Solar Panel Installation in Jacksonville, FL

SunVena Solar installs solar panels and home batteries in Jacksonville and across Duval, St. Johns and Clay counties using its own in-house crews, never subcontractors. The company was founded in 2019, has completed more than 20,000 solar and battery installations in Florida, and holds a 4.9 out of 5 Google rating from more than 2,000 reviews. Its solar work is performed under Florida certified electrical contractor license EC13009447.

The cost depends on your home’s energy use, your roof’s size and shading, the equipment you choose and whether you add a battery. Because JEA credits exported solar at a fuel rate, a well-designed Jacksonville system is sized to use as much of its own production as possible, which affects both the price and the savings. A SunVena Solar Advisor will give you a free, no-obligation quote based on your actual JEA or FPL bills.

Not at the full retail rate for new solar customers. Since April 2018, JEA has credited energy that new systems send to the grid at its avoided fuel cost, 3.25 cents per kWh as of August 2026, instead of the retail price you pay for power, under its Distributed Generation policy. Systems interconnected before April 2018 keep their legacy net metering terms. Because exports are worth less, Jacksonville homeowners save the most by using their solar power at home, often with a battery. See how Florida utilities credit solar.

For many JEA customers, yes. A battery stores daytime solar production for the evening, so energy that would otherwise be exported at JEA’s fuel rate offsets power you would buy at the retail price, and it keeps essential circuits running during outages. JEA also offers a battery incentive that can offset part of the cost. Your Solar Advisor will compare solar-only and solar-plus-battery designs for your home.

No. Florida law (Fla. Stat. 163.04) prevents homeowners associations and deed restrictions from prohibiting solar panels. An HOA can have a say in where roof panels are placed, but not in a way that impairs how well the system works. SunVena helps prepare HOA submittals as part of the permitting process.

No. Under Fla. Stat. 193.624, any increase in your home’s value from a residential solar energy system may not be counted when your property is assessed, so installing solar does not raise your property taxes in Duval, St. Johns or Clay County.

No. Florida exempts solar energy systems and their components from state sales and use tax under Fla. Stat. 212.08(7)(hh). The exemption covers the parts of a solar energy system, including panels, inverters and mounting hardware.

Not for a new home solar system installed in 2026. The 30% federal Residential Clean Energy Credit applied to systems installed from 2022 through December 31, 2025, and per the IRS it is not available for property placed in service after that date. If your system was installed by the end of 2025 and the credit exceeded the tax you owed, you can carry the unused amount forward to future tax years. Leased systems can still carry federal savings under Section 48E if they are installed and operating by December 31, 2027. Tax situations vary, so confirm eligibility with a tax professional.

Look for a company with a track record of installations in your area, strong customer reviews, industry certifications, its own installation crews and a warranty of at least 20 years covering products, labor and production. Ask for customer references and compare written proposals before you decide. SunVena is happy to provide references from Northeast Florida customers.
