JEA solar and battery rules for homeowners

JEA: solar and battery rules

What are JEA's rules for home solar and batteries?

JEA is a municipal utility owned by the City of Jacksonville. Florida PSC Rule 25-6.065 governs investor-owned utilities, so it does not set JEA’s terms. JEA runs its own interconnection and net-metering programme, and its sizing limits, credit treatment and programme capacity can differ from the investor-owned utilities elsewhere in Florida. Check JEA’s current programme terms before sizing a system in Jacksonville.

Common questions

Does JEA pay me for excess solar?

JEA sets its own terms for exported energy, and they can differ from the investor-owned utilities. Check the current programme directly rather than assuming statewide treatment.

How large a system can I install on JEA?

JEA sets its own sizing limits. Confirm them before designing a system, because they may differ from the 115% test that applies to investor-owned utility customers.

Is my address definitely served by JEA?

Check your bill. Florida service territories do not follow city limits, and an address near a boundary can be served by a different utility — which changes both the net-metering terms and the interconnection process.
