Frequently asked questions
How much do solar panels cost in West Palm Beach? A typical 8–13 kW West Palm Beach residential system runs $25,000–$40,000 installed; a Tesla Powerwall 3 adds roughly $15,000–$17,000. The federal residential clean-energy credit (Section 25D) expired for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025. Florida still exempts solar and battery equipment from sales tax (F.S. 212.08(7)(hh)) and excludes the added home value from property-tax assessment (F.S. 193.624). Exact pricing comes from a per-roof design and production model, which Goldin Solar provides free.
What does FPL pay for solar in West Palm Beach? FPL credits exports at the retail rate month-to-month under PSC Rule 25-6.065; year-end excess is paid at the avoided-cost rate. Tier 1 (≤10 kW) is the standard residential bracket. Full program terms: goldinsolar.com/fpl-net-metering/.
Does Palm Beach County require special wind ratings for solar? Palm Beach County enforces Florida Building Code 2023 wind loads — up to 170 mph 3-second-gust design on coastal and barrier-island addresses and 150–160 mph inland. All Goldin West Palm Beach installs use racking and modules engineered to those values.
Can solar offset the high cooling load of a West Palm Beach home? Yes. West Palm Beach averages roughly 242 sunny days per year. We commonly size 10–14 kW systems with high-efficiency modules (REC Alpha, Maxeon) to offset 90–110% of a household’s annual usage — and we model production for your specific roof before quoting, so the offset target is verified per home.
How long does it take to install solar in West Palm Beach? Site survey to permission-to-operate typically runs 8–12 weeks: 1–2 weeks design, 2–4 weeks Palm Beach County ePZB permit, 1–3 days install, 2–4 weeks FPL interconnection.
