> The Sunshine State connected 2,499 megawatts of solar-generation capacity to the grid during the first half of 2023, blowing away the 1,648 megawatts added by California and the 1,292 megawatts added by Texas, according to the most recent U.S. Solar Market Insight report from the Solar Energy Industries Association and energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie.
> Thanks to this year’s surge, Florida now has a total of 12,612 megawatts of solar connected to the grid. It still has a long way to go in order to catch up with Texas’ 18,801 megawatts and California’s impressive 41,675 megawatts, but it’s moving in the right direction — even in spite of a less-than-ideal policy landscape.
