has noted that all future driver’s rides on the Dolphin Expressway will become a little bit brighter, as Miami-Dade County in Florida introduced its new solar project.
The plans are to install an array of floating solar panels on the Blue Lagoon. You heard that right. FLOATING SOLAR PANELS!
If the technology takes off, Miami-Dade Mayor, Carlos Gimenez, says residents and businesses could and should expect lower energy bills.
“This would reduce our need to construct transmission lines, there are more than two Gigawatts of opportunities for floating solar in Miami-Dade and, you have to listen to this, that amount of electricity can power up to one and a half million homes,” Gimenez says.
As for now, the panels will reside in the lagoon north of the Dolphin expressway, where Florida Power and Light says the cooling effect of the water makes the energy creation more efficient.
FPL hopes to install 30 million solar panels in Florida by 2030.
