This is Sumitomo's first investment in U.S. solar projects and will expand its renewable energy portfolio, which already includes over 1,800 MW in projects across the United States.

Florida? The Sunshine State name was bestowed as an act of geriatric irony, not as a description. In all cases, you run into the same problem as most other non-desert places do, namely, where are you going to put it that doesn't already have houses built on it?

One of the few places on earth where solar makes sense. It will still take about 10 years to be profitable, but that's far less than Japan's 15-20 years.
