Hold on,
there is a catch.
There is
always a catch in Florida.
Solar your
home in Florida,
You still
have to pay the Power Companies!
Not only
that,
You stand
a very good chance of losing your home!
You're
'Florida Republican Government' and your power companies joined
(it is
un-clear if money was exchanged)
:-)
To make
sure that you never "Get Off Their Grid!"
Moreover,
save all of that money that you are forced to give to your power companies!
AGAIN!

LEESBURG,
Fla. —
There are
big dreams for some in Florida that with all the sunshine, you could power your
home with solar panels and live off the grid.
A man in
Leesburg has been doing it for years, generating more electricity from the sun
than what he uses.
Unfortunately,
for him, it is illegal.
Last year,
the state mandated that all residents must be hooked up to a utility and water
company.
Channel 9
anchor Jamie Holmes takes a look at the little-known law that’s preventing
Florida residents from unplugging from utility companies and how some are
fighting back.

Are Big
Power Companies Pulling a Fast One on Florida Voters?
Utilities
are backing a ballot measure they claim is pro-solar. Environmentalists say
it's anything but.

Florida
woman forced to use city utilities instead of private solar panels, rainwater
A Cape
Coral, Florida woman living “off the grid” was ordered last week by a
magistrate to hook up to utilities to comply with city codes or risk eviction
from her home.
The proof
that it works is in the Pudding, so to speak.
Does
Solar really work?
See
for yourself?
One
year with solar energy at home: Mostly sunny!
