The Sunshine State is increasing its reliance on solar energy.

Florida had about 18,547 megawatts of solar generating capacity through the end of last year — the third highest amount in the United States, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. Last year, it added nearly 4,700 megawatts of capacity, its highest investment ever. The association estimates that the state will add nearly 13,115 megawatts of capacity over the next five years.

Florida leads the Southeast in solar, trailing only California and Texas in capacity nationwide.
