What is the Average Cost of a Solar System in Tampa, FL?
Solar panels for commercial buildings as well as residential in Tampa, and solar panels in Orlando receive approximately the same number of sun-hours throughout any given day. Because of the light breeze from the Gulf of Mexico, St. Petersburg and Tampa's climate is slightly less humid than Orlando's.
This slight difference lowers the air conditioning load somewhat but doesn't substantially reduce the energy needs to operate run your home on hot and humid days.
Operating air conditioning is expensive. The cost of electricity in Tampa is about 14 cents per kilowatt-hour. The national average is approximately 13.5 cents per kilowatt-hour. A 2000 square-foot residential home in Tampa will typically require 4.3 kilowatts (kW) of power when the AC unit is on. Following this example, each hour of air conditioning usage would cost roughly $0.60.
4.3 kW X $0.14 per kilowatt-hour equals 0.60 cents per hour.
This price seems reasonable enough, especially when it is scorching hot outside. But calculate this into an entire month of continuous use, and the multiplied use can amount to substantial costs. After all, an 8-hours peak usage every day equals $4.80/day or about $146 per month! Add this amount to the average cost to power a home, and now we see why an average monthly electric bill in Tampa is approximately $190, according to recent studies.
Fortunately, a 10.2 kW system (roughly 28 solar panels in Tampa Bay) can offset approximately 90% of Tampa's average monthly utility bill. At an average market price of solar systems in Tampa, a 10.2 kW system would initially cost roughly $27,500.
Now let’s subtract the 26% Federal Tax Credit of $7,040, for which most homeowners are eligible.
In addition, other savings include not having to pay the sales tax in Florida and solar being exempt from the county tax assessment!
Add in the energy production, and the estimated savings over 30 years typically exceed $35,000!
Your estimated savings are just a phone call away. We will walk you through every step of the way to make the process as easy and seamless as possible. We offer no-money-down, low-interest financing programs for those that are interested in enjoying monthly savings without having to spend the money upfront (approval required).
Together we will evaluate your energy needs to determine the correct solar system size to meet your energy goals.
PPM uses the state-of-the-art process to evaluate all the aspects of your home, including the roof pitch and available space. We will work with you directly to assess your energy needs.
In the solar industry, installers will use the kilowatt system size (kW) as an estimated figure to determine the number of panels needed for your home. As part of the estimate, we look at solar panel options, energy backup system, mounting, and labor costs to provide accurate and fair pricing.
At times, some areas of the state are prone to grid electrical outages. As part of your assessment, we will also review the energy storage option. For Example, a Tesla Powerall adds peace of mind during inclement weather, ensuring essential devices and appliances are operable. It can also aid in self-consumption, reducing the Net-Metering needs. Tesla powerwall in Florida has become the go-option for Energy Storage Systems (ESS), along with other major ESS manufacturers (such as Enphase Encharge).
In rural areas of the state, small businesses, farms, and agriculture may be eligible for additional incentives and solar panels grants.

“Once we locked in an install date and all the permits, inspections, and banking was set up we were ready to have the system installed. We planned on a three-day install with the hope of only needing two. The crew that showed up was always on time and exceptionally professional. They were eager to explain to us what they were doing, always stopping work to answer any questions we had and making sure that their work area was cleaned up each day.”
