No pressure, no gimmicks, no hidden fees.
Installed residential solar cost in South Florida
Planning ranges at $2.60 to $3.10 per watt installed, before incentives. Roof type, mounting, main-panel work, trenching, and battery storage move the number; a written quote follows the partner's property review. Ranges, not a quote.
| System size | Installed cost range |
|---|---|
| 6 kW (small home, low usage) | $15,600 to $18,600 |
| 8 kW (typical South Florida home) | $20,800 to $24,800 |
| 10 kW (larger home, EV or pool) | $26,000 to $31,000 |
| 12 kW (high usage or planned load) | $31,200 to $37,200 |
- Per-watt pricing is the cleanest way to compare proposals: divide the gross price by the system's DC wattage.
- Tile roofs, steep or limited access, main-panel upgrades, trenching, structural work, and battery storage are quoted separately.
- Palm Beach Solar is an independent advisor. The installation contract, price, and workmanship warranty belong to the licensed partner.

What Sets Us Apart
Tile Roof Specialists
Most Palm Beach County homes have tile roofs. We only work with installers who specialize in tile roof solar — proper flashing, no voided manufacturer warranties.
Tier-1 Panel Brands
Systems we coordinate use Tier-1 panels from active manufacturers such as Qcells and REC, plus comparable brands. We avoid off-brand equipment that degrades faster or lacks warranty support.
Certified Installation Partners
Our licensed installation partners hold current manufacturer certifications, including Tesla Certified Installer status for battery storage and SolarEdge certification for inverters. The partner performs the certified work under its own license.
Purchase Options Compared
Cash purchase, prepaid lease, $0 down solar loans, PACE financing (payments on your property tax bill), and lease/PPA options — compared side by side, subject to eligibility. Many owners prefer cash or prepaid structures to avoid long-term payment obligations.
FPL Net Metering
Your system connects to the FPL grid and earns bill credits for excess production. We size your system to maximize net metering benefit under current FPL terms.
Florida Tax Exemptions
Florida exempts solar equipment from sales tax (FL Statute 212.08(7)(hh)) and prevents property tax increases from your system's added value (FL Statute 193.624).

Frequently Asked Questions
Installed residential solar in South Florida runs about $2.60 to $3.10 per watt before incentives, so a typical 8 kW system lands roughly $20,800 to $24,800. Roof type and mounting drive most of the spread: tile roofs need tile-safe attachments and more labor, flat roofs use ballasted or tilted racking, and metal roofs use clamped mounts. Main-panel upgrades, trenching, and battery storage are quoted separately. Ask for the per-watt price and a written scope on every proposal.; treat these as planning ranges, not a quote.
