FPL Solar & Net Metering

FPL net metering policies for solar customers. Learn how solar credits work, interconnection requirements, and current net metering rates.

Net Metering Policy

FPL's net metering program credits solar customers for excess electricity sent back to the grid. The credit rate and rollover policies vary — some utilities credit at the full retail rate, while others use a lower avoided-cost rate. Check FPL's current net metering tariff for your specific credit rate.

Interconnection Process

Before installing solar panels, you must apply for interconnection with FPL. This involves submitting your system design for approval, passing inspection after installation, and receiving permission to operate. The process typically takes 2-8 weeks depending on your utility and local permitting requirements.

Maximizing Solar Savings

Size your solar system to offset 80-100% of your annual usage for maximum savings. If FPL offers time-of-use rates, solar can be especially valuable during peak afternoon hours when both solar production and electricity prices are highest. Battery storage can further optimize your savings by storing excess solar for evening use.
