Coastal Homes Between the Indian River and the Atlantic

The Space Coast spans Brevard County from the Indian River Lagoon to the Atlantic, with Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Satellite Beach, Melbourne and Palm Bay making up the bulk of the housing stock. Roofs here face salt spray, higher design wind speeds and occasional launch related access restrictions, all of which factor into how we engineer and schedule a project.

Housing stock

What We See From Cocoa Beach to Cape Canaveral

Beachside Bungalows

Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral have older, lower slope roofs that often need structural review before solar can be mounted.

Riverfront Homes

Properties along the Indian River Lagoon tend to have larger AC loads and pool equipment, which pushes typical system size higher.

Newer Inland Subdivisions

Melbourne, Palm Bay and Viera homes on concrete tile or shingle roofs generally offer simpler rooflines, though we still replace shingle with metal or tile when we reroof for solar.

Wind and salt

Brevard County Coastal Requirements

Space Coast installs sit in a higher wind exposure band than inland Central Florida, and salt air affects hardware selection.

Ultimate design wind speed: 160 mph; Coastal Brevard County per Florida Building Code
Product approval: Florida product approval or Miami-Dade NOA; Required for racking, flashing and fasteners
Corrosion protection: Stainless and marine grade hardware; Standard near the Atlantic and Indian River Lagoon
Flood zone review: AE / VE zones common beachside; Affects inverter and battery placement

FPL Interconnection on the Space Coast

Florida Power & Light serves the Space Coast under standard FPL net metering rules, crediting excess solar production at the retail rate. We pull your actual FPL usage history before sizing the array, then file the interconnection application after the local inspection passes and coordinate the meter exchange.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Coastal Energy office covers the Space Coast?

Space Coast work is run out of our Miami office at 7927 NW 67th St, Miami FL 33166. The same crew that designs the system pulls the Brevard County or local city permit and performs the install.

Can you replace my Space Coast roof and install solar in one project?

Yes. We hold Florida roofing license CCC1335978 and electrical license EC13013993, so a metal or tile reroof and the solar install run under one contract. We do not install shingle roofs.

Is salt air a concern for Space Coast solar hardware?

Yes. We use stainless and marine grade hardware as standard near the Atlantic and Indian River Lagoon to handle salt spray exposure.

Do you install solar in Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral?

Yes. Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Satellite Beach, Melbourne, Palm Bay and the surrounding Brevard County area are all part of our Space Coast service area.

Does FPL offer net metering on the Space Coast?

Yes. FPL credits excess solar production at the retail rate under Florida's standard net metering rules, and we file the interconnection application after local inspection.

What wind speed does a Space Coast solar install need to meet?

Coastal Brevard County typically requires a 160 mph ultimate design wind speed under the Florida Building Code, with product approval documentation on racking and fasteners.

How long does permitting take in Brevard County?

Brevard County building department review times vary by workload, but coastal wind and flood zone checks can add a few days compared to inland jurisdictions.

How far is the Space Coast from Coastal Energy's offices?

About two and a half hours from our Miami office via Florida's Turnpike and I-95. We schedule east coast work in coordinated trips.
