Florida Net-Metering Program
Florida now allows approved clean-energy utilities to supply your home using the same FPL grid you’re already on. That means your FPL bill is replaced with a new utility bill that is typically about 30% lower if your home qualifies. It’s not a discount on your old bill — it’s a new, lower bill under the state program.
For years FPL was the only option. This program finally gives homeowners a real choice while keeping the same grid and reliability.
Why Florida Expanded This
Electricity use is climbing — more people, more tech, EVs, AI data centers, and even crypto. Net-Metering helps strengthen the grid by letting homes make clean power during the day, while FPL continues to run the poles, wires, and outage response.
How It Works
- You stay on the same FPL grid — same reliability and outage support.
- An approved utility partner provides and maintains the equipment.
- A digital meter counts power you use and extra power you send back.
- Those exports earn credits that reduce what you owe — part of why the new bill is typically lower.
Step-by-Step
- Home Review: We check roof sunlight, meter, and usage.
- Utility Approval: Engineers confirm the home fits program rules.
- Installation: Equipment is installed and connected to your panel.
- Go Live: The meter tracks usage & exports; your new (lower) bill starts.
Who Does What
- FPL: Runs the grid and handles reliability/outages.
- LightReach Palmetto: Program utility that owns, insures, and maintains equipment.
- Soligo Power: Licensed installer for site checks, setup, and service.
Who Can Qualify
- Active FPL account with a digital bi-directional meter.
- Roof in good condition with steady sunlight.
- Main electrical panel suitable for the connection.
- Owner (or written permission) and good payment history.
- Area open for enrollment with utility engineering approval.

Am I changing power companies?
No. You still use the FPL grid. Your old FPL bill is replaced with a new utility bill that’s typically about 30% lower if you qualify.
Why a new digital meter?
It measures both what you use and what you send back. The extra you send back earns credits that lower what you owe.
Roof or insurance issues?
The roof area under equipment is covered under warranty. Equipment is insured and maintained by the program utility.
Moving later?
You can transfer to a qualifying buyer or have it removed per program terms.
