Florida solar incentives in 2026: what's still available

The incentive landscape shifted at the start of 2026, so here's an honest, current picture of what Florida homeowners and businesses can still take advantage of.

Florida's state-level exemptions (everyone)

Florida exempts solar equipment from state sales tax, which trims the up-front cost of a system. The state also has a property-tax exemption for the added home value from solar — so going solar raises what your home is worth without raising your property-tax bill. Both apply to homeowners and businesses.

The federal picture

The federal residential solar tax credit ended at the start of 2026. The federal commercial solar tax credit (the 30% ITC) is still available through the end of 2026, and businesses can also use MACRS accelerated depreciation on top of it. If you own a business, the math is still very strong — you can estimate it with the calculator on our commercial solar page.

What this means for you

For homeowners, the case for solar in Florida is now driven by the state exemptions plus the long-term savings on your electric bill — especially when paired with battery backup. For businesses, 2026 is a window where the federal incentives still meaningfully cut the net cost.
