Escape the Summer Heat and Make a Splash with SolarNow

Looking to beat the heat this summer? With the temperatures rising into the 90s, there are plenty of ways to stay cool while enjoying the outdoors.

Several of FPL SolarNow’s 70+ partner locations across the state offer water play areas, like splash pads, pools and slides, for families looking to cool down! During your visit, stop by our solar trees and canopies to learn about the importance of clean energy. These innovative structures provide shade – a major bonus during a hot day – and harness the power of the sun while generating emissions-free energy that benefits the community.

Across Florida, zoos, museums and parks have been transformed into living classrooms where you can see solar energy up close – making it a fun experience to continue learning year-round now that school is out.

The official start of summer also marks an important time of year for solar energy. With more potential hours of sunlight, there’s no better season to harness the power of solar energy.

Splish, Splash and Slide into Summer!
