From FPL Net metering application page. "The system production is larger than your annual energy usage. The system size must be reduced prior to FPL approval."
I am being told by FPL that my project may not be approved unless I reduce the size of the array. I currently have a whopping 6ea. 330W panels and am looking to add another 6ea. 340W panels and an enphase 10T battery. In a nutshell they want the array to be smaller than 115% of annual kWh production. Link: https://www.fpl.com/clean-energy/net-metering/guidelines.html
Today I was contacted by an FPL representative. This individual attempted to talk me out of installing both solar and batteries for my property. I am now certain FPL is being hurt by rooftop solar and has no intention of helping its customers.
As the conversation progressed the topic of a minimum bill came up where I expressed I didn't like being charged for power I wasn't consuming, at which point, the representative said "well you could always disconnect". I couldn't believe her. She was goading me.
I, and many others, have posted many threads about going off grid. This isn't necessarily one of those threads. I will be proceeding with my system addition as planned as I already have a significant investment in the project. I don't think I'll have a problem getting it approved as my neighbor just had a whopping 44 panels installed on a single family residence(no EV, no Pool, heat pump hot water, three residents). That's appx. 25MWh a year...
Thanks for reading. I will be posting results when there is additional info.
