This Tuesday Barack Obama will inaugurate what will be the nation’s largest solar plant.  The 25MW Florida plant, called the Desoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center, sits on 180 acres and will provide enough power for 3000 homes and businesses.  It will eclipse Nevada’s Nellis Solar Power Plant for the title of largest solar photovoltaic solar facility in the US, but won’t hold that title for long.  First Solar is building a 48MW plant in Nevada and announced recently it will build a huge 2GW plant over in China.  It’s a great start though and puts Florida and FPL Group on the solar map.
