07.24.13 Dollar per Watt

 

For nearly 60 years, $1/watt solar panel installations have been the holy grail of the renewable energy industry.  The US Department of Energy (not to mention thousands of solar companies around the globe) has invested billions over decades to reach this milestone.

 

Imagine having a 5kW solar-enabled rooftop for only $5,000.  With prices like that, you can begin measuring solar panel payback periods in months.

 

 

 

Florida to Become World’s First $1/Watt Solar Panel Market

Florida residents no longer have to “imagine” the impossible.  Low cost solar installation services are now a reality thanks to 3 important converging factors:

 

1.  Falling Solar Panel Prices

Solar panel prices have dropped worldwide.  In the past 5 years alone, costs have plummeted by more than 80% thanks to rising global demand for solar energy.  What was once an expensive, fringe technology is now within easy financial reach of millions of Americans.

 

2.  FPL Solar Rebate

Florida Power & Light (FPL) is soon launching its much-anticipated solar rebate – an incredible incentive in which homeowners receive $2/watt for new systems (up to and including 10kW).  This is essentially free money – for simply installing a new solar PV system.

 

3.  Florida Solar One Contracting Services

At Florida Solar One, we’re able to offer low cost solar installation services for as little as $3/watt.  In and of itself – this is an unbelievable offer.  But when combined with the FPL rebate, this means that our customers receive their installations for $1/watt.

 

Falling prices, aggressive incentives, and expert engineering have helped to make Florida solar installations more affordable than ever before.  But 2 important things to keep in mind:

 

  1. The FPL rebate won’t be around forever.  Like most solar incentives, it was designed to help jumpstart the industry.  Once Florida reaches a critical mass of solar installations, the FPL rebate will expire.

 

  1. Florida Solar One only has so much bandwidth.  We provide our low cost solar installation services on a first-come-first-served basis. 

 

What this means is that if you’ve been on the fence about installing solar panels on your rooftop, now is the time to act.  Electricity prices will only keep going up – while energy created from the sun remains consistently free.

 

You don’t need to commit to a system right now, but you should definitely begin exploring your solar installation options. 

 

Fortunately, we make that both easy and free.
