Why
Clarke
Project sites are carefully and thoughtfully chosen, located near existing energy infrastructure and where they can best benefit the electric grid.
We take into consideration the area’s solar resources and potential environmental impacts, knowing we must find landowners who choose to sell or lease their land for the life of the project.
Through careful planning and site engineering SOLAR FACILITIES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS.
1
Solar Resources
In Alabama, the solar resource that powers the project is the same sun that nourishes local farms.
2
Demand
In Alabama, solar development is being driven by cost declines and demand for carbon-free power by large commercial and industrial users.
3
Transmission
The project features access to nearby transmission lines, which lowers the cost of the energy produced by the facility and allows the project to serve homes and businesses throughout the region.
4
Environmental Evaluation
We must avoid wetlands, protected and endangered species habitats and any other areas of environmental concerns. This helps us narrow down to a preferred area in the community - we need to identify large parcels that would be suitable for the project.
5
Cultural
If cultural resources are observed, sensitive artifacts are left untouched.
6
Eager Landowners
Solar farms are located on privately-owned land either leased or purchased from willing landowners.
