Proposed regulations might show big changes.
For Florida residents who are on the fence about installing solar panels onto their home’s roof, now might be the time to fully make the commitment before things change. The state legislature has been heavily focused on amendments that shift the landscape of solar power, and if a proposed bill passes it could mark an important change.
Solar Energy Companies
There is a heated discussion right now about House Bill 1351, which would require solar energy companies to provide extensive reports to anyone looking to install solar. Among the details in the document, one stipulation notes that homeowners would have to be provided with an estimate of future utility costs as well as future savings with their new energy system.
Install Solar
While this sounds great for homeowners, it does make things more difficult for those in the solar industry. At the same time, the bill loosens the reigns on the requirements for selling or installing solar energy. Essentially, if the legislation passes, just about anyone can begin a solar company without needing to obtain any licensing.
How does this affect you as a homeowner? Time is of the essence. This bill could create major waves in the industry that make it harder to get quality and trustworthy companies to come out and install your system; it also could make consumers more susceptible to scams. If you’ve been pondering solar energy for your home, now’s the time.
