Jason Bateman's House: The Beverly Hills Green Home with Solar Power

Jason Bateman lives in Beverly Hills, California, in a home he has made notable for its environmental features: solar panels, energy-efficient systems, and what various outlets have described as one of Hollywood's most committed residential green builds. He also filmed portions of the 2013 comedy Bad Words using the home's solar power in what was described as a first for a Hollywood production. In 2018, he purchased a neighboring pink house to expand his compound. No Florida property has been publicly confirmed.

What makes it a "green home"?

Bateman's Beverly Hills home has been documented for solar panel installation that generates enough power to run the property and was used to power the production equipment for Bad Words. The broader "green home" designation in real estate covers a range of features. For buyers evaluating eco-friendly homes in South Florida, the relevant standards include:

• Solar panels: Florida's 280+ sunny days per year make solar economics significantly better than most US states. FPL (Florida Power and Light) offers net metering programs in most of our service area.
• Impact windows and high-efficiency HVAC: Required by code in many South Florida jurisdictions since 2002, these also substantially reduce energy use and insurance costs.
• LEED certification: A handful of South Florida new construction communities now include LEED-certified homes, particularly in Broward County planned developments.
• Green building codes: Palm Beach County adopted the Florida Green Building Coalition residential standard in 2010; many newer homes in the county meet or exceed it.

South Florida's solar landscape

Florida ranks third nationally for solar capacity, and South Florida has some of the state's best solar economics. Key facts for buyers:

• Florida Property Tax Exemption: Solar installations are exempt from property tax assessment, meaning adding a $40,000 solar system to your home does not increase your property tax bill
• Florida Sales Tax Exemption: Residential solar equipment is exempt from Florida's 6% sales tax
• Net metering: FPL, Florida Power and Light, offers net metering at the full retail rate (as of 2026, subject to ongoing legislative review)
• Average payback period: 7-10 years for a standard South Florida residential solar installation, per the Florida Solar Energy Center
