Check what applies to your home
Three facts decide whether a standard residential comparison applies: ownership, bill size, and roof condition. Check what is true for your home and we will tell you the next step.
The Cost of Waiting
Every Month You Wait,
FPL Keeps the Difference
FPL has raised rates 7 times in the last decade. The average Palm Beach County homeowner paying $150–$220/month in electricity is on track to pay FPL tens of thousands of dollars over the next 10 years. A solar comparison shows how much of that spend can go toward a system you own.

Illustrative Comparison
What Your FPL Bill Looks Like
Before vs. After Solar
| Monthly item | Before solar | After solar |
|---|---|---|
| Utility bill | $220 | ~$40 |
| Solar loan payment | — | ~$150 |
| Total monthly energy cost | $220 | ~$190 |
| Monthly savings | ~$30 · ~$360 per year | |
The saving is the reduction in total energy cost, not the drop in the utility bill. Paying cash removes the monthly payment but increases the upfront amount; a prepaid lease moves most of the cost to day one. Each structure is shown side by side in your proposal, with its own assumptions.
| Structure | Upfront | Monthly | What changes at year 10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash purchase | Full system cost | $0 payment | No payment; utility bill stays reduced |
| Solar loan | Often $0 down | Fixed loan payment | Loan term may end; payment stops |
| Prepaid lease | Most of the cost | $0 or low | Lease term ends; transfer terms apply |
| Lease / PPA | Usually $0 | Per-kWh or escalator | Escalator and buyout terms apply |
What Decides Your Numbers
Four Things That Decide
What Solar Saves
For Your Home
Savings are property-specific. These four factors drive your numbers — and Florida's sales- and property-tax exemptions for solar remain in place for 2026.
01
Your bill, before and after
The comparison starts with your actual electric usage: what the system is projected to produce, what remains on your monthly bill, and how the two add up.
02
Equipment and roof work
Panel and inverter tiers, attachments for your roof type, and who warranties what — listed in the proposal so offers can be compared like for like.
03
Financing structure
Cash, $0 down loan, prepaid lease (no credit check, no lien), PACE, or lease/PPA — compared on total cost over the term, not just the monthly payment.
04
Roof and timeline
Roof condition, tile or shingle specifics, the permitting path for your city or county, and a schedule the partner confirms before work begins.
Why Compare First
Palm Beach Solar vs. The Alternatives
An independent advisor compares multiple partners. A traditional company quotes its own product line. A directory lists names. Here's the difference that matters when you compare offers.
| Palm Beach Solar (independent advisor) | Traditional solar company | Installer directory | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Options compared | Multiple vetted partners; equipment and financing compared side by side | Typically one company's products and financing | Varies by platform |
| Who does the work | Licensed installation/service partners under their own contracts | Their own or subcontracted crews | The listed installer |
| Cost to you | Free comparison; no obligation | Through their sales process | Varies |
The Process
From First Comparison
to System Activation
Your installer handles the process — from local permits to utility interconnection. Recent projects have averaged about 60 days from signed contract to activation; your partner confirms the schedule.
01
Free Solar Comparison
Share your property details and electric use. An advisor follows up to clarify your roof, usage and goals, then discusses the information needed for a proposal. No obligation.
02
Custom System Design
Your installation partner designs a system sized for your home's usage, roof orientation, and shading — not a one-size-fits-all package. You receive a detailed proposal with equipment specs and projected output.
03
Permit & Installation
For eligible residential rooftop projects in unincorporated Palm Beach County, your installer may use SolarAPP+ to streamline permitting. Your partner confirms the proposed schedule for your property.
04
Activate & Monitor
Where your utility offers net metering, activation follows that utility's current rules — FPL for most addresses, or the utility serving your area. Your partner provides monitoring access so you can track production. Ongoing support terms are detailed in the partner contract.

“What impressed me most was their transparency. Before signing anything, they gave me a full breakdown of costs, expected savings, and even worst-case scenarios. That level of honesty made it easier to trust them. The installation itself was quicker than I expected, and the technicians were clearly experienced. They didn’t just install and leave—they walked me through how to monitor the system and what to check occasionally. It’s been a few billing cycles now, and I can already see the difference. It’s not just about saving money, it also feels good knowing I’m using cleaner energy.”

“Thinking of doing solar? Garrett is your guy!! He made the whole process so easy: from meeting Garrett to enjoying our solar panels, everything was done in less than 2 weeks. He took the time to explain the whole process to us AND answered additional questions after we had already signed the paperwork. He was with us every step of the way and our panels were installed in less than a day. I got solar to help mother nature, my husband got solar to help our energy bill: whatever your reason is to get solar you will be happy you went with this company!”

“I rarely write reviews, but felt compelled to give this company a well-deserved shoutout. I had been hearing about the benefits of solar for years, but kept holding off because I wasn’t sure if the numbers would really shakeout as a net positive in the long run. Garrett and his team, took me through the process step-by-step, provided analytical projections, and in the end it all went exactly as planned. Thank you, Palm Beach Solar.”

Common Questions
Everything You Need to Know About Solar in South Florida & the Treasure Coast
Still have questions? Our local advisors are here to help — no sales pressure, just honest answers.
Call (786) 570-7135Actual savings depend on your system size, roof characteristics, FPL rate plan, and energy usage. FPL's net metering program credits excess monthly production at the retail rate; unused annual credits at the year-end true-up are paid at the average generation cost, not the retail rate. FPL also generally limits system sizing to less than 115% of annual consumption. Your Palm Beach Solar proposal will include a site-specific savings estimate and 25-year production model based on your actual FPL bills.
