Solar for business
Tesla Powerwall
As amazing and wonderful as solar power is, complete energy independence can be difficult to obtain without the assistance of a battery backup. This is mainly due to the fact that every system installed in Florida must be tied to the grid, meaning that when the grid goes down, so does your solar system. The Tesla Powerwall can detect an outage, disconnect from the grid, and automatically restore power to your home in a fraction of a second. You will not even notice that the power went out, keeping your home up and running without any interruption. Find out about pricing for Tesla Powerwall in Florida!

Biljana Horn2024-04-04One of our solar panels was not functioning. This happened a couple of years after the solar installation. We called PPM Solar - they diagnosed the problem virtually and then came and fixed it. All costs were covered through the warranty. We are extremely happy with our solar system which covers most of our energy use. I highly recommend it for people who have to run air conditioner in summer, like we do.
Philip2024-01-16It is a good company. highly recommended.
liz stubbs2024-01-11From start to finish the team at PPM Solar excelled in all aspects of the process and experience. As a first-time solar customer, I had lots of questions about the best setup for my specific needs. I am in the country where power outages can be more frequent and prolonged. I wanted a system that could also provide backup power during prolonged outages. From sales through final inspection, PPM Solar team understood my situation and goals, designed a fabulous solution and worked with me on timeframe so we could do panels first, then battery storage in a later phase. For every question I had, they were super helpful in getting me answers... they even encouraged my questions ???? Their install team was super professional and efficient. Their project coordinator was amazing, making my part of the process easy and efficient, and kept me informed every step of the way. At the final walkthrough, I appreciated all the expertise and recommendations they shared on my system's operation and best practices to keep the panels clean, etc. It is clear to me that this team is both expert in solar, but also they love solar. They bring that great energy to all their client interactions and are happy to educate us as we learn our new systems. I am thrilled they are my solar team! Exciting to be moving forward with them on battery storage. I am delighted to give them 5 stars on expertise, client relations and ease of the entire process. LOVE my system, and grateful to PPM Solar!
Jorge Milanes2023-12-27I can’t recommend PPM Solar enough for your solar panel needs. They were clear about how many panels were needed and where they would be the most efficient. They did the install along with adding a Tesla wall charger (which they are certified to do) all in one day. Their crew has clearly worked together for a good while as evidenced by how efficiently they worked together. Their entire staff from the installers to the electricians, production manager, administrative staff etc are all great and seem to really enjoy their work. They are a local company that has been working in the area and I would select them again and have recommended them to my friends.
Lyzzy Dismang2023-12-06PPM Solar was great. It took a little longer than expected but working with Gabby was easy and she kept me informed. We had some issues with the county and power company but it all got handled. Everyone I encountered was professional and friendly. The install went smooth, the panels look great and the app is easy to use. Now I am not worried about the power going off at any time.
Jeffrey Pitts2023-11-28PPM was able to correct the problem with our system and we have been back online ever since. Producing power again!!!
Arno Loeffler2023-11-19Our experience with PPM was great. Even when we went through a major design change they were exceptionally accommodating and just changed gears along with us without comment. From our first discussions, throughout the design and configuration process, installation, and post activation support, Alex and the team have been tremendous! Our system performs as expected and PPM’s estimates of solar power production are spot on. We are for all intents and purposes “off the grid” with our battery storage capabilities which is very important to us as it provides power for the well which supplies water for not only us, but especially our livestock! I highly recommend them without reservation.

