Orlando home with Tesla Powerwall battery backup
Orlando · OUC customers

Orlando just rewrote the solar rules. A battery is how you win under the new ones.

OUC ended net metering for new solar applications in July 2025 — new exports earn the community-solar rate, and the new pricing lands Fall 2026. A Tesla Powerwall stores your daytime power for evening use, backs up your home through storm season, and positions you for OUC's relaunching storage rebate. If you're grandfathered, storage protects the rate you already locked.

The rules changed

New solar exports don't earn retail anymore.

For applications after July 1, 2025, OUC credits exported solar at the community solar rate — not the retail rate — with the full pricing change effective Fall 2026. Power you send away is worth less; power you store and use is still worth full value. That's the battery's job.

Questions, answered.

What exactly did OUC change?+
For solar applications received after June 30, 2025, exported energy is credited at the community solar rate for five years, then the retail fuel rate — instead of full retail net metering. The broader pricing changes take effect Fall 2026. Existing customers who applied in time keep their old rate for 20 years at their current home.
I'm grandfathered — does a battery mess that up?+
No. Adding storage doesn't change your existing interconnection agreement. For grandfathered homes the battery is about backup through storm season and independence from whatever changes next.
Is there a rebate?+
OUC has announced it is relaunching an energy storage rebate as part of its new pricing plan. The amount and terms haven't been published yet — we track it, and when it opens we file it for you. We never promise a rebate before the utility publishes it.
Do I need solar to get a battery?+
No — a Powerwall works on its own for backup and can charge from the grid outside peak hours. If you have solar, it also captures the production you'd otherwise export at the reduced rate.
What does it cost per month?+
Most Orlando homeowners start with one battery for a low monthly payment on the financed price. Your exact monthly depends on system size and credit — we show every number and confirm against your real OUC bill before anything is signed.
