Here's a fact we love: the floats under these panels are made of HDPE, the same material as the pipes that carry drinking water to your tap. 💧

Safe enough for your water supply. Tough enough to sit on a pond for 25+ years.

Pretty enough for a picture, too😎

Next time you're flying into Miami in a window seat, look down! The FPL and Miami-Dade logos in the water are our solar panels 😎

And if you're at Universal Orlando, take a closer look at the Comcast logo floating near the entrance. Those are also ours.

We love a good disguise 🎨

The world's first floating solar in the auto industry is right here in Orlando. 🚗☀️

While Cox Automotive's Manheim Orlando site had no spare land (it's covered in cars), it did have a retention pond. That pond now runs 1 MW of solar, floating on water the site already owned.

Imagine a future where innovation meets sustainability! The Village of Monroeville, Ohio (population ~1,300) is pioneering the way with the largest floating solar array in Ohio (and one of the largest in the country), harnessing 6 megawatts of clean energy on its own drinking water reservoir. By repurposing existing water, they're preserving 20+ acres of land for future generations. 🌞💚

Red, white, and clean energy independence🎆

This July 4th, we’re looking back at a historic milestone on Big Muddy Lake at Camp Mackall. Years ago, we launched the Department of Defense’s very first floating solar plant!

By floating 1.1 MW of clean solar power directly on the water, the system preserves valuable training land for our Special Forces at Fort Bragg. Paired with a 2 MWh battery, it creates a self-sufficient microgrid that safeguards critical operations if the main grid goes offline.

Here’s to innovation that keeps our nation both sustainable and secure. Happy Independence Day!🦅

🤩 Here's one we're proud of. 6 years ago, we built New Zealand's first floating solar array, on a wastewater treatment plant in Auckland. At the time it was the largest solar project of any kind in the whole country.

It's still running today, generating enough power for around 200 homes a year and cutting 145 tonnes of carbon. People ask how far we'll travel for a project: we say "only as far as New Zealand"😆🌍

Our panels like to keep their cool 😎

Solar panels lose power when they get too hot, and that happens on exactly the afternoons when everyone's running the AC and the grid needs power most. Ours float, and the water keeps them cooler, so they hold their output through the hottest part of the day.

One more reason floating solar beats the rooftop kind. ☀️

Hurricane season's back. When Milton crossed Florida, all of our Central Florida arrays in its path came through with no structural damage (one array pictured). Built to move with the storm, not fight it💪⛈️

The worry: a floating solar array covers a pond and hurts the water.

The reality: our arrays cover a fraction of the surface. Algae blooms — the part that actually hurts water by choking oxygen and stressing fish — slow down when their sunlight drops. Less sunlight, less algae.

A real-world example we love: Altamonte Springs (pictured).

Florida has the ponds. D3Energy has the only statewide lease to develop floating solar on all of them. No new land needed.

Florida DOT leases potentially all its stormwater ponds for floating solar development Floating solar contractor D3Energy has signed a master lease with the Florida Dept. of Transportation (FDOT) to serve as the exclusive developer of
