Utility-scale solar projects are a collection of solar panels situated on the ground at a low angle to collect maximum energy from the sun. Natural vegetative screening blends the project into the surrounding environment.

Solar panels continue to generate electricity all year long, even on cloudy or snowy days. A light dusting of snow has little impact on the panels and can be easily blown off by the wind. Because panels are tilted, snow slides off over time, sustaining the panels as it melts. When snowfall is heavy, panels are cleared by facility employees.

Solar energy production allows us to generates sustainable energy that does not contribute to planet-warming greenhouse gases or pollution of the air, soil, or water. These projects create a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional forms of energy generation.

Solar energy projects bring immense benefits to the communities in which they are located. They deliver economic vitality and create hundreds of job opportunities. Landowners enjoy stable, monthly income through land leases, which helps keep generational land in the family through diversified income. Solar energy also preserves our air and water, creating a safer, more enjoyable, and more beautiful environment for outdoor recreation. Communities thrive from millions of dollars in new tax revenue, which allows for improvements to schools, infrastructure, public services, and more.

Every solar project is accompanied by a decommissioning plan, which ensures the proper removal of equipment and restores the site. Many components of solar panels can be recycled, including each panel's glass, aluminum framing, copper wire, and plastic. As the utility-scale solar industry grows, recycling processes continue to improve. The vast majority of solar panels do not pose a risk of chemical leaching after recycling. Outdated panels that contain lead and cadmium may still be recycled by third-party entities, ensuring safety and proper disposal.

Wind turbines stand tall on the horizon and have a sleek appearance. Their very small footprint, enables continued farming while giving landowners a weather-proof source of income. Wind project developers carefully apply setback boundaries in coordination with landowners’ needs.
Wind turbines contain impressive internal equipment, allowing for the collection and transmission of electricity. They are also equipped with Aircraft Detection Lighting Systems (ADLS), which notify nearby aircraft of their presence.

Wind turbines can function continuously. They are designed to capture wind even on calm days, ensuring that the maximum amount of energy is generated. Cold temperatures are no problem for wind turbines as they are engineered to function in temperatures as low as -22° Fahrenheit.

Wind energy brings communities greater energy independence, reliability, and affordability. These projects deliver economic vitality and create hundreds of job opportunities. Landowners enjoy stable, monthly income through land leases, and diversified income helps keep generational land in the family through diversified income. Wind energy also preserves our air and water, creating a safer, more enjoyable, and more beautiful environment for outdoor recreation.

Wind turbines have a lifespan of about 20 years on average. At the end of a wind turbine’s useful life, it is disassembled by removing the blade, tower, foundation, and other components. The site is restored to its original condition, and most parts can be recycled. Around 96% of a wind turbine is made from recyclable material. None of the decommissioning costs fall to landowners at the end of a turbine’s life.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) support the electrical grid by storing and releasing energy to help keep up with demand. Without a way to be stored, energy must be used the instant it is created. BESS give us a way to extend the benefits of renewable energy by storing up power when it’s cheapest and most abundant and then releasing that energy in periods of peak demand. In this way BESS help prevent power outages and price spikes.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) support the grid by safeguarding against power disruptions and providing stability during peak demand times. BESS help avoid price spikes due to their ability to store energy when it is abundant and release it instantaneously when that energy is needed.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have an appearance similar to that of a storage container. With their relatively low profile, they are easily blended into the local surroundings through the use of vegetative screening. BESS are most commonly located in areas with good access to transmission infrastructure.

Although Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) facilities have a humble exterior, their interior includes impressive technology. The batteries within BESS are most commonly Lithium-ion batteries that provide a safe and well-tested way to store energy. BESS also include an internal monitoring system, or Battery Management System, which monitors voltage, current, and temperature, as well as Energy Management Systems, that ensure the proper flow of energy through communication with the grid. Every BESS project must also have a Power Conversion System, which converts direct current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC), as well as an HVAC system and a fire suppression system to ensure safe operation. Lastly, every BESS project features a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System that allows all system components to work smoothly together.

Yes, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) projects are very safe. Their state-of-the-art technology allows the systems to be monitored at all times. Built-in HVAC systems ensure proper temperature, and fire suppression systems are in place to ensure safety in the unlikely event of a fire. In the rare event that a fire would occur, it would be fully contained on site and pose no risk to surrounding development. Additionally, the fact that BESS create no air or water pollution makes them a safe neighbor for communities.
