Advanced Power & Energy Inc: Driving the Future of Florida's Solar Power
Solar energy is becoming an attractive option for consumers and business as fossil fuels continue to surge in expense. So much so that Florida Power & Light, through its Solar Research Partnership, is raising the money to fund the installation of photovoltaic (PV) units in a pilot project at the Martin power plant, located near Lake Okeechobee.
Solar Power is environmentally friendly because it does not produce emissions or noise. It's fueled by one of Florida's most abundant natural resources - the sun. Florida, as compared for example to Arizona or California, because of occasional cloud cover, lacks the solar radiation that powers desert-based installations boast. However, our solar strength is enough to provide ample power as part of our state power grid system. Excess privately produced power is either stored in batteries for later use or fed and sold back into the national grid - a system that works for everyone. Increased consumer demand will drive the cost of solar power down to make it an affordable choice for everyone.
The State provides tax incentives - and more are coming - to consumers to install Solar technology. Information on these incentives will be regularly updated on the AP&E website. The site also includes information about various types of solar power and a range of energy industry statistics.
Advanced Power & Energy Inc., was founded in 2007 and is owned and managed by South Florida businessmen Evin Daly and Oscar Acosta. Contact the company at www.anenergy.com or info@anenergy.com.

Florida's funding for its Solar Incentive Rebate program was is $3.5M for 2008. It was totally exhausted before the end of March. That funding level supports rebates for only 175 applications should they qualify for the $20,000 maximum rebate. There currently is a backlog of 1500 applicants waiting for the forthcoming rebates from next year's funding. The $10M funding request for 2009 requested by Governor Crist seems woefully inadequate to keep this program labeled an incentive. Next year's funding, if each applicant receives the maximum rebate of $20,000, will reduce the current backlog of applicants by 500 , leaving 1000 applicants from the current backlog of applicants. The current backlog could be reduced to 0 if no new applicants were approved for the Solar Incentive rebate for the next 3 years, IF the funding were to be increased to the $10M level as Crist requests.
Some say that the question is, Should Florida continue to lag in solar economic incentives a
