The Cool Down
Florida homeowners are adopting rooftop solar and battery systems to address risks from hurricane-related outages and rising electricity demand. Residential electricity consumption accounts for 54% of the state's usage, and with natural gas generating 75% of its power, grid vulnerabilities remain a concern. Florida ranked third in solar generation nationwide in 2025, but the growing frequency of severe weather is driving demand for backup battery storage.
The U.S. electricity demand is projected to rise significantly in the coming years, further straining the grid. For Florida residents, long power outages disrupt essential services like refrigeration and medical equipment, making energy resilience a priority.
Why this matters to you: The surge in solar adoption directly impacts your SolarTogether program. Expanding battery storage options could strengthen your position as a trusted provider of reliable energy solutions during outages.
