Solar energy can help make Florida more resilient and protect vulnerable residents. Strong policies and investments in solar energy benefiting Florida families should include:

• Safeguard net metering to ensure homeowners and businesses are fairly paid for energy they generate to offset startup costs.

• Allow systems servicing universities, school districts, local governments and businesses to benefit from net metering, become resilience hubs and save taxpayer dollars.

• Establish statewide solar/renewable energy targets.

• Create a pathway to energy independence.
