No — Florida had not introduced a plug-in solar bill as of October 14, 2026. Bright Saver's tracker says systems sit in a legal gray area and utilities may require interconnection review, permits and fees.

442 kWh used at home × 15.30¢ = $67.62; 270 kWh sent to the grid unpaid, 0 kWh lost to the inverter limit. At Florida's average rate (EIA).
Residential average, January to July 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly).
Open the calculatorFlorida has no plug-in solar statute: no bill had been introduced as of October 14, 2026, according to the Bright Saver tracker. The tracker states "Currently unregulated—no legislation introduced yet."
Because there is no state law, Bright Saver says utilities can require interconnection review, permits and fees. The tracker also notes there are no explicit statutory protections for renters or homeowners associations; those matters are not addressed in state law.
You can use systems that do not connect to the grid, such as a portable power station charged by solar panels, or pursue rooftop solar through the normal permitting and installer process. Bright Saver notes plug-in kits are designed for renters and are portable, but also reports it does not yet ship to Florida because legislation has not been passed.
To see what a small grid-connected kit would produce, the calculator gives numbers for an 800 W kit: vertical, south facing it produces 712 kWh in a typical year; tilted at 30° it produces 1,247 kWh. With a home base load of 164 W the calculator shows 442 kWh (62%) used at home, 270 kWh exported, and on-site use is worth $68 a year at 15.3 cents per kWh.
If you want a system that never ties to the grid, a consumer portable power station sized to your needs can be recharged by panels. For rooftop and grid-connected options, get local installer quotes and follow any utility interconnection requirements.
The state has not set rules; Bright Saver says utilities can require interconnection review, permits and fees. A utility could therefore treat a grid-connected kit like any other interconnection unless a future law changes that.
There are no explicit statutory protections for renters in Florida according to Bright Saver. Kits are designed to be portable, but lease terms, building rules or utility requirements may still apply.
The calculator gives two examples: vertical, south-facing 800 W → 712 kWh/year (on-site use worth $68/year); 30° tilt, south → 1,247 kWh/year (on-site use worth $86/year). These use Florida's 15.3 cents per kWh average.
Florida has no plug-in solar statute that sets product rules. Bright Saver lists product-safety certification as a common goal in laws passed elsewhere, but Florida had not adopted such a law as of October 14, 2026.
