M.O.B. Votes:

gainer in Solar. Florida is #3.

80% of the solar manufacturing investments since August of 2022 have flowed to congressional districts represented by Republicans. Of the 20 states that installed the most solar capacity in 2024, 14 of them voted for President Trump last year, and there is now more solar capacity installed in Trump states than in states that voted for former Vice President Harris.

Texas installed more solar last year than any other state, and now maintains a solar market worth over $50 billion

The state of Florida is home to the second most solar jobs in the United States and boasts one of the fastest-growing solar markets with 13 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity expected over the next five years. Florida installed more utility-scale solar than California last year
