Florida is in a zone that receives a moderate amount of solar radiation throughout the year.

Explanation: Most solar radiation falls between the Tropics (about 23.5°N and 23.5°S). Most of Florida lies north of the Tropic of Cancer, in the mid‑latitude band, so it gets moderate—not the maximum or minimum—solar radiation year‑round.
