🤔 Ever wondered if switching to FPL's Time of Use (TOU) rate could actually lower your electric bill? ⚡️ With solar, without solar, with batteries, without... it depends entirely on YOUR home. 🏠
So we built a tool to model it. 🛠️ This is geek mode on steroids. 🤓📊
Here's the thing: most "TOU will save you a fortune" math online runs on averages and cherry-picked rate numbers. 🚫🔢 But averages can't tell you the one thing that matters on a time-of-use plan: WHEN you actually use your power. ⏰
Got an Enphase Energy system? 🔌 Or any source with a full year of hourly consumption data? 📅 Plug in your ACTUAL usage and see the real answer for your house. 🎯 Both FPL rate plans, side by side. ⚖️
And we won't sugarcoat it. 🙅♂️ Honest hint 👉 Time of Use doesn't work out for a LOT of people. Batteries can tip the math your way 🔋, but there's always a risk you end up paying MORE than the standard residential rate. ⚠️💸
Way better to find that out with real data before you lock into a 12-month enrollment. ✅

We installed this solar energy system on a new off-grid home on Cayo Costa. We chose Enphase Energy microinverters for the house solar panels because we had 15 different orientations and two different pitches. This would not work well with a string inverter, but microinverters capture maximum energy based on their individual orientation. The microinverters are AC-coupled with a hybrid inverter system with a larger DC-coupled array with a single orientation and no shading potential.
This system is designed to cover 100% of the property's needs with no generator for redundancy!
Installed with a 3-rail system from IronRidge, the solar panels are there to stay under any conditions.