What is the average cost of a solar system by size in Jacksonville, FL?
Roof pitch, electricity usage, personal/household needs, orientation, and more are all things considered when sizing a system for your home. Fortunately, you won’t have to worry about figuring out all the nitty-gritty details, for we have solar experts who can give you a free consultation and quote and answer all your solar-related questions.
The cost of a solar power system in Jacksonville, FL, can vary, but the savings are undoubtedly immense. Jacksonville is a fantastic solar resource, and many communities are suitable for solar due to the nature of their construction. Unfortunately, JEA currently does not offer a full-scale net metering program. But don’t let this discourage you from going solar, as they provide limited net metering options. To maximize your savings, we buffer it with self-consumption and energy storage. This way, you’re not relying as heavily on net metering, and you get more of a blended payback.
Tax Credit is Extended!
This is excellent news, as the federal solar incentive was previously scheduled to end in 2024. Consumers now have an additional TEN years to take advantage of this incredible tax credit program. Moreover, clients who install solar energy systems in 2022 will receive an increase from 26% to 30%, resulting in a significant bonus of $1,500 for an average solar client!
Currently, the federal solar incentive is set at 30%. However, it is scheduled to decrease in 2033 from 30% to 26% and further down to 22% in 2034. With incentives at their highest and inflation gradually affecting the prices of solar installations, there has never been a better time to go solar.
Benefits of installing a residential solar system in Jacksonville
Still, questioning whether or not you should go solar? Here are the top 3 reasons why we believe you should go solar in Jacksonville, FL:
Reduce and eliminate your utility bill
One of the most commonly cited reasons to go solar is to cut the cost of your electric bill. Imagine never having to worry about that pesky utility bill or its fluctuations. This utopia is attainable with solar.
Do the Earth a favor
Would you intentionally set your house on fire? Probably not. The Earth is our home. That is – until we figure out how to pick up and move to a different planet. But that might be a while, so we need to figure out how to live more sustainably and stop participating in practices that are severely harming our home. Solar is one step that a lot of people can take towards a more sustainable future.
Solar has never been cheaper
Yes, it’s true: the cost to go solar has never been lower! With prices and an LCOE (levelized cost of electricity) for solar that’s at an all-time low, plus the addition of federal tax incentives (and other potential grants that are available), you can drastically reduce the price you pay for solar. Shorter payback periods and happier bank accounts are a win-win in our book!

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I begin?
You begin by speaking with a reputable, highly reliable, and professional company. That company is PPM Solar! We will work with you through every phase of the process. From consultations to design to installation and maintenance. PPM is one of the most reviewed solar companies in the country. With a 12-year track record of dedication to customer satisfaction and over 750 projects performed, our work speaks for itself.
How do solar panels work?
The simple answer is that sunlight is absorbed through the panels to produce energy. An inverter in the system then converts that energy into useful electricity. That electricity is sent to the AC breaker panel, with any remaining energy “net-metered” to the grid.
What does the solar panel installation process look like?
After making your decision to go solar, you will to speak with a professional at PPM Solar. They’ll schedule an assessment of your property to determine the best solar system. Next comes designing your system! Then, it’s onto financing and permitting.
Once all of these things are completed, the installation will be scheduled. Prior to the installation, you should re-check the site selected for the panels. If you chose ground-mounted panels, double-check that there is nothing blocking the sunlight and that there is no debris in the area. If you opted for roof-mounted panels, the roof must be prepped. Check the shingles or tiles to make sure they are attached securely. Remove anything that might be attached to the roof that may be in the way of installation, such as a satellite dish. Also, check for trees that could cast shadows or overhanging limbs. They may need to be pruned prior to installation to ensure maximum energy output.
On the day of solar panel installation, there will be various types of noise. If you have small children who nap during the day or if you work from home, you may want to make different arrangements.
Once the installation is completed, there will be a final inspection and then activation of the system. Now, you are ready to reap all of the benefits going solar brings!
Is solar financing available?
Yes! Solar financing can be obtained several ways. There are conditions and requirements for each option. You can finance through PPM Solar. Secured and unsecured loans and second mortgages are other ways to find financing. Some Florida utility companies offer financing. Programs like the PACE program and Government Loans through the Federal Housing Administration are also available.
How long do solar panels last?
On average, the designed lifespan of your residential solar system is around 30 years. However, that’s not to say your system won’t work well beyond the recommended service life. In fact, there are some solar home energy systems installed over 40 years ago that are still producing power today.
How much can I save on my electric bill with a solar panel system?
Annually, you can expect to save around $1500 for a 6kW system.
Are there any solar incentives available for homeowners?
Yes! There is currently a 30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC). While there are no state rebates, several counties in Florida do offer rebates.
Does solar increase the value of my home?
In most cases, yes! Studies have shown different calculations for how a home can increase in value.
- Zillow- on average, homes with solar have sold for over 4% more than those without (depending on location, some could be more, some could be less)
- Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory indicates a resale value of just under $6k for each kilowatt of installed solar power; the more kilowatts there are, the more of an increase.
Appraisal Journal reports that for every $1 saved in energy costs, the home value increases by $20.
How do I prepare my home for solar electricity?
- Have your roof examined to ensure it will hold the load capacity of the panels and racks
- Make any repairs needed to the roof
- Remove any debris, satellite dishes, etc.
- Trim any trees that may overhang or shade the roof
- Check for proper insulation and repair any windows or doors that may have leaks, as this will decrease the optimum energy output provided by the system
- Check to make sure your appliances are energy-efficient
