. The purpose is to allow customer generation to offset consumption and establish treatment of excess generation.

A homeowner can still receive an electric bill because household consumption, fixed charges, periods of low production, utility rates, system size, equipment performance, and the timing of exported energy all affect the account. A salesperson saying "your electric bill will be gone" should be compared with the actual proposal and utility tariff.

For municipal utilities and electric cooperatives, the current local program should be reviewed directly. The statewide discussion should not be used to promise identical treatment in every Florida utility territory.

Florida Rule 25-6.065Florida Public Service Commission Consumer Assistance

For a Florida High-Bill or Net-Metering Problem, Review These Items

  • Serving electric utility
  • Interconnection agreement
  • Permission-to-operate date
  • Meter configuration
  • Monthly utility bills before and after solar
  • System monitoring and production records
  • Exported-energy credits
  • Fixed and non-energy charges
  • Sales proposal and savings estimate

Florida Consumer Protections

Florida Solar Protections Are Useful, but the Transaction Type Controls Which Rules Apply

Florida gives covered distributed-energy buyers and lessees detailed disclosure protections, but those protections should not be described as universal. The Chapter 520 exemption section matters when determining whether a particular sale, lease, financing arrangement, or installation falls within the statutory framework.

PACE-style qualifying-improvement financing is governed by a separate set of statutes with its own underwriting, disclosure, cancellation, assessment, and enforceability provisions. An ordinary lender-financed system should not be analyzed as if it were automatically PACE, and vice versa.

When a homeowner feels misled, the practical first step is to identify each party and each agreement: seller, installer, lender, third-party owner if any, program administrator if any, and electric utility.

Florida Statute 520.23Florida Statute 520.26 ExemptionsFlorida Statute 163.081

For a Florida Contract or Consumer-Protection Problem, Review These Items

  • Transaction type and system ownership
  • Seller and installer identities
  • Separate solar disclosure
  • Loan, lease, or financing agreement
  • Any PACE or qualifying-improvement documents
  • Cancellation language and dates
  • Savings and tax representations
  • Utility interconnection records
  • Lien, UCC, transfer, and home-sale terms

Florida Cancellation Rights

Florida Has Multiple Three-Business-Day Protections, but They Do Not Apply to Every Solar Transaction the Same Way

For covered agreements under Florida's distributed-energy disclosure law, the agreement must notify the buyer or lessee of a right to rescind for at least three business days after signing. Florida law also contains exemptions, so the transaction must be checked before assuming Chapter 520 applies.

For qualifying-improvement financing under Florida Statute 163.081, the financing disclosure must state that the property owner may cancel within three business days without financial penalty. That financing right is separate from the solar sales agreement.

Other contractual or consumer-law rights can depend on how and where the sale occurred, the financing structure, the parties involved, and the contract language. Homeowners should preserve proof of when and how they attempted to cancel.

Florida Statute 520.23Florida Statute 520.26 ExemptionsFlorida Statute 163.081Florida Statute 163.086

What to Look For

  • Date the solar agreement was signed
  • Date the separate disclosure was delivered
  • Whether Chapter 520 applies or an exemption is relevant
  • Date any financing agreement was signed
  • Whether the financing is a qualifying-improvement program
  • Cancellation notice language
  • Email and mailing instructions
  • Proof of cancellation delivery
  • Payments or work performed after cancellation
Do not assume one three-day rule solves every Florida solar dispute. Identify the agreement first, then match the cancellation rule to that agreement.

Contractor Licensing and Oversight

Florida Lets Homeowners Verify the Contractor Behind the Solar Installation

Florida law defines a certified solar contractor scope that includes photovoltaic systems. Other properly licensed contractors can also perform solar work when it falls within their authorized scope, so a homeowner should verify the actual license rather than assume the word "solar" must appear on every license.

The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation provides an online license-verification portal showing license type and status. That is useful when the salesperson, seller, and installer are different companies.

A licensing problem is separate from a lender dispute or utility-billing problem. The identity of the party responsible for the conduct matters.

Florida Statute 489.105Florida DBPR License Verification

A Florida Residential Solar Project Can Involve

  • Solar salesperson or marketing company
  • Solar seller or retailer
  • Certified solar contractor or other appropriately licensed installer
  • Electrical contractor or subcontractor
  • Finance company or loan servicer
  • Third-party system owner for a lease
  • PACE or qualifying-improvement program administrator
  • Electric utility
  • Florida DBPR
  • Florida Attorney General
  • Florida Public Service Commission for regulated utility issues
  • Title company or mortgage lender during a sale or refinance

These roles are often split across several companies. Keep the seller, installer, lender, program administrator, and utility separate when reviewing responsibility.

Loans and Financing

Florida Solar Financing Should Be Reviewed Separately From the Solar Sales Disclosure

Florida's solar disclosure statute explicitly warns that the solar disclosure does not contain the terms of the financing agreement and tells financed buyers to review lender disclosures. That distinction matters when a homeowner was sold one monthly-payment story but signed a separate loan with different terms.

The review should separate the cash price, amount financed, dealer or origination costs if any, payment schedule, interest, re-amortization assumptions, and any promise that a tax credit or utility savings would make the payment affordable.

If the financing is actually a qualifying-improvement assessment program, use the separate Florida PACE-style framework rather than treating it like a standard unsecured solar loan.

