Understanding Solar Farms, Nevada Will go 100% Renewable

There are two main types of solar installations, solar rooftops and solar farms. We help you get a grasp on solar farms. Solar farms are a big part of the answer in places like Nevada, which just upped its renewable portfolio standard to 100% by 2050. We also look at how Tesla’s electric vehicle chargers stack up to other EV chargers. Solar farms or solar parks are essentially large-scale solar installations that are somewhat decentralized. They’re used by utilities and customers in a region to generate power for the grid and are helping bring down energy costs across the country. Unlike a rooftop solar installation solar farms are much larger, with some being as large as 100s of megawatts. There are also community solar farms. Community solar farms are usually smaller than the largest utility-scale solar farms. But they directly benefit people who invest in them, allowing them to buy a small portion of the larger farm and use that energy to lower their electric bills.
