Florida Renewables Assessment Study
A draft of the "Florida Renewables Assessment Study" is now available on the Florida Public Service Commission's web site. The report covers many renewable technologies including photovoltaic, concentrating solar power, and solar water heating (for systems larger than 2 MW-thermal equivalent). The draft report shows solar energy systems are cost competative under several future energy scenarios, and shows a negative cost for solar water heating in most scenarios.
