Florida Energy Incentives
Federal and state programs for solar, battery, EV, and efficiency upgrades.
Key Programs
Some local programs encourage hardening + backup; check your county and utility resources.
Federal Incentives
Deduct 30% of the total cost of your solar energy system from your federal income taxes. Includes panels, inverters, racking, wiring, installation labor, and permitting.
Standalone battery storage systems of 3 kWh or larger qualify for the 30% federal tax credit, even without solar. Added by the Inflation Reduction Act.
Tax credit for purchasing a new qualifying electric vehicle. Amount depends on battery sourcing and manufacturing requirements.
30% credit on qualified heat pump costs, up to $2,000 per year. Can be claimed annually (not a one-time credit).
30% credit on insulation, windows, doors, and energy audits. Annual limit of $1,200 (separate from the $2,000 heat pump limit).
State Programs
Florida exempts the full value of solar energy systems from property tax. Also exempt from sales tax on solar equipment.
Solar energy systems are exempt from Florida's 6% sales tax. On a $25,000 system, this saves approximately $1,500.
