Solar Power
40g CO2/kWh
Significant Carbon Reduction
Our solar farms dramatically reduce carbon emissions compared to fossil fuel energy generation, with a lifecycle carbon footprint that's up to 95% lower than coal-powered electricity.
Each 1MW of solar capacity prevents approximately 1,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually, equivalent to taking 217 cars off the road or planting 16,000 trees.
Water Conservation
Unlike conventional power plants that require significant water for cooling, our solar farms operate with minimal water usage, typically only needing occasional panel cleaning.
A 100MW solar farm saves approximately 16 million gallons of water annually compared to a coal power plant of equivalent capacity—equivalent to the annual water usage of about 180 average U.S. households.

annual community benefits per 100MW
Community Economic Benefits
Our solar projects generate substantial economic benefits for local communities, including significant tax revenue that supports schools, infrastructure, and public services.
A typical 100MW solar farm generates approximately $2.5 million in annual property tax revenue over its operational lifetime, while creating both short-term construction jobs and long-term maintenance employment opportunities.
Sustainable Development Commitment
Beyond clean energy production, our projects incorporate responsible land management practices, habitat preservation strategies, and agricultural co-location opportunities to maximize environmental benefits.
