Question

Do many homes in Florida have solar power? How much less are utilities in Florida than they are in Mass?

Answer 1

a lot of homes are switching to solar and companies can be found in the phone book or by googling "solar power/florida". Figure it will take you 5-10 years to recoup your expense, but it makes the property more valuable. Plus it helps the environment. I've had mine (in CA) for three years and save about two hundred a month on electric. I'm sure florida will be about the same. Hard to compare FL with MA with regards to costs.

Answer 2

Before buying a house in Florida, you better check and see if you can afford a homeownwer's policy first.  Very expensive these days.
