Florida Power and Light lobbyists made it illegal to use solar during outages

Solar is here to stay! It’s only going to grow and get much more common, and also less expensive as it grows and competition expands and costs come down for components as they become more common and widely available worldwide. Many solar companies will go from being a seller (middleman) of panels to becoming brokers of dozens of companies as they realize the more they can offer, the less people will shop around.

Power companies can get pissed off as much as they want, but the fact is companies like FPL, especially after this Hurrican Irma disaster that just went through Florida will be getting left behind by irate customers at their lackluster performance and taking weeks to get power back on for the citizens of Florida. Even after their billions in subsidies and so on, they still took too long. It’s yet another reason for people to Go Solar in Florida or elsewhere in the U.S.
