Florida Power & Light has made it possible for thousands of people to participate in bringing solar to public places where millions of people can see and learn about it. And they've made it look fantastic with 150 Spotlight Solar structures!

SMUD - Sacramento Municipal Utility District

SMUD continues its solar leadership by making aesthetic solar structures a part of a solar workforce development program, benefitting communities in Sacramento.

Alliant Energy

Alliant Energy, a major midwestern utility, built a solar testing and education center with EPRI.  23 Spotlight Solar trees make it engaging for customers and the public.

Orlando Convention Center

Surplus energy school

The school board and architect built Sandy Grove Middle School to produce 30% more energy than it uses. With its four Lift solar trees in front, it's a landmark of sustainability and civic pride.

Downtown Miami

In time for Super Bowl week, seven solar “trees” lit up Bayfront Park, where hundreds of thousands of people enjoyed pre-game concerts. With a total of 28 beautiful solar structures, Miami is showing millions its support for clean energy.

Kennedy Space Center

Among the massive space ships and the millions of visitors, there are now five striking solar structures. We’ve been told our Lift product looks a bit like a rocket. Now you can make a direct comparison.

NC State University

Student leaders at NC State led this project to add Curve as the 12th solar system on campus. Placed right in front of a LEED silver library, it promotes energy and environmental stewardship. 

Frost Science

On the waterfront in Miami is a stunning new science center giving kids a memorable experience in learning. This starts on the front porch, with two sculptural solar "trees" making clean energy beautiful and touchable.

Zoo

Yes, that's a kangaroo living blissfully in the shade of solar. Click the picture to learn why we love this project so much... other than, you know, there's a kangaroo!

Aviary

Tracy Aviary in Salt Lake educates 150,000 people per year about conservation. And their Lift structures shade visitors and flamingos alike in their most popular exhibit, inspiring consideration of solar.

Wake Electric

Wake Electric built a new HQ building, and wanted to show their support for clean energy. So they put three Industry solar trees on the porch.
