About Solar in Tampa
Tampa is one of the best cities in the United States for solar energy. With 261 sunny days per year and temperatures ranging from 52°F to 90°F, Tampa homeowners generate more than enough electricity to power their homes and sell the surplus back to the grid.
The City of Tampa is a US Department of Energy SolSmart Bronze recipient, meaning it has streamlined its building codes and permitting process to make solar installation faster and more affordable. Tampa is also actively adding solar arrays to city-owned properties as part of its transition to renewable energy.
