281st largest plant in Florida · 8622nd nationally
Lockheed Martin Solar is a solar power plant in Florida with a nameplate capacity of 3.9 MW. It generates roughly 3.0k MWh per year — enough to power about 282 average U.S. homes.
Its capacity factor of 9% reflects intermittent or peaking operation. At 10 lb CO₂/MWh, its emission rate sits below the national grid average of roughly 800 lb/MWh.

Utility-scale solar farms convert sunlight directly into electricity using photovoltaic panels. They produce zero direct emissions and have no fuel cost, but generation is variable — peaking at midday and falling to zero at night. Capacity factors typically run 18–28% in good locations.
