Port St. Lucie, with its sunny skies and coastal charm, is ideally positioned to embrace clean, resilient energy. Choosing solar power here goes beyond monthly savings—it’s a vital step toward sustainability, protection, and energy independence. At Blue Energy Electric, local industry veterans David Scherich and Michael Kerr lead the way, leveraging their deep expertise to help Florida residents and businesses go solar smarter.

Sunshine Power & Environmental Impact

Florida truly earns its “Sunshine State” title—boasting around 230 bright days per year, it's naturally primed for efficient solar energy generation. For homeowners in Port St. Lucie, solar panels turn that abundant sunlight into clean electricity, dramatically reducing reliance on fossil fuels and shrinking your carbon footprint.

Long-Term Savings & Property Value Growth

Electricity costs in Florida are among the highest in the nation—averaging over $170 per month. Solar in your home can nearly eliminate that bill, especially when paired with generous net metering policies that let you earn credits for excess energy sent back to the grid.

Over the lifecycle of your solar system, Floridians can save over $40,000 in electricity costs. Plus, solar adds significant resale value—homes gain around 4.1% in value, approximating a $16,000 increase in the average Florida home.

Solar Resilience in Hurricane Country

Port St. Lucie faces not just sweltering summers but also seasonal storms. Solar paired with battery backup storage offers critical resilience—keeping your power on even when the grid goes down.

Modern battery systems qualify for the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC)—now including battery storage in 2025. This means your investment not only cuts bills but also protects your home during hurricanes—without any added property tax.

Coastal Climate: Maintenance Made Manageable

Living by the coast can mean salt spray, humidity, and stronger storms. But solar systems are designed for durability. Panel cleaning and preventative maintenance—like inspections and corrosion checks—keep systems efficient and long-lasting.

These services ensure your setup stays strong, safe, and productive year-round.

30% federal ITC for solar and batteries.
Average solar shopper savings of $3,200+ through rebates and incentives.

Blue Energy Electric helps you navigate financing—maximizing your ROI and tapping into every available incentive.

In Palm Beach, St. Lucie, Martin, and Indian River counties, solar adoption is accelerating. Local homeowners see the value of energy independence, especially with utility challenges and storm-related outages.
