Amendment 4 - How Can you Help

For Florida residents, the passing of Amendment 4 was a huge step forward on the path to utilizing solar energy. The bill, which allows tax breaks for businesses installing solar panels onto their rooftops, received an overwhelming amount of support; some numbers tabulate its approval was well over 70%. But what does that mean for each and every person who lives in the Sunshine State? Here are a few ways Amendment 4 will impact you as a consumer.

If you’re a Florida business owner, the repercussions of Amendment 4 benefit you directly. You can make the switch to a renewable energy source and get a tax incentive to boot. Legislation that encourages such changes might even make it easier or more desirable for your next door neighbor to open up the business they’ve been dreaming about.

As a consumer, the positive support for solar energy means several things. You can feel more proud as a Floridian when you shop at a location that utilizes clean energy measures. It’s a good bet that a lot of places making the switch are locally owned, and so not only are you supporting solar, but you are supporting your local economy when shopping at these establishments.

The landslide of support that came with Amendment 4 continues to promote the growth of solar power in the state of Florida. If you are enthused about getting involved, now is the time! Take action by writing to your local representatives, or even make the switch to solar energy in your own home. The stage is set for Florida to see a massive influx in the use of solar energy; now is the time for you to join the movement!
