On June 231 of 2017 Governor Rick Scott signed HB 1021 amending 377.705 of Florida Statute
authorizing solar energy systems manufactured or sold in the state to be certified by professional
engineers. In effect a Florida Solar Energy Center, (FSECj certification is no longer required by state
statute for materials or systems to be sold or installed in the state of Florida.
On page 6, lines 138-144 read;
All solar energy systems sold in the state must meet the standards established by the center and shall
display accepted results or approved performance tests in a manner prescribed by the center, unless
otherwise certified by an engineer licensed pursuant to chapter 471 using the standards contained in
the most recent version of the Florida Building Code.
Please find HB 1021 attached for your convenience. This modification to 377.705 will go into effect July
1, 2017
