Miami is one of Florida's largest solar markets, with thousands of homeowners signing agreements to offset their FPL bills. Florida's 2023 HB 741 net metering changes, combined with Miami's unique challenges — hurricane risk, high humidity, and salt air corrosion — have left many Miami homeowners with solar agreements that do not deliver the promised savings. Florida's consumer protection laws provide strong remedies.
Thousands of homeowners across Miami signed solar contracts after being promised dramatic savings — only to find themselves locked into agreements with escalating payments, underperforming systems, and no clear exit. If you are one of them, you have legal options.
Miami homeowners are protected by Florida's FDUTPA and the Florida Home Solicitation Sales Act. FDUTPA provides strong remedies for deceptive sales practices. Florida courts have applied FDUTPA to solar contract disputes involving misrepresented savings projections and undisclosed net metering changes. The Florida AG has taken enforcement action against solar companies for deceptive practices in the Miami market specifically.
Miami's solar market was built on FPL's net metering program, which provided generous credits for excess solar production. Florida's HB 741 changes in 2023 reduced those credits significantly. Miami's unique environmental challenges — hurricane risk, salt air, high humidity — also affect solar system performance and warranty coverage in ways that were rarely disclosed during the sales process.
