Fonroche aligns your project to meet funding priorities, so you can move quickly from installation application. See our full guide to Florida solar lighting grants and funding opportunities.

HARPA (Hazard Mitigation Assistance through ARPA)

HARPA supports community efforts to reduce the risk of natural disasters. It funds hazard-resilient infrastructure, including solar lighting for parks, coastal walkways, and flood-prone areas, especially where reliable illumination is needed during grid outages or extreme weather.

DOT RAISE & SS4A (Safe Streets and Roads for All)

These U.S. DOT programs prioritize transportation safety and equitable access. Solar lighting improves visibility and walkability at intersections, crosswalks, and school zones. Projects that reduce traffic fatalities, improve public access, and align with Vision Zero goals are often eligible for funding. 

USDA REAP (Rural Energy for America Program)

REAP offers grants and low-interest loans to rural communities, farms, and tribal lands for adopting renewable energy solutions. Solar street lighting is a strong fit especially in areas where trenching or utility connections are cost– prohibitive. Up to 50% of project costs may be covered. 

Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC)

The ITC provides a 30% federal tax credit on eligible solar lighting project costs for commercial and public infrastructure. It’s one of the most impactful ways to offset upfront capital and improve long-term ROI for solar deployments.

Florida Property Tax Abatement

Florida offers an 80% reduction in the added property tax value for qualifying solar installations through 2020. This incentive lowers the long-term tax burden for municipalities, school districts, and private developers integrating solar systems into their infrastructure.

Have Questions About Grants or Incentives? Start Here.

Whether you’re planning roadway improvements, public safety upgrades, park lighting, or off-grid infrastructure, our team can help you identify programs that may support your project goals.

Projects that improve public safety, resilience, and energy efficiency are strong candidates. That includes lighting for streets, parks, trails, walkways, intersections, schools, and public transit access points.

Yes. Most programs like FEMA BRIC, DOT RAISE, SS4A, and Florida’s Resilient Florida Grant recognise solar lighting as a resilient, sustainable infrastructure upgrade that supports their funding goals. 

No, Fonroche does not assist with grant writing or submission. This page is designed to help you explore available funding programs and decide whether pursuing a grant is the right fit for your project. If needed, your city, agency, or consultant can manage the application independently.

Available incentives include the Federal Investment Tax Credit (30% off eligible project costs), Florida’s 80% property tax abatement for solar installations, sales tax exemptions on solar equipment, and utility-based rebate programs.

Start with a clear project scope. From there, we can help you identify relevant programs based on your location, infrastructure goals, and funding timelines. Local agencies and utility providers can also offer region-specific guidance.

Yes. In many cases, projects qualify for layered funding, such as using the Federal ITC along with a state incentive or local grant. Proper planning helps you maximize available savings. 

Some, like Florida’s tax abatement, are active through 2037. Others, like FEMA BRIC or SS4A, run in annual cycles with specific deadlines. It’s important to track timelines and confirm eligibility for each cycle.
