Florida home solar by county (2025 data)

Brevard, Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach each had more than 10,000 customer-owned solar systems on FPL's grid at the end of 2025, by our count of FPL's report to the Public Service Commission. These counts cover FPL customers only; Duke Energy Florida and Tampa Electric customers aren't included.

Broward led 2025, with 1,622 new systems, ahead of Miami-Dade (1,568) and Brevard (1,518). In all, 14,112 FPL systems in our count were connected in 2025.

Capacity is the panels' DC rating. Counties served mostly by Duke Energy Florida, Tampa Electric, city utilities or co-ops show few or no FPL systems even where solar is common.

Bigger than many people expect. The median FPL system connected in 2025 was 10.7 kW DC in our count, and about 35% were large enough to fall into Tier 2 net metering, above 10 kW AC. South Florida systems ran larger: the median new system was about 12.1 kW in Miami-Dade and 11.8 kW in Broward, against 9.6 kW in Brevard.

FPL connections peaked in 2022 and 2023 by this count. Treat the trend with care: the report lists systems still connected at the end of 2025, so older years may be missing systems that were later removed, and the count is FPL only. Forecasts point the other way for 2026: BloombergNEF projects Florida home solar to grow in 2026 even after the federal tax credit ended. See Florida solar statistics.

Duke's 2025 report is a scanned list of 97,364 customer-owned systems with a county for each, so we read it page by page. Orange County leads with about 26,140 systems on Duke's lines, more than any single county on FPL's, followed by Pinellas and Polk. Polk added about 1,920 systems in 2025, second only to Orange.

These are Duke customers only: Orange County homes on the Orlando Utilities Commission, and Lake, Sumter and Marion homes on co-ops, aren't counted. Tampa Electric's 2025 report has no county column; it lists 32,516 systems in total. Together with FPL's 124,467, Florida's three big investor-owned utilities had more than 254,000 customer-owned systems at the end of 2025.

• FPL's 2025 interconnection and net metering report to the Public Service Commission lists each customer-owned renewable system with its county, DC rating, AC rating and interconnection date.
• Duke Energy Florida's 2025 report is a 1,840-page scan. We read every page with text recognition and counted 97,359 dated rows against Duke's stated total of 97,364, so Duke figures are rounded to the nearest 10. A few dozen rows name a city instead of a county or Duke counties with only a handful of systems; those are left out of the table.
• We counted the 124,449 rows listed as solar; 18 wind and biomass systems are left out. FPL lists Miami-Dade County as Dade.
• Year counts use each system's interconnection date, and the median sizes use the DC rating of systems connected in 2025.
• We treated systems above 10 kW AC (FPL's AC rating) as Tier 2.
