About

The City of Dunedin currently offers residents and business owners within the City limits to receive a rebate for installing solar panels. This program aligns with the City's clean energy goals and sustainability commitments.

  • The City currently has a program where you can apply for a rebate for installing solar.
  • The grant is at a rate of $0.25 per watt of solar power generated for a maximum grant of $2,500.
  • Applicants must be a City of Dunedin resident or business (unincorporated addresses are not eligible).
  • Solar permits must be applied for, issued, inspected and completed on or after October 1 2018.
  • This grant will be awarded on a first come, first serve basis – as funds are available. Annual total funding determined in each fiscal year’s budget.

Did you know? The typical household spends about $2,150 a year on residential energy bills. Green homes typically use 30% - 60% less energy than a non-green home. Read more in our Sustainability & Solar Incentives Brochure.

Testimonials

Tom M.

  • We love it! Our electric bill is just a service fee every month and we get a small amount of money back for credit at the end of the year. We appreciate the rebate program.
  • We have a total of 24 panels and the system is 8.16kW. We over produce our needs. The system produces around 11.5 megawatts per year and our house uses around 10.5 megawatts.

  • I had Sunrun install the rooftop solar system. It was rated about 7.5kW and is generating about 70% of our electricity as planned.
  • They were able to get the system installed and operating smoothly thanks to promt support from Dunedin staff and Duke Energy technicians.
