Duke Energy‘s first floating solar project in Florida, a nearly 1 MW array made up of more than 1,800 panels, is now operational.
The pilot is part of the company’s Vision Florida program and sits on top of two acres of water surface on an existing cooling pond at the Duke Energy Hines Energy Complex in Bartow. The bifacial solar panels absorb light from both sides, which can produce up to 20% more power than their single-sided counterparts, says the company.
“We are committed to building a smarter, cleaner energy future for our customers, while continuing to look for ways to maintain affordability and reliability,” says Melissa Seixas, Duke Energy Florida state president. “By exploring alternative solutions on a smaller scale and on our own property, we are maximizing the space and expanding our use and knowledge of innovative emission free technologies that will move us forward on our path to net-zero carbon emissions.”
The company plans to have 25 grid-tied solar power plants in operation by this year.

Duke Energy Completes its First Florida Floating Solar Project
Until Trump came along, I would have said that the Twain quote here was intended as humor.
Now we can see how true it is, as we have an entire voting bloc rooted in ignorance and confidence.
The reader who sent me the meme here writes: No problem. I’d also feel safer that no liberal crazy would bust in and harm me.
I wonder how many people have been injured at polling places in the 250-year history of the United States, and I’d be particularly curious as to how many were hurt by liberals.
As is the custom of the day, we’re fabricating data to scare idiots into demanding solutions to problems that don’t exist. Voter fraud is virtually nonexistent, and among undocumented aliens it’s almost zero, since they don’t have the ID to get on the voting rolls in the first place.
The foreign policy of the United States is a catastrophe, putting it mildly.
We could begin with the tearing upon of the internationally negotiated treaty we had with Iran, and then starting a war with them shortly after “obliterating” their nuclear capacity. From there, we have the attempt to annex Greenland from our (former) NATO ally Denmark, trying to make Canada our 51st state, taking over the Panama Canal, and capturing Cuba and Venezuela.
In all, we’ve become a rogue, pariah nation.
