JEA offers a Solar Concierge Program to provide you with the resources and information you need to make a fully informed decision before purchasing and installing a rooftop solar PV system. We also want to help you avoid potential issues, such as overstated payback or misleading claims about potential energy savings.
There are several factors to consider before installing a Solar PV System on your home’s rooftop. When making your decision, be sure to evaluate the following:
In Jacksonville, optimal conditions for rooftop solar panels include homes that are southern-facing and free from shade created by trees, buildings, or even other parts of your home. Your installer’s estimate should indicate how much energy your specific system is expected to produce and the economic value of that energy.
If you are considering mounting solar panels to your roof, be sure it will hold up as long as the panels, which are designed to last more than 20 years. Removing and reattaching solar panels from a rooftop can be expensive. Make any needed roof repairs prior to purchasing a solar PV system. Another factor to consider is the size of your roof. While a solar PV system can be sized to fit both the roof space available and your budget, it may not satisfy all your home’s energy needs.
Use NREL’s free PVWatts® Calculator to estimate the potential energy production and performance of a solar PV system for your home or business.(This website contains links to third-party external websites.

Connection to the Grid
Your solar contractor is responsible for following the interconnection process with JEA. This includes JEA installing a two-way meter that interconnects you to JEA’s electric grid. This meter enables you to receive power from JEA when needed and allows you to send back excess energy your system produces to the grid for photovoltaic (PV) credits. At the end of your billing period, your credits will help reduce the energy portion of your JEA bill.
