The utility said it is reopening the application period for its 2011 solar rebate program, to hand out $5 million in remaining funds for homes or businesses that install solar panels.
FPL warned that funds will be available on a first come, first-served basis – and are expected to run out quickly.
FPL’s solar rebate program is designed to help reduce energy consumption and peak demand and is part of a pilot project approved by the Florida Public Service Commission.
The application process for the 2011 rebates first opened on Wednesday, June 29, and customers claimed reservations for the available solar PV funds in less than an hour.
The company is reallocating funding based on strong consumer demand for solar PV funding and less strong demand for residential solar water heating within the FPL service territory during the initial pilot period.
Rebates for solar water heating are still available, and interested customers do not need to wait until Aug. 30 to apply for those rebates.
“These incentives can help make investments in distributed renewable energy generation more affordable, and we are pleased that more of our customers will now be able to take advantage of the program this year,” said Marlene Santos, FPL’s vice president of customer service.
Customers who did not receive reservations in the first round can reapply as long as installation has not begun on their systems.
Florida Power & Light Company is the largest electric utility in Florida and one of the largest rate-regulated utilities in the United States.
The company serves 4.5 million customer accounts in Florida and is a leading employer in the state with approximately 10,000 employees.
