| Utility | Type | Battery and related programs |
|---|---|---|
| Florida Power & Light Co | investor-owned | On Call Savings pays small monthly bill credits for letting FPL cycle A/C and other equipment; a $200 A/C rebate and $220 ceiling-insulation rebate are listed. We found no FPL solar or battery rebate. A grid-charged or backup-only battery needs an application, and solar-paired battery power may not be exported. |

What to plan for in Sunrise
- Lightning (very high): Lightning causes short outages and damages electronics. Surge protection and a battery that switches over automatically protect the things you care about.
- Hurricanes (very high): Hurricanes can mean a week without power. A standby generator on natural gas or propane, or a battery with solar, beats a stack of gas cans; check flood height before you site equipment.
- River and heavy-rain flooding (very high): Heavy rain can flood basements and take out power. Put sump pumps on backup power and keep equipment above the flood line.
