FPL SolarNow™ Program Overview
FPL SolarNow™ is a community-supported solar program designed to provide customers with an easy way to help move solar energy forward in Florida FPL SolarNow™ Program Overview Customers volunteer to support the program through an on bill contribution FPL installs, operates, and maintains the projects at no cost to the host Host sites provide the space/location for the project Solar energy built in local communities FPL’s SolarNow program allows customers to voluntarily contribute $9 per month on top of their normal bill to support solar in their communities. Funds go toward the construction of solar energy projects in local public areas, such as parks, zoos, schools and museums. We try and focus on locations that are frequently visited – so the people who are contributing see their impact FPL will install, operate, and maintain these solar projects. Clean, renewable energy generated from these assets is fed to the grid and benefits the entire community. Host locations are an integral part of the program’s success