  • Cash price and total project cost
  • Amount financed
  • Interest rate and APR
  • Monthly payment schedule
  • Dealer fee or embedded financing cost if disclosed
  • Any early principal-payment assumption
  • Tax-credit assumptions
  • Utility-savings assumptions
  • Security interest or UCC filing
  • Whether financing is ordinary credit or a property-assessment program
Florida review rule: the solar contract, the statutory solar disclosure, and the financing agreement can be three different documents with three different jobs.
Florida Statute 520.23Florida Statute 163.081

Tax Credits and Tax Treatment

A 2026 Florida Solar Sale Should Not Assume the Former 30% Federal Homeowner Credit Still Applies

Current IRS guidance says the Residential Clean Energy Credit is not available for property placed in service after December 31, 2025. A 2026 Florida proposal that still uses the former 30% homeowner credit as an expected payment or guaranteed savings item should be preserved and compared with the actual installation timeline.

Florida separately exempts solar energy systems and components from the state sales tax under Section 212.08. Florida property-assessment law also provides that, for residential property, the just value attributable to a renewable energy source device is not considered in determining assessed value under the current statutory framework.

Those Florida tax rules do not revive the expired federal homeowner credit, and Solar Exit Florida does not determine individual tax liability. Homeowners should use a qualified tax professional for return-specific questions.

  • Installation and placed-in-service date
  • Written federal tax-credit representation
  • Loan payment or re-amortization assumption tied to the credit
  • Florida sales-tax treatment shown on the invoice
  • Property-assessment records if relevant
  • Any tax or incentive assignment in a lease or other agreement
State tax treatment and federal income-tax credits are separate. A Florida sales-tax or property-assessment benefit does not extend the former federal Section 25D homeowner credit into 2026.

Selling or Refinancing With Solar

Florida Home Sales Can Surface Solar Transfer, Payoff, UCC, and Property-Assessment Issues

A Florida title company, buyer, or mortgage lender may ask for payoff, transfer, assumption, ownership, lien, UCC, or assessment information when solar is attached to the property. A financed owned system, lease, and PACE-style assessment can create different requirements.

Florida's solar disclosure framework specifically contemplates lien or UCC and transfer information for covered agreements, which is a good reason to pull the original disclosure before a closing problem becomes urgent.

If a qualifying-improvement assessment is involved, gather the property-tax records and financing agreement in addition to the solar contract.

  • System ownership structure
  • Loan, lease, or other financing agreement
  • Transfer or assumption language
  • Payoff or buyout quote
  • UCC filing or termination request
  • PACE or non-ad valorem assessment records
  • Title-company request
  • Mortgage-lender or refinance request
  • Any third-party approval required for transfer
Florida Statute 520.23Florida Statute 163.081

If the Solar Company Closed

Company Closure Does Not Automatically Cancel a Florida Solar Loan, Lease, or Other Obligation

The company that sold or installed the system may not be the company that owns or services the financing. Equipment warranties, monitoring, utility interconnection, and loan servicing can also involve separate parties.

If the installer stopped responding or closed, gather every agreement and identify who currently owns or services each obligation before assuming the contract disappeared with the installer.

  • Solar seller and installer
  • Current loan servicer or system owner
  • Assignment or servicing notices
  • Equipment manufacturer warranties
  • Workmanship warranty
  • Monitoring access
  • Utility interconnection records
  • Open permits or inspections
  • Any pending repair or roof issue

Florida Solar Contract FAQs

Questions Florida Homeowners Are Asking

The answer often depends on the agreement, financing, timing, utility, project status, and specific facts.

Start My Free Review
Can I cancel a solar contract in Florida?

Sometimes. For covered distributed-energy agreements under Florida Statute 520.23, the agreement must notify the buyer or lessee of a right to rescind for at least three business days after signing. Section 520.26 contains exemptions, and other cancellation rules can depend on the transaction. Review the actual agreement and timing.

Florida Statute 520.23Florida Statute 520.26 Exemptions
Does Florida have net metering for residential solar?

Florida has an investor-owned utility interconnection and net-metering framework under Rule 25-6.065. Municipal utilities and electric cooperatives can have different implementation details, so the serving utility and current account records should be checked.

Florida Rule 25-6.065
What does Florida require a solar seller to disclose?

For covered agreements, Florida requires a separate written disclosure addressing many items including system and contractor information, cost and payments, financing context, savings assumptions, system production, warranties, roof and insurance issues, liens or UCC filings, transfer conditions, and utility compensation for excess generation.

Florida Statute 520.23
Is PACE financing the same as a solar loan in Florida?

No. Florida qualifying-improvement financing can be repaid through a non-ad valorem assessment tied to the property and has a separate statutory disclosure and cancellation framework. An ordinary solar loan should not automatically be treated as PACE.

Florida Statute 163.081
Can I still get the 30% federal homeowner solar credit for a Florida system placed in service in 2026?

Current IRS guidance says no. The Residential Clean Energy Credit is not available for property placed in service after December 31, 2025. If a 2026 Florida sale relied on the former 30% credit, preserve the sales materials and have a qualified tax professional address individual tax questions.

How do I verify a Florida solar contractor?

Florida DBPR provides an online license-verification system. Florida law also allows some other appropriately licensed contractors to perform solar work within their authorized scope, so verify the actual license type and status rather than relying only on the company name.
