What’s specific about solar in Talon Bay

Talon Bay solar FAQ
Are Talon Bay homes pre-wired for solar?
Most newer Florida homes have 200A main service and a slot in the panel for a solar breaker, but the actual conduit run from the roof to the panel typically still needs to be installed. The good news is that the conduit pathway is usually straightforward in Talon Bay homes built after 2014.
How long does a solar installation take in Talon Bay?
The on-roof work is typically 1 to 3 days. The full process from contract signing to receiving Permission to Operate from FPL is 6 to 14 weeks depending on permit office backlog and utility interconnection queue.
What size system do most Talon Bay homes need?
Most single-family homes in Talon Bay need between 8 kW and 14 kW of solar to offset their full FPL bill. We size based on your last 12 months of FPL usage history, not on home square footage.
