Florida Statute 366.91 authorizes utility-run community solar subscriptions but bars third-party shared facilities. JEA, Jacksonville's municipal utility, offers SolarSmart letting customers subscribe to centrally located solar arrays in exchange for monthly bill credits.
FS 366.91 governs renewable-energy generation by certain Florida utilities and limits community solar to programs operated by regulated utilities. JEA, owned by the City of Jacksonville, operates the SolarSmart program approved through its board, letting residential customers subscribe in fixed kilowatt blocks paid as a monthly bill rider in exchange for solar credits applied against energy charges. Independent community-solar developers cannot sell power to multiple subscribers because Florida law treats that as unauthorized retail electric service. Subscriptions are typically capped and may have waitlists. Low-income customers may qualify for discounted blocks. JEA also operates utility-scale solar farms feeding the program through power-purchase agreements.
Selling solar power directly to neighbors triggers Public Service Commission enforcement under FS 366.04 with injunctions and daily fines. Marketing fraud invites Florida Attorney General action under the Deceptive Trade Practices Act. No city penalty applies.
