FPL solar calculator
Size solar from a Florida Power & Light bill: panels, cost, payback and a priced parts cart.
Florida Power & Light serves a large part of Florida, where the average home uses 1,104 kWh a month (EIA, 2024 residential average). Upload your FPL bill as a PDF above, or enter the numbers by hand, and the tool sizes a system to your real use instead of the state average.
What the tool takes from your bill
Usage in kWh and billing days matter most. FPL bills show a usage history, so you can often supply many months at once. A longer history gives a better yearly estimate than a single month. Read the full walk-through in how to read your FPL bill.
A Florida worked example
The Florida average of 13,248 kWh a year at 14.1 cents per kWh (EIA 2024, as of 2026-11) sizes to 9.1 kWdc and 23 panels, an installed estimate of $22,672 and yearly savings of about $1,868. These are statewide averages, not FPL tariff rates; your bill's own rate replaces them when the tool can read it.
Incentives and net metering
The 30% federal tax credit ended for homeowner purchases after December 31, 2025. FPL runs its own net metering and interconnection application, which you complete before turning a system on. Confirm current terms with FPL, since credit rules and fees can change.
Planning estimate. Permits, interconnection approval and a licensed electrician are required for grid-tied systems.
Questions
Can the calculator read an FPL bill?
It reads text-based PDF bills in your browser and pulls out usage, billing days and the energy rate when it can. If it cannot, enter kWh and days by hand.
Does FPL offer net metering?
FPL has a net metering program for customers with their own solar. Terms change, so confirm the current credit rules and application steps with FPL before you buy.
Is the 30% federal tax credit available?
The 30% federal tax credit ended for homeowner purchases after December 31, 2025. See the tax credit guide for what still applies.
Which number on the bill matters most?
Your kWh used, over a full year if you can. Dollars move with fuel and fee changes, but kWh is what a solar system offsets.
