Solar Homes in Florida Hip, Hip, Hurray


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!
