Solar energy centers support local economies

We design, build and operate solar energy centers that are the most respectful neighbors possible, while benefitting the local economy and the natural environment. They require little to no public services, bring no additional traffic to the areas they operate in following construction and generate zero-emissions energy. In addition to tax revenue for local communities, these sites create jobs during construction, benefitting local economies as crews use local goods and services, whenever possible.

Job creation

Every solar energy center creates about 200 jobs at peak construction and provides an economic boost to local businesses through the purchase of goods and services. Additionally, our construction contractors will typically host local job fairs and purchase local resources whenever possible.

Increased tax revenue

Each solar energy center generates hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax revenue each year for the counties where they operate. Over a solar site’s life span, that equates to millions of tax dollars to help meet local needs.

No impact on property values

Studies show that universal solar energy centers have no negative effects on surrounding property values. We design our solar energy centers with our neighbors in mind. Each solar site operates virtually unmanned, which means there's no increase to local traffic for the nearby communities.

Economic development opportunities

Renewable energy is becoming an increasing draw for large companies and a significant factor for job-creators. This means our solar energy centers can also serve as catalysts for economic development.
