Do you have solar panels installed on your house? If it’s something you’ve been thinking about and might wait a few years before making the commitment, there’s a good chance that your power could come from the University of Central Florida. If that seems a little crazy, it’s just another example of major players seeing the power that comes from solar.
The campus of UCF is aiming to build a massive solar panel array which wouldn’t quite be the biggest in Florida, but would be the largest grouping of panels that aren’t owned by a Florida utility company. The project is estimated to bring in a large amount of power to fuel the campus by the year 2020.
This decision demonstrates that solar power is really starting to gain some traction in Florida, where the ability to make a huge mark in the industry is expanding beyond traditional utility companies. Ultimately it pays off for you as a solar consumer too, where supply is positively impacting demand.
Instead of the solar industry being dominated by a few large entities, households and small businesses will have the choice to pick their energy provider as more and more projects are underway. The long term impact of this expansion paves a smooth future for the Sunshine State, as homeowners will probably find the costs associated with installation to drop in price as solar becomes more commonplace.
Now is a great time to invest in this amazing energy source! It’s only becoming more and more popular and with the addition of other large entities coming into the mix, it won’t be long before everyone is a solar user.
