I totally agree with Andrew, there is a considerable 'extra warmth' on the Gulf Coast compared with Orlando in the winter.

I confess to knowing nothing about solar panels but is it temperature or hours of sunshine that is the important factor?

I do however know that there is no significant difference in either factor between the Gulf Coast area (which it has to be said is hundreds of miles long and subject to wide variations of weather within itself) and the central Florida area. If anything, central Florida enjoys consistently higher temperatures - although not by much.
