OUC · Duke

your utility sets the credit

Most Orlando homes are served by OUC or Duke Energy Florida, and each credits exported solar differently. Your bill shows which one serves you.

$0

sales & property tax

Florida exempts solar equipment from sales tax and excludes residential solar from assessed property value.

OUC changes its solar credits on November 1, 2026

OUC retires the solar bank on November 1, 2026: exports are credited to your account in the same month and leftover credit rolls over. OUC systems interconnected after June 30, 2025 earn its Community Solar Energy Rate through June 30, 2030 once the temporary full-retail grace period ends, then the Retail Levelized Fuel Rate; earlier systems keep the full retail rate through June 30, 2045. Duke Energy Florida follows the state net metering rule: exports offset next month's use and unused credits are paid once a year at the as-available energy rate. The federal 25D homeowner credit ended for systems completed after December 31, 2025; leases and PPAs can still benefit from the owner's credit, reflected in your price.

Orlando homes / What to plan for

Built for
Florida weather.

01

Roof first.

Panels last 25 years or more. If your roof is near the end of its life, replace it before installing solar. VOLT is a licensed Florida roofing contractor and can coordinate both.

02

Hurricane season.

Grid-tied solar shuts down in an outage. Add a battery such as Tesla Powerwall 3 to keep essential circuits running and recharge from the sun.

03

Permits and OUC or Duke.

We handle the building permit and the interconnection application with OUC or Duke Energy Florida. Systems up to 10 kW are Tier 1, with no application fee at either utility; OUC charges $340 for systems over 10 kW.

Before you begin

Good questions.
Clear answers.

How much do solar panels cost in Orlando in 2026?

Typical Orlando installations cost about $2.08 per watt before incentives in 2026, roughly $29,600 for a 14.3 kW system. Your price depends on roof type, system size, equipment and whether you add a battery.

How do OUC and Duke Energy Florida credit solar in Orlando?

It depends on your utility. From November 1, 2026, OUC credits exported solar to your account in the same billing month and rolls leftover credit forward; systems interconnected after June 30, 2025 earn OUC's Community Solar Energy Rate through June 30, 2030 once its temporary full-retail grace period ends. Duke Energy Florida follows Florida's net metering rule: exported energy offsets the next month's use, and unused credits are paid once a year at the as-available energy rate. We size the system to your actual use either way.

Is there still a federal tax credit for solar?

Not for homeowners who buy their system: the 25D credit ended for systems completed after December 31, 2025. Leased and PPA systems can still benefit from the business credit claimed by the owner, reflected in the price you pay.

Will solar keep my home powered during a hurricane outage?

Only with a battery and backup controls. Without storage, grid-tied solar shuts down when the grid goes down. A battery keeps selected circuits on and recharges from your panels.

Does VOLT have an office near Orlando?

Yes. Our Central Florida office is at 2121 S Hiawassee Rd, Suite 120, Orlando, FL 32835, serving Orlando and the surrounding area.
