READ MOREFor Urban Grid, utility-scale solar projects are 20MW or greater in size, which is enough energy to power thousands of homes or major manufacturing facilities. Our definition of utility-scale solar is driven primarily by the business opportunity. Unlike "behind the meter" projects that can offset the retail electricity rate, projects 20 MW
READ MOREUtility-scale solar refers to solar power facilities that generate electricity and supply it to the grid for utilities. These facilities typically have a power purchase agreement with utilities, ensuring a market for their energy production. Utility-scale solar projects can range in size, with some definitions suggesting a minimum of 1 to 10
READ MOREA study released today by economists at The Brattle Group finds that utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the U.S. are significantly more cost effective than residential-scale (rooftop) PV systems as a vehicle for achieving the economic and policy benefits of PV solar.
