Solar energy is becoming the go-to solution for Tampa homeowners looking to lower their energy bills and contribute to a cleaner, greener future. With Tampa’s unique climate offering about 244 sunny days a year, it’s the perfect city for homeowners harness solar power. At Affordable Solar, Roof & Air, we specialize in high-quality solar panel installations designed to maximize efficiency and savings.
Solar panels provide protection against the rising costs of electricity in Florida. Tampa Electric Company (TECO), which serves over 800,000 customers in the Tampa Bay area, recently implemented rate increases, with a potential 12.6% increase on the way. If approved, “starting in January 2025, the average user would pay almost $20 more a month for the same amount of energy used today. That number creeps closer to $30 more a month by 2027″. This, combined with Florida’s trend of rising electricity prices, which have increased on average 51% in the past five years, means homeowners are seeing higher energy costs each year. By switching to solar, homeowners can lock in stable energy costs and shield themselves from the volatility of future utility rate hikes.
At Affordable Solar Roof & Air, we’re committed to making solar accessible for all homeowners by offering various financing solutions. If you’re looking for a no-money-down installation and low monthly payments, our team has partnered with leading solar financiers to provide you with the best choices.

Switching to solar energy can have a significant environmental impact. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator, installing a solar panel system that offsets approximately 100 metric tons of carbon dioxide over 25 years is equivalent to planting over 1,600 trees or avoiding the emissions from driving a passenger vehicle for 250,000 miles. For eco-conscious homeowners in Tampa, this makes solar energy an effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also providing substantial financial savings!
Homeowners in the Greater Tampa Bay Area can take advantage of numerous solar incentives, including the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which offers a 30% tax credit on the total cost of your solar installation. Additionally, Florida’s Net Metering Program allows you to sell excess solar energy back to the grid, further reducing your monthly utility costs. While some states don’t offer net metering, Florida’s program gives solar owners the advantage of generating extra savings, making it an even more attractive investment. Florida also has a Property Tax Exclusion for Renewable Energy Property, which means the value added to your home from solar panels is exempt from property tax increases. These incentives are designed not only to save Floridians money but also to promote the adoption of renewable energy, which stabilizes our power grid and reduces strain during peak usage times, benefiting both homeowners and the environment. For more detailed information on these credits, rebates, and incentives, be sure to check out our Florida Solar webpage, where we dive deeper into how you can take full advantage of the benefits available to you.

Got a great deal bundling our new roof, AC, and solar system. Top company if you’re in the market for all in one. I met with three companies to compare, Bismarck and Affordable got my business because they were willing to give me the best price. They have always been excellent at responding to my messages & expedited my projects whenever possible.
installed paired to an Enphase Inverter. Affordable had the best price of companies that I met with & their representative Angel was the most professional/ had my best interest in mind. I’m a big fan of the Enphase app because it allows me to see the breakdown of both my production and consumption along with when the energy goes back to the grid. Happy to support a Florida based company.
We are out of town most of the year but saw the benefits of using the sunny weather to save some money. Tesla keeps an eye on the system for us while we’re away to make sure everything is working properly. Affordable Solar was the best third party company that did Tesla systems. Got us online in 1.5 months.
