The Florida Conservation and Technology Center in Apollo Beach, Florida is home to a 60,000 watt AC solar array. This location was chosen for one of our many arrays due to its proximity to Tampa Electric's Manatee Viewing Center (MVC) and the Suncoast Youth Conservation Center that offers year-round opportunities for public education. The system provides a canopy over visitors waiting to take a shuttle to and from the MVC.

Earth Day 2014 marked the day representatives from LEGOLAND Florida and Tampa Electric flipped the switch on a Tampa Electric-owned 27,000 watt AC solar photovoltaic (PV) system installed atop LEGOLAND'S Imagination Zone. A PV system this size is capable of generating enough electricity from the sun to power three average-sized homes and offset about 40 tons of carbon dioxide per year – equivalent to planting more than nine acres of trees.

Tampa Electric's Manatee Viewing Center in Apollo Beach, Florida (near Tampa Electric's Big Bend Power Station) is home to a 40-panel, 37,230 watt AC system installed atop the Manatee Viewing Center's education building. It includes 16 pole-mounted arrays consisting of 10 panels each, located throughout the parking area.

Meacham Urban Farm is an organic farm at the outskirts of downtown Tampa. It's there that our bright Florida sunshine is helping crops grow and will be teaching kids about clean solar energy. At the edge of the farm we've installed a solar "Curve" – a sun-storing array that resembles a giant flower. The Curve has its own battery, so visitors can charge their phones while watching free-range chickens roam or learning about sustainable farming methods.

A magnet school for math, science, engineering and technology, Middleton High School hosts a 8,925 watt AC solar panel system as part of the school's curriculum. In case of a natural disaster or other emergency, the system also provides supplemental power for the Red Cross shelter located in this school. This 60-solar panel system has battery backup for overnight uses and is the largest contained within any Florida school.

At Tampa's Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI), you can explore Tampa Electric's first solar panel system. The system is directly connected to the same electrical infrastructure that sends electricity to your home or business. In 2020, MOSI added two solar "Curve" charging stations that also send power to the community.

In Tampa's Channelside District, the Florida Aquarium's Explore-A-Shore pavilion hosts a 8,602 watt AC solar array that helps support Tampa Electric's Sun Select program. In addition to the solar installation, Tampa Electric and the Florida Aquarium installed an interactive display to teach children about the benefits of solar energy.

Tampa Electric joined with ZooTampa at Lowry Park and the University of South Florida's Power Center for Utility Explorations on a 12,793 watt AC solar panel system at the zoo. The solar panels are installed atop an elephant shade structure and an adjacent maintenance building. The project includes a Renewable Energy Learning Center that provides research opportunities for USF and Tampa Electric to study the technical, economic and environmental benefits of a renewable, grid-connected photovoltaic system for Smart Grid electric power production.
