About Us

Who Are We

The Florida Solar Energy Industries Association (FlaSEIA) is a non-profit trade association. Since 1977, we have been dedicated to protecting and promoting the interests of the solar energy industry in Florida. This longevity,  along with stringent contractor licensure and system certification standards, is largely responsible for consumer confidence and industry growth. Upholding the highest ethical standards, our professional members exemplify quality, safety and performance. More than 450,000 solar installations across the state exhibit our members’ commitment to making solar Florida’s natural energy choice.

Our Mission

The mission of the Association is to promote the common business interests of persons engaged in business in the solar energy industry, improving the business conditions of the solar energy industry and advocating on behalf of the solar energy industry in the state of Florida. The Association should cooperate with other like minded associations and organizations to the extent their interests are mutually aligned.

Become a Member

When you become a FlaSEIA member, you contribute to the long-term growth and profitability of the solar industry in Florida; commit yourself to a high standard of professional ethics; increase your access to critical information, advocacy, professional development and networking opportunities; and gain access to prospective business opportunities.

Advocacy

Legislative and Regulatory Advocacy—Members prioritize legislative and regulatory issues annually. FlaSEIA was instrumental in garnering permanent status for the state’s solar sales tax exemption. Working strategically with legislators and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, FlaSEIA also helped promote the passage of the Florida Renewable Energy Technologies and Energy Efficiency Act. The Act provides financial incentives for solar hot water heating, solar swimming pool heating and solar electric (photovoltaic) systems.

Ethical Business Practices

We encourage the ethical conduct of companies participating in the solar market. FlaSEIA is not a law enforcement organization but it can provide resources to assist people to find the appropriate law enforcement organization.

Influence Building Codes and Permitting

Codes and Standards to ensure safety and reliability and to standardize requirements to reduce costs and improve construction efficiency.
