Utility-Scale Solar Constructions Projects Africa » Nativesunsllc

A utility-scale solar plant is a large-scale solar power plant that uses photovoltaic power stations or concentrated solar power to create energy. Generating utility-scale solar power is one of the most efficient methods to cut carbon emissions and may help a state move toward a greener environment.

 

During heavy demand periods, when power from carbon fuels is most expensive, utility-scale solar facilities also give the benefit of fixed-priced electricity. They produce employment throughout the supply chain, from research and development to manufacturing, project finance through design and expansion.

ENERGY

Utility-scale solar projects with a capacity of more than 37,000 megawatts (MW) are already operational, with the other 112,000 MW in the pipeline.

ENERGY

Utility-scale To control evening energy spikes, offer backup power, and more, solar may be used with energy storage.

ENERGY

Only 11% of utility-scale solar contracts signed in 2018 were under a mandatory renewable portfolio requirement, whereas more than 80% were negotiated through a utility or corporate off-voluntary taker's procurement.

Mini-Grid solar is fantastic, quickly deployable solution to power or supplements rural areas where an established power grid is not accessible. Application of either Utility scale vs Mini-grid generally is dependent on overall customer needs.
 

The payout for our future, on the other hand, is evident, which is why we must begin now. If we work together, we can green the grid and provide sustainable energy access at scale.

Benefits

Benefits of utility-scale solar construction projects 

The most common use for utility-scale is to keep electricity costs stable over extended periods of time (10 to 30 years or more). The cost of solar energy is significantly more constant than the cost of fossil fuels, which fluctuates often. It's a triple threat, with excellent affordability, grid dependability, and environmental advantages.

Traditional energy sources, such as fossil fuels, are worse for the environment than utility-scale solar systems. The release of hazardous carbon emissions into the atmosphere from the combustion of fossil fuels contributes to climate change. Emissions of nitrogen from such fuels might potentially be harmful to one's health. Solar energy might be harnessed by communities with limited access to electrical sources, keeping the grid clean and creating minimal environmental impact.

Solar panels have the potential to boost a community's economic activities. Utility-scale solar construction projects can produce local construction employment and send business to suppliers in maintenance and operation since the project's size necessitates a diverse set of service providers. Solar installations also provide more tax money for local governments. Because utility-scale solar has a long lifespan, this might result in a significant increase in tax income.

Overall, utility-scale solar construction projects are the future and are playing a vital role in preserving the resources. 

About the Ventress solar farm project

SITE SELECTION & PRELIMINARY DESIGN

STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH

PERMITTING & ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

LAND MANAGEMENT & BIODIVERSITY PLANNING

FINAL ENGINEERING, FINANCING & CONSTRUCTION

In developing the project, NativeSuns, LLC. adheres to the ordinances adopted by the Sovereign Government that provide local regulatory control over solar farms. Key elements of the ordinance, which complement our best practices for solar farm development, include:

​

  • adding buffer zones of greenspace with trees and shrubs between the solar panels and public view,

  • addressing maintenance and upkeep of the facility,

  • making sure appropriate drainage and traffic mitigation are provided, and

  • stipulating how the site would be decommissioned at its end of life.

​

Buffer zones will include a setback of not less than 300 feet from the center of any adjacent public roadway, along with a setback of at least 150 feet from any residence and 50 feet from any adjacent property line.

​

A long-term land maintenance plan for the site will be shared with the community to guarantee the highest productivity from the farm, and to ensure it blends with the aesthetic character of the area.
