Power in Bradenton

How FPL treats batteries and solar

Most of Manatee County gets its power from Florida Power & Light. Under Florida's net metering rule, extra power your solar panels send to FPL is credited on the next month's bill, and the credits carry forward for up to 12 months.

A battery on its own doesn't earn that credit. FPL's guidelines say stand-alone batteries aren't net metered, so the bill savings come from the panels and the backup comes from the battery. That's the main reason to pair the two.

A battery can cover the whole house, AC included, or just the essentials like the fridge, lights and Wi-Fi. The difference is the size of the system, and we work it out from your electric bill.

Questions

Bradenton battery and solar questions

Do you work in Bradenton?

Yes, all over Bradenton and West Bradenton, plus Palmetto, Ellenton and the island towns.

Does FPL give bill credits for a battery?

Not for a battery on its own. FPL's guidelines say stand-alone batteries aren't net metered. Solar panels earn the credit for the extra power they send to the grid.

Can a battery run my central AC?

It can if the system is sized for it. AC is the biggest load in most Florida homes, so we size the battery around whether you want it covered.
