South Florida residents can enjoy a reduction of 30% on their battery and solar installation

Blue Energy Electric is pleased to share that South Florida residents can still enjoy significant savings on their solar installation. While the 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit was eliminated for residential installations effective January 1, 2026, Florida continues to offer outstanding state-level incentives including a 100% property tax exemption on solar energy systems, a 6% sales tax exemption on solar equipment and installation, and net metering credits from your utility.

The Inflation Reduction Act originally extended the tax credit through 2034, but the Big Beautiful Bill signed into law in 2025 eliminated the residential solar tax credit effective January 1, 2026. The 30% ITC remains available only for commercial solar installations.

Save Thousands of Dollars on Solar Installation with Florida Incentives!

South Florida solar users still enjoy thousands of dollars in savings. For example, on a $30,000 installation, the Florida sales tax exemption saves $1,800 upfront, and the property tax exemption protects the added home value for the life of the system. Combined with net metering credits and protection from rising electricity rates, solar remains an excellent financial decision.

A Victory for the Solar Industry

The announcement is a surprise victory for the solar renewable energy industry. The reconciliation bill will provide $370 billion in spending on 'renewable energy and climate measures.

The Inflation Reduction will also significantly impact fighting the climate crisis. Estimations suggest that by 2030 it should reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. to 40% lower than in 2005.

Florida Solar Incentives Include:

• 100% property tax exemption - your solar system increases home value without increasing property taxes.For example, $10,000 Federal Tax Credits = A $10,000 on the owner's income tax bill.

• 6% sales tax exemption - no Florida sales tax on solar equipment or installation.
