Florida Needs Us Now!

Today is March 9, 2022.

Every week I get an email from Powur. It's always packed with updates and helpful information and exciting news. But sometimes there is news that isn't so exciting. I received this update a few days ago on the 7th of March.
I gave it a couple of days to think about how I wanted to approach this topic, and help spread the news.

So here’s the update on the Solar situation in Florida, (Sourced from Powur's weekly update):

After weeks of attempting to convince the Florida Legislature to oppose the net metering bill, both the House and Senate approved the bill that would make major changes to many rules for rooftop solar energy. Unfortunately, this could cripple the solar industry, reducing financial incentives for homeowners to install rooftop systems.

While there is a stay until January 1, 2024, after that - this bill will begin reducing the net metering rate homeowners and business owners get paid; this ends up giving customers 75% of energy credit in 2024, dropping to 60% in 2026, and down to 50% in 2027. Customers who own or lease solar panels and use public utilities have until 2029 to lock in a net metering rate for the next 20 years.

What’s the next step? This bill is heading to the governor’s desk and we want it to be vetoed!

Call or email Gov. DeSantis’ office with a CLEAR message - VETO this harmful bill!
Visit Florida’s Solar Energy Industry Association website to access their toolkit - a comprehensive resource that gives you social media graphics and additional information on this fight - https://www.flaseia.org/toolkit/.

More than 40,000 people are employed by the solar industry in Florida, from knowledge-based services and government roles to wholesale trade and construction jobs. Now their jobs are on the line. Currently, Florida is ranked as the 4th largest rooftop solar industry in the U.S., powering nearly 800,000 Florida homes. We need you to take a stand and support sustainable energy solutions and the policies that make it possible! Look out for more updates from us as we fight, fight, fight!

I took a few parts out because they were more directed to the sellers in the field. But I do love how Jonathan Budd, Founder of Powur gets supper churched and passionate about our mission!

Listen, Friends;

Consumers do have a chance! Customers will have about 18 more months to get their contracts signed before the new rules kick in - so if you own a home in Florida, book a call with me, Dave Brown, independent Powur consultant, or any other consultant/ambassador. to see what your options are. Solar doesn't make sense to every home, but we can sit down and see if it can for your home. Many thousands of homeowners are already reaping the benefits. Don't lose out before then!

Here is a list of a few other Independent consultants, and or ambassadors whom I recommend.
