Project notes

About the project

This Coral Springs install is a 2025 build — designed and permitted under the latest FPL interconnection rules and the most recent Broward County code cycle. Sprightful designed a 52-panel, 21.8 kW array using REC's premium 420-watt Pure 2 modules, paired with two Tesla Powerwall 3 units for 27 kWh of usable whole-home backup.

The Pure 2 series is REC's current flagship — all-black aesthetics, a 25-year product and performance warranty, and a degradation curve that still guarantees 92% output at year 25. On the backup side, the two-Powerwall configuration was sized to cover the whole home without load-shedding through a typical South Florida overnight outage. Commissioning completed in August 2025 after a brief electrical rework to swap in the correct 35-amp breaker — a last-mile detail that's why you want a licensed in-house crew handling the whole job, not a subcontractor.

Why it matters

A 30-year financial and environmental decision.

These aren't projections pulled from thin air. FRCC eGRID emissions data, current FPL residential tariff, and modeled production under South Florida irradiance (~1,500 kWh/kW/yr).

Good-faith estimates using FRCC eGRID emissions data, current FPL tariff, and Aurora-modeled production. Actual results vary with shading, weather, and future rate changes.

“They are simply wonderful. Courteous people with very quick response time. Highly recommend for solar system and backup batteries! Last note — just got my August solar bill for 3,800 square foot home — $53.00!!! Thank you Sprightful Solar and the Florida sun!!!!”

FAQ

Solar in Coral Springs, FL.

How long does the solar permit process take in Coral Springs?

Coral Springs took 41 days from submittal to approval on this project. Typical range we've seen is 2–8 weeks depending on whether the roof assembly requires a secondary wind-load review.

What size solar system is typical for a Coral Springs home?

Most Coral Springs homeowners land between 8–16 kW — sized to offset 90–100% of their FPL bill. This project is 21.8 kW, on the larger end.

Does my HOA need to approve it?

Florida's Solar Rights Act (§163.04) prevents HOAs from outright banning rooftop solar. They can make reasonable aesthetic requests — we handle the HOA submittal directly and have a 100% approval rate to date.

What rebates and incentives are available in Broward County?

The 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is the primary incentive — Florida has no state-level solar rebate. There's also no property tax increase for the added home value (Florida exemption), and no sales tax on the equipment.
