Tampa is the top "Solar Builder" ranking #1 in this category of the 66 cities surveyed in the "Shining Cities 2017" report written by Frontier Group and the Environment America Research & Policy Center for those cities with between 5 and 25 watts of installed solar PV capacity per person. The complete report can be downloaded by clicking here or on the post title.

This is solid recognition of the continuing promise of this region and Florida to develop into a "Solar Leader" or even a "Solar Star." However, in terms of total installed Solar PV on the ground, we have a long way to go to catch-up with the west coast! Jacksonville leads the State of Florida with 25 MW of total installed Solar PV capacity followed by Tampa at 9 MW. Not so much in the total scheme of all things "Solar." Let us know your thoughts regarding how we become that "Solar Leader" or "Solar Star."
