If Florida relied on only solar to produce all of its energy needs, other power companies would fail, because they wouldn't be selling any energy sources.

Currently, solar panels are made of layers of silicon to capture blue light, and red and infrared light passes through. If we add photonic crystals behind the silicon, the infrared and red light will reflect and can be captured by the silicon. The crystals reflect all photons at different wave lengths, so the light not captured by the silicon will reflect until absorbed. It can increase efficiency up to 37%, making the need for lots of panels to decrease. Can also charge battery if being stored for later use.

CSP means concentrated solar thermal plants. PV means photo voltaic. CSP uses focused sunlight. They use mirrors to convert the suns energy into high temperature heat. The heat is received through a conventional generator.
