Your Electric Bill Has a Drinking Problem. Here's What We Talked About Today.

A short recap of our conversation, the numbers behind it, and what to expect next — all in one place you can come back to.

Take a few minutes to go through this with your spouse before we sit down.

From Bentley

Hey — appreciate you taking a few minutes with me today. It's not every day someone knocks on your door talking about solar, so thanks for actually hearing me out instead of pretending you weren't home.

There's been some bad actors in this industry over the years — the kind that give the rest of us a bad name. It's made a simple thing, cheaper electricity, feel more complicated than it should be. My promise: I treat every home like I'd want mine treated. No pressure, no fine print games, and definitely no showing up in a bad mood.

Electricity should be affordable. This isn't supposed to take food off your table — it's supposed to put more back on it.

Take a look below whenever you've got a minute. If anything raises a question, write it down for when we sit down — I'd rather you grill me than sit there wondering.

Quick Recap
A short message from Bentley confirming what we covered today and what to expect next.

Why This Matters Now

$8B
FPL rate increase already approved
~$290
Added per year to the average bill by 2029
+82%
TECO's increase vs. 5 years ago — it's not just FPL
If You're an LCEC Customer

LCEC doesn't generate its own power — it buys electricity wholesale from FPL. So when FPL's costs go up, LCEC's rates go up too — often by more, since they have to resell and mark it up.

LCEC's Net Metering Program →

What This Actually Means For Your Bill

This is a simple bill swap. Nothing more.

If your roof is producing all the power your home uses, what's left for FPL to charge you? Nothing — because they're not supplying your power anymore, we are.

That expensive FPL bill, the one that keeps climbing every year at a rate you can't predict or control? We bring it down to $0. Then it's replaced with one bill — a lower, fixed one that doesn't move on you.

No second bill stacked on top. No surprise charges. Just one bill, swapped for a cheaper one.

Who Does What

Most homes now have the new digital bi-directional meter — it's what sends your extra power back to the grid and brings credits back to you. Here's who handles what:
FPL / LCEC
  • Continues to operate and maintain the electrical grid
  • Handles outage response and service reliability
  • Reviews and approves the application — that decision is theirs, not ours
Clean Energy Provider (Utility Provider)
  • Supplies your home with power at a lower monthly rate
  • Owns, insures, and maintains the equipment
Lunex Power (Installation Partner)
  • Does the homework: site assessment, system design, and the application
  • Performs the installation and ongoing support
  • Works on behalf of the clean energy provider under the Net Metering Program
We're not affiliated with FPL or LCEC, and we don't decide who gets approved — that's the utility's call. We work under the Net Metering Program, which the state requires utilities to offer. Our job is the application: making sure it's accurate and gives your home the best shot.

Meet John (Not His Real Name, But a Very Real Bill)

John's like most homeowners. When he first moved in, his bill was manageable. Over time, it crept up — then jumped. Now he's sitting around $250 a month and hearing it could go up another 40% or more in the coming years.

$250
Old FPL Bill
vs.
$180
New Fixed Bill
About 28% lower — and it doesn't creep back up

What John really cared about wasn't just the savings — it was the control. He knows what he's paying this month, this summer, and next year. It doesn't jump. It stays consistent.

A few years later, John checks in with neighbors still fully on FPL. Their bills: $350… $400… even $500 in some cases. They ask what he's paying. "About $180." Next year, same question. "Still around $180." That's when it really clicks — not just savings, but stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Take a few minutes to go through these tonight. If something's still bugging you, save it for when we sit down — we'd rather you grill us in person than lie awake wondering.
Is this a scam, or too good to be true?+
I get it — a guy shows up at your door talking about solar panels at no upfront cost, and it sounds like a pitch for something free. It's not free, here's how it actually works.

Florida requires utilities to offer net metering at a 1:1 ratio — when your panels produce more than you're using, the extra goes back to the grid for a full credit. When they're not producing enough (night, cloudy days), you draw from those credits instead of paying full price. That's state law, not something we made up, and it's the reason a lower bill is possible.

