What qualifies

What Solar Financing Does and Does Not Cover

Financing through Climate First Bank can cover solar panel systems, battery storage, and related equipment needed for the install. Ask your Coastal Energy specialist whether a specific scope item, such as a roof tear-off tied to a solar project, can be bundled into the same loan.

Financing is not intended for unrelated home improvement items like windows, doors, or water heaters that are not part of the solar or battery scope.

Incentives

Are There Still Tax Incentives for Solar in Florida?

Federal residential tax credits have expired. Depreciation may be available depending on your tax situation. Solar equipment sits in the MACRS five year property class, and 100% bonus depreciation in the first year is an option for owners who qualify. We partner with Solar ITC, a third party tax company, to review it with you, and your own CPA confirms what applies to your situation. We make no promise of eligibility or tax savings. See our solar depreciation page for the IRS requirements.

Florida still offers a sales tax exemption on solar equipment and a property tax exemption on the added value solar brings to your home, so those savings still apply regardless of how you pay.

Funding structure

How and When the Loan Funds

Climate First Bank funds residential solar loans in phases tied to project milestones, typically a portion at approved permitting and the remainder at completion once the system passes inspection. Ask your Coastal Energy specialist for the exact funding schedule for your project.
