The Florida Energy Office's solar strategy is to place solar in the midst of each energy decision in the state.
Solar energy has many environmental and long-range benefits.
Solar is particularly suited as an alternative fuel source to electricity for thermal heating. The Florida Energy Office has continued to emphasize the need to bolster the creation of the infrastructure needed to support the development and promotion of new and innovative techniques and technologies with solar-specific projects. The program insures, by providing needed support to the Solar Industry, that the quality of equipment and its performance are in compliance with the standards of the industry. The program encourages the use of solar energy, and identifies and removes barriers to solar applications in the energy marketplace.
