Constructed in less than a year, the DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center uses over 90000 photovoltaic panels to turn the sun's rays into electricity to power more than 3000 homes. The DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center is one of three new commercial-scale, renewable, solar power plants FPL is building in Florida, along with solar energy centers in Martin County and at NASAs Kennedy Space Center. Together, these will total 110 megawatts of capacity by the end of 2010 and are expected to make Florida the second largest solar power-producing state in the country.
