How do you decide where to build solar farms?

We look for areas that are relatively flat and receive a large amount of sunlight that are free of obstructions that create shade such as trees or buildings.

When deciding where to build solar farms, we look for areas that receive a large amount of sunlight and are free of trees, buildings, and other obstructions that create shade. The land also needs to be somewhat flat to support a ground-mounted system. Landowners and building owners often contact us about adding a farm to their property, but as developers, we must adhere to specific regulations and requirements.

Sometimes a project requires alterations to the natural landscape so the solar farm operates as efficiently as possible, but PureSky always assesses the affects and compares them to the long-term benefits the solar farm will have on the environment. Additionally, since projects have a lifespan of 25-40 years, we create decommissioning plans for the eventual removal of a project when the time comes.
