Bringing solar energy closer. One community at a time.

Florida Power & Light (FPL) solar trees, solar canopies and SolarZones are eye-catching, innovative solar structures created to bring solar technology to the hearts of our communities. They provide shade and harness the power of the sun while generating emissions-free energy that benefits all of us.

Why is FPL installing solar structures?

Florida is in the midst of one of the largest solar expansions in the country and Northwest Florida plays an important role.

Today, in Northwest Florida, there are three large-scale FPL solar energy centers in operation, generating zero-emissions energy for our customers, as well as 10 solar energy centers under construction.

Many of our large solar energy centers may not be visible to the public, so we are strategically installing solar trees, solar parking canopies and SolarZones across Northwest Florida. Each installation helps transform the host locations into a living classroom for people of all ages to learn about solar.

These structures also serve as reminders of our mission to deliver clean, cost-effective and reliable energy to our customers and communities.

Teaching the next generation about the value of sustainability is critical, and these projects showcase solar energy to tens of thousands of people every year.
Each location includes unique features like charging stations that can be used by visitors and edge lights that can be programmed to change colors for a visual experience.
They also provide an eco-friendly backdrop for visitors to create lasting memories, all while fostering a renewed sense of community.
QR codes on each structure also provide smartphone users with information about FPL’s solar commitment.
