This morning, the AP reported that Solar City, the nation’s largest solar installer will open a Florida facility.
Orlando‘s and Jacksonville‘s A1A Solar – Florida’s largest rooftop residential solar panel installer – isn’t surprised:
“I’m glad there’s reputable competition coming to the Sunshine State. We’re not surprised at all that they watched Amendment 1 and waited for it to fail before making such a move. The Sunshine State is a very attractive state for rooftop solar, especially as local utilities were just granted the right to increase their rates.” — A1A Solar’s founder and CEO Pete Wilking, a combat veteran
Wilking’s correct. This announcement comes immediately following the Florida Public Service Commission approved an $811 million rate hike sought by Florida Power & Light. FPL has about 4.8 million Florida customers.
