And they would work in Florida

 

Another bad, stupid, shortsighted move.

Or, just another day in the office for Governor DeSantis.

Ron DeSantis rejects $350 MILLION from Biden for energy-efficient initiatives to make homes more green and to help the poor access solar panels

"The funds he [DeSantis] vetoed included $5 million in federal money to fund administrative expenses associated with a $174 million rebate program for energy-efficient improvements and a $173 million rebate program for energy-efficient home appliance purchases.

DeSantis also rejected a $24 million federal grant that would have been used to upgrade rural waste-water systems."
Now, the article doesn't say that the funding is specifically for solar panels, though the headline does. If that's part of what the funding pays for, it's really dumb to turn it down, because sunny (and hot) Florida is one of the best places in the country to have solar panels on your house -- or in parking lots, as I've advocated before.
