Architectural Solar Canopy Charges Florida’s Clean EV Future
FPL EVolution Plaza charges it! Florida Power & Light partnered with Lumos Solar to bring their bold vision to life: design a world-class solar canopy that would define the future of EV charging in Florida. Located in West Palm Beach, the FPL EVolution Charging Plaza is not just a high-speed charging hub—it’s a landmark project powered by solar and designed to inspire.
Delivering FPL’s Vision with a Signature Solar Canopy
FPL came to Lumos Solar with a clear goal: create a highly visible, architecturally iconic solar canopy that serves as the foundation of their statewide Evolution Initiative. Our design and engineering team responded with a stunning, custom-curved SolarScape structure that combines power production, protection, and design into a single integrated solution.
The result? A solar canopy for EV charging stations that is as functional as it is beautiful—transforming a simple parking area into a bold expression of FPL’s clean energy leadership.
Solar Canopy Benefits: Shade, Power, and Performance
Designed with performance and public experience in mind, the SolarScape structure provides critical benefits:
- On-site renewable energy generation that supports fast EV charging
- Shade and weather protection for EV chargers, vehicles and visitors
- Architectural enhancement that elevates the surrounding built environment
- Public visibility of clean energy infrastructure in action
Every aspect of the structure—from the framing to the lighting—was carefully integrated to deliver a seamless, user-friendly experience while showcasing the potential of sustainable design.
Powered by the Lumos LSX Module System
The solar canopy is topped with our industry-leading LSX Module System—the only module on the market with a frameless, weatherproof design and a Class 4 Hail Rating (FM 4473). These high-efficiency panels don’t just perform—they transform the structure into a work of art.
- Durable and reliable for long-term performance in harsh environments
- Fully concealed wiring and junction boxes for a clean, refined aesthetic
- Built-in LED lighting for nighttime visibility and safety
- Custom integrated gutters and downspouts for water control
The LSX system is engineered to blend high-end architectural appeal with proven solar technology—making it ideal for public, commercial, and institutional applications.
Interactive Public Education and Engagement
In addition to producing clean energy, the FPL site features interactive kiosks displaying real-time data from the solar system. Visitors can engage with the energy story in real time—fostering awareness, trust, and enthusiasm for solar innovation.
How Lumos Helped FPL Lead the Way
Lumos Solar delivered more than a product—we delivered a solution. By combining proven engineering with architectural flexibility, we helped FPL charge it and meet their goals for visibility, sustainability, and public engagement.
As utilities across the country invest in EV charging infrastructure, projects like this set the standard for how a solar canopy can do more than power a site—it can define it.
