READ MORE1. Understanding utility-scale solar power plants: Utility-scale solar power plants, sometimes referred to as solar farms, are vast commercial solar installation that generate electricity to be sold to utilities, rather than for individual residential or smaller-scale commercial use. Typically, these solar projects involve hundreds or thousands
READ MOREUtility-scale (27%) and distributed (22%) solar accounted for a combined 49% of all capacity added to U.S. grids in 2022 (ahead of wind''s 22%). Solar has contributed >40% of all new capacity for the past 2 years, >30% in 6 of the last 7
READ MOREUtility-scale refers to electrical plant or equipment, whose operation, as an individual entity would cause a noticeable change in the operation of a utility. [citation needed] For example, a single domestic PV panel, on its own has no discernible effect on the operation of a power network. A 1 MW installation can impact on local voltage, and

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. This study, "Comparative Generation Costs of Utility-Scale and
READ MOREWhile utility-scale solar energy is important for reducing dependence on fossil fuels, solar arrays use significant amounts of land (about 5 acres per MW of capacity) and may create local land use disamenities. This paper seeks to quantify the externalities from nearby solar arrays using the hedonic method. We study the states of
