Our solar panels are probably the best investment we ever made. Year to year our electric bill averages out to zero, even with charging our EV. Over the summer our batteries participate in our electric utilities virtual power plant program, which pays us around $2000 each year for the excess electricity we provide. And our state has a renewable energy program that pays us for every megawatt our panels generate, no matter what it’s used for.
You are lucky…in Florida , FPL actively fights residents installing solar and have insurance companies refusing to give windstorm insurance if panels are installed…which is not an option if you have a mortgage.

Fuck FPL
Could you install them on land instead of the roof?
You’re lucky to have any land to speak of in most Florida city homes. Lucky for a few yards of grass between homes if lucky.
There is not enough full sun yard at least for my place.
