Solar

Solar panels harness the energy from sunlight and turn it into sustainable electricity. Solar power uses a limitless, renewable resource and doesn’t use water or create pollution. Paired with energy storage such as Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), we can enhance the use of solar by adding additional energy into the local electrical grid, making it stronger, more stable and secure. BESS bridges the gap between peak solar production during the daytime and peak energy usage in the evening, resulting in an increased supply of sustainable electricity for both families and businesses.

Solar energy is widely regarded as among the safest forms of utility-scale electricity generation. Solar panels are quiet, with few moving parts, and silicon-based solar panels contain no hazardous waste. Further, all utility-scale electric generation facilities are heavily regulated at the local, state, and federal level to ensure that they operate in a safe and reliable manner.
