Vesper Solar 600 MW Texas project shows how an agrivoltaics mindset can unlock prime sites
Suitable sites for hosting utility-scale solar power projects are becoming scarce. A study by Paces found that prospective acreage and potential renewable project site capacity are in decline in areas like New York and Illinois.
Developer Vesper Energy has found a way to address this issue by engaging with local landowners and incorporating agrivoltaics into their projects. For example, the Hornet Solar project in Texas involved working with local landowners on pollinator mixes and sheep grazing.
- The Hornet Solar project is a 600 MW (AC) solar power project in Texas.
- Vesper Energy has planned a trio of projects that will bring 1 GW of new solar capacity and 400 MW of storage to the Texas panhandle.
By demonstrating how well a project can fit with the life and commerce of the region, developers can open up greenfield acreage to solar.
