Making solar energy more accessible across Florida
Our Florida sun is what makes the Sunshine State such a beautiful place to live, work and play. We are committed to keeping it that way by advancing the use of solar energy in Florida. The FPL SolarNow® program has helped bring solar energy projects into local communities. From solar parking canopies and walkways to solar trees, these innovative structures provide shade and use our state’s own sunshine to generate emissions-free energy to power the grid and benefit everyone.
How FPL SolarNow Works
For $9 per month, or about 30 cents a day, you can join other customers supporting the sustainment of solar energy in local communities and inspire future generations to learn about the benefits of solar. Here's how it works:
- When you enroll in the FPL SolarNow program, $9 will be added to your monthly FPL bill.
- Funds will go toward the operation and maintenance of solar energy projects in local public areas, such as parks, zoos, schools and museums.
- FPL will operate and maintain these solar projects.
- Clean, renewable energy generated from these projects is fed to the energy grid and benefits the entire community.
