Shining Bright: The Rise of Solar Electric in Ft. Myers

by | Sep 1, 2025 | Solar panel

As homeowners and businesses seek sustainable, cost-effective energy solutions, solar power is lighting the way. Here’s why solar energy is thriving in Florida and how you can tap into its benefits.

Why Solar Energy is Perfect for Florida

  1. Abundant Sunshine
    With over 230 sunny days annually, Florida is a solar powerhouse. Cities like Naples, Fort Myers and Sarasota receive ample sunlight, making solar panels highly efficient and the perfect choice for generating electricity year-round.

 2. Cost Savings
Solar energy significantly reduces electricity bills. With Florida’s constantly rising utility rates, switching to solar locks in predictable energy costs. Homeowners can immediately reduce or eliminate electricity bills, and are insulated from ALL future price increases by electric providers.

 3. Incentives and Rebate

The federal solar tax credit (IRS Form 5695) allows you to deduct 30% of installation costs through 2032. Local utilities may provide additional rebates, easing the upfront investment.
