Florida PV capacity exploded starting with just 3 MW cumulative in 2008 and ending with 39 MW in 2009.

    441MW is not incldued CSP, there were 30 to 40 MW installed and connected from CSP Projects
    50% capacity is coming from Cal while NJ is ranks 2nd place.....

    How come? It says it right there on page 5 in the pdf file that 2009 added 441 MWac of new capacity of both grid tied PV and grid tied CSP.

    Edit: Yea, there is discrepancy between page 1 and page 5. Page 1 says 2009 installed 481 MW and the table on page 5 says 441 MW.
