Abstract

Florida has a distinct history of solar system development and use. Solar systems have been operating in the State since the 1920s. During the past several decades, solar technologies have advanced and matured, as have the business entities that deliver solar products to the end user. Solar products made in Florida are U.S. and world industry leaders. Quality control measures, such as collector and system testing and certification, contractor training and licensing, and follow-up site inspection, have assured consumer confidence in solar equipment and installation.
