The FPL DeSoto facility is the largest solar photovoltaic solar facility in the nation and in North America. Constructed in less than a year, the DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center uses over 90,000 photovoltaic panels to turn the sun’s rays into electricity to power more than 3,000 homes.
The DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center is one of three new commercial-scale, renewable, solar power plants FPL is building in Florida, along with solar energy centers in Martin County and at NASAs Kennedy Space Center. Together, these will total 110 megawatts of capacity by the end of 2010 and are expected to make Florida the second largest solar power-producing state in the country.

EASY TO MAKE SOLAR PANELS
Solar power is a very good source of power because it is renewable, environmental friendly and free. It would be a very nice idea to have a solar power system at home. However, due to the high setup cost ($2000 or more), not many people would use this system.
I am about to let you in on a little secret that can have you building your own solar panels for home use! By making your own solar power system that will save you thousands!
If you think buying a solar power system is too expensive for you, you can make it yourself with a much lower budget. You will need a solar panel first. You will use solar cells, wood plate, soldering iron, solder, flux, and tabbing to make a panel. These items are easy to get from local stores and you would not need any special tool. Even a novice can make it without problem.Solar panels are the wave of the future! So where do we start? How do you get your hands on the material to start building your own solar panels? Well lets first find out what solar panels are. That way you at least sound educated when you pitch this to your family!
Solar cells are almost always made from silicon, that is the same material we use to make computer chips. Silicon is one of the worlds most common elements, and is a leading component of sand and many kinds of rocks. A solar cell is built in layers, with two layers of silicon separated by a thin layer of insulating material. All three layers work together and convert sunlight into electricity.
When sunlight hits the solar cell, it produces an electric charge. Like a battery, the charge is positive on one side of the cell, and negative on the other side. Connecting a wire to the positive and to the negative side will allow electricity to flow. This flow, or current, can be used to power a small light bulb, turn an electric motor, or recharge a battery.
Broken solar cells can be bought for cheap money, and THEY STILL WORK! That is what I recommend. Of course you will need framing material to mount to the top of your house and two pieces of glass. The rest is pretty simple, hook your panels together, positive to positive and negative to negative, that way you get only 2 wires when you are done.Take these two wires and connect them to your power inverter and connect the power inverter to the electrical grid to your house. These steps seem hard but can be broken up into much simpler and easier steps.
I recommend this site if you want to get more in depth information and a step-by-step process of buying, installing and profiting from solar panels

Here’s my Class of 2009 Graduation Cap for the University of California Berkeley.
It is covered with a small “green town,” complete with a solar power plant and a wind turbine.
The solar panel works, and actually drives the wind turbine. So while not true generation, it helps to demonstrate renewable energy at least.

would they cause any problems to the airplanes flying above my place?
The principal of PV cells is to absorb as much light as possible. Reflective surface is glass that is put on top to protect them from weather and damage.
They will be as reflective as any window in the house, so this will not cause any hazard for any plane.

http://www.solarpoweredlighting.org Now, with the economy the way that it is, solar powered lighting makes sense on an economical level as well. The idea of reducing or eliminating your lighting bill gets me really excited. You can never save too much is what I always say!
Further, with the amazing advances in solar powered lighting it is possible to light a lot more space for a longer amount of time than ever before. With advances being made in solar powered lighting being made every day, I see a bright future for solar power in our society. We are already seeing many tax credits and government help for families willing to rely solely or partially on solar power. And, what is more important is that the costs associated with solar powered lighting are falling which means that it is becoming more and more accessible to everyone.
Solar powered lighting is not only a green way to light and power your home, it is one that can save you money.
