FLORIDA COMMERCIAL SOLAR · REGIONSouth Florida Commercial Solar ROI
For commercial properties across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, the strongest solar proposal begins with the utility account and the way the building operates. Build a preliminary scenario, then request a bill-based review designed around your property.
Wind design comes before panel count
Miami-Dade and Broward require particular attention to HVHZ requirements. Palm Beach is part of this service region but is not automatically in that code zone. Confirm the governing building code, design wind criteria and accepted attachment documentation with the local authority. Coastal corrosion, roof warranties and rooftop mechanical access also affect layout.
Hotel and refrigeration loads
Compare daytime cooling and refrigeration with production by hour. Keep emergency backup requirements separate from ordinary energy savings: an interconnected array alone does not establish outage capability.
What to provide for a useful review
Include the service address, utility name, tariff code, twelve months of bills when available, roof type and approximate roof area. Tell us whether the property is owner occupied, tenant occupied or under a management agreement. Local project screening considers hotels, refrigerated facilities and commercial campuses. Utility choices may include FPL and other local providers; confirm from the actual bill.
Compare the capital paths
Cash ownership, financing and a PPA allocate costs and benefits differently. Request separate cash-flow schedules rather than comparing a loan payment with gross bill savings. The owner of an eligible system may have tax benefits; a PPA customer does not claim the provider’s ownership credits.
Move from scenario to documented inputs
Use the regional estimator below, then send utility records through the secure bill workflow. We identify missing data before treating an estimate as a reviewed model. Site access, roof records and an authorized account representative help move the next step forward.

Utility and roof selections help route your review. Rates and roof suitability are not inferred from these selections.
View and edit scenario assumptions
Demonstration assumptions: 12 W per usable sq ft; 1.5% annual maintenance; 0.5% annual degradation; 2% annual energy/maintenance escalation. No applied credit, depreciation, demand reduction, replacement cost or export revenue. A reviewed report must include project-specific replacements and tax timing.

Model assumptions & honest limits
- Illustrative cash-ownership model; not a tariff simulation or engineering proposal.
- All cost, yield and escalation defaults are demonstration assumptions, not sourced market quotes.
- Fixed charges, financing, property-tax savings and storage are excluded.
- Net operating savings are reduced by the entered effective tax rate; tax capacity and deductibility require review.
- Annual usage inferred from assumed energy-only share of spend; replace with bills.
- Export value is zero until applicable utility terms are confirmed.
- Tax benefits are zero until a project-specific schedule is confirmed.
Tax benefits start at zero pending project review. This estimate is not a quote, tariff simulation or guaranteed return.
Questions about this review
Do you have an office in South Florida?
This page describes a geographic service-interest area. See the contact page for verified business and partner details; no branch office is implied.
Will solar eliminate demand charges?
No reduction is guaranteed. Demand charges require tariff and interval-data analysis; storage requires a dispatch study.