Utilities don't love this program since it cuts into their revenue, but they're required to offer it — and there are incentives that let us install the equipment at no upfront cost to you. You're not buying anything, not taking out a loan, just paying less for electricity than before. Your home stays connected to FPL/LCEC the whole time, and everything is shown to you in writing before any decision is made.

In industry terms, this is a TPO arrangement — specifically a PPA. Similar to a solar lease, you don't own the system, you're paying for the power it produces.
Will I still have a bill with FPL/LCEC?+
Not in the same way. The goal is for your home to produce enough power so your main bill becomes your new energy cost. The only remaining charge is a small grid connection fee (typically under $30), which comes from FPL/LCEC — not from us.
What is the grid connection fee?+
A small base charge from the utility for staying connected to the grid. This allows:
  • Backup power when needed
  • Sending excess energy back
In most cases, bill credits from the system begin covering this over time.
What happens on cloudy days or at night?+
You're still connected to the grid, so power is always available — that doesn't change. On cloudy days or at night, your home simply draws what it needs from the grid like normal. The credits the system builds up on sunny days are what offset that usage over the course of the billing cycle.
Do I need to change how I use electricity?+
No. You can run your AC, appliances, and everything else the same way you always have. The system is sized around your actual usage, not the other way around.
What if my roof needs work later — repairs or a replacement?+
This comes up, and it's a fair question to ask at the appointment. The roof area under the system is covered by warranty — we match or cover the existing warranty on your current roof. Roof insurance coverage is also included in most cases, though the amount depends on your system size. We'll walk through exactly how repairs or a future roof replacement are handled during the walkthrough.
Are there any hidden fees or surprise costs?+
No.
  • No upfront cost
  • No loan
  • No equipment cost
  • No maintenance cost
You're only paying for electricity. That's it.
Who is responsible for the system if something happens?+
The system is owned, insured, and maintained by the clean energy provider. They handle installation, monitoring, repairs, and maintenance — you are not responsible for the equipment. It's built to meet strict standards, including high wind ratings. If anything happens, it's handled at no cost to you.
What happens if I move?+
People move all the time — it's not an issue. The new homeowner can take over the service (similar to setting up a utility account), or if they don't want it, the system can be removed. No one is locked in or stuck.
Are you endorsed by FPL or LCEC?+
No. Utilities don't endorse individual companies. Multiple providers can operate within the net metering structure as long as they meet requirements, and everything still has to be approved by the utility before moving forward.
Will this raise my home insurance?+
No. This does not increase your home insurance because the system is covered separately. The roof area is covered by warranty, and roof insurance is included in most cases — the exact coverage depends on your system size. The system itself is owned and insured by the provider, so the liability for the system and the roof area it covers is not placed on your homeowner's insurance.

What Happens Next

1
Right now
We're not making any final decisions — just looking at your home to see if it's a good fit based on your bill and usage. If it doesn't make sense, we stop here.
2
The walkthrough (45–60 min)
We'll go through your exact numbers, what your new bill would look like, how much power your home can produce, and coverage/warranties.
3
If the numbers make sense
We send in an application for official review. That's not approval yet — it just means "let's see if your home gets accepted." On average, about 20% of homes are approved after full review.
4
After the application
A roof inspection is scheduled, everything is submitted to the utility, and if it checks out, installation typically happens in about 2 months.

What to Expect When We Sit Down

We take this process seriously and set aside dedicated time to review each home properly — that means sitting down together at a table so we can walk through your numbers, the warranties, and exactly how this would work for your house.

From there, if it makes sense, we put together an application to FPL (or LCEC) for review. We're not the ones who approve it — that's the utility's call. Our job is the homework: making sure what we bring them is accurate and gives your home the best shot.

Quick thing — if you haven't sent over a copy of your bill yet, that helps us have a much more productive conversation when we meet. Snap a photo and text or email it to me directly, whichever's easier.

Already have a time set with me? If anything changes with your availability, just send a quick text to the number below — no problem at all.
