As of October 2024, the average solar panel system costs $2.17/W including installation in Melbourne, FL. For a 5 kW installation, this comes out to about $10,859 before incentives, though prices range from $9,230 to $12,488. After the federal tax credit, the average price drops by 30%.

You'll probably pay even less than what we show here. It doesn't include the federal ITC or Melbourne, FL state incentives, which will lower this price by at least a few thousand dollars.

It may seem obvious but larger solar panel systems cost more money. We use cost per watt ($/W) so you can easily compare quotes, controlling for slight variations in system size.

While a 5 kW system will only cost you $10,859 in Melbourne, FL, doubling the system size effectively doubles the price, so you'll pay about twice that for a 10 kW system. The higher the price tag, though, the more you'll get back as a credit towards your federal tax bill.

Northrop Grumman may employ about 1,200 workers at its future campus expansion at Melbourne Orlando International Airport, where thousands of engineers, technicians and support staff work today on some of America's most advanced military aircraft programs.

Thursday night, the Melbourne Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of the code-named "Project Daisy," Northrop Grumman's site plan for its future controlled-access complex off NASA Boulevard. Anchored by a large three-story office building and a high bay building measuring up to 50 feet high, this expansion zone measures 37.7 acres.

"Exciting News! Northrop Grumman is expanding its presence at Melbourne Orlando International Airport (MLB), and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see their growth alongside our incredible tenant base," airport officials said in a Wednesday LinkedIn post linking to FLORIDA TODAY's story that publicly announced the project.

"As home to over 60 world-class tenants, MLB plays a key role in driving our local economy. It’s always inspiring to see our partners like Northrop Grumman thrive and help strengthen our community!" the LinkedIn post said.

The Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation will now go to the Melbourne City Council, which next meets Nov. 12 and will cast decisive votes on the site plan. Board members Thursday engaged in scant discussion on Project Daisy, and Northrop Grumman was not publicly mentioned.

The aerospace giant proposes to construct:

In a Monday email, a Northrop Grumman spokesperson told FLORIDA TODAY, "this project represents our commitment to continue to modernize our Melbourne facility which is a 'Digital Hub for Engineering and Design' and a core Northrop Grumman site for advanced aircraft development.” He did not divulge further details.

Northrop Grumman's Melbourne facilities specialize in development of the classified U.S. Air Force B-21 Raider long-range stealth bomber, U.S. Navy's E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and Airborne Laser Mine Detection System, among other military programs.

"The site plan meets setbacks, meets parking, meets heights — check, check, check," Planning Manager Cheryl Dean told the board.

"Because of the size, because of the number of proposed employees — 1,200, approximately — a traffic study is required for NASA Boulevard," she said.

On that topic, Dean said a traffic signal will be required at the intersection of NASA Boulevard and Commerce Drive, and the office complex will have NASA Boulevard eastbound left turn lanes and westbound right turn lanes.

Average traffic in that area of NASA Boulevard is 23,530 vehicles per day, an agenda memo said.
