Offshore wind is not the only renewable energy source that is growing for the Jacksonville market – solar is also on the rise. As businesses and electric authorities look to grow their use of solar energy, Jacksonville’s transportation and logistics ecosystem is stepping up to help deliver the infrastructure needed, from warehousing space for safe storage and module deployment to the product’s final mile delivery.
