THE FLORIDA HOUSE CAMPUS 
HAS GONE SOLAR! 
 
THANKS TO OUR LEADING PARTNER, REGION SOLAR 

Solar Photovoltaic ("PV") has arrived at the Florida House 
in a BIG {electrifying} way!  

 

Region Solar designed and installed 3 subsystems comprising a 15kw solar system. One system is a solar canopy in the garden for shade and informal meetings and the others are on the main roof. 

Subsystems were chosen to highlight the latest solar system designs that are suitable for different types of structures and environments. The system at-large will create approximately 1,900 kwh of energy per month.

 

We are expecting this to cover 90% of Florida House usage.

 

Thank you Region Solar!
