Florida Statute 366.91 allows investor-owned utilities to offer voluntary community-solar subscription programs, but bars third-party shared solar facilities. Miami residents subscribe through Florida Power and Light's SolarTogether rather than independent community arrays.
FS 366.91 designates renewable-energy generation by certain utilities and authorizes the SolarTogether tariff approved by the Public Service Commission. Florida Power and Light, Miami's electric provider, operates the program statewide, letting customers subscribe in 1 kW blocks paid as a monthly bill rider in exchange for solar credits. Independent community-solar developers cannot sell power to multiple subscribers because Florida law treats that as unauthorized retail electric service. The 2023 Tampa Electric and Duke programs parallel SolarTogether. Miami may host community-solar facilities on city land if leased to FPL, but cannot create a municipal aggregation program.
Selling solar power directly to neighbors triggers PSC enforcement under FS 366.04 with injunctions and fines up to $5,000 daily. Marketing fraud invites Florida Attorney General Deceptive Trade Practices action. No city penalty applies.
