Solar deployment generates economic opportunities. ; Solar installations help maintain power through—and recover from—extreme weather and disruptions, such as cyber threats. ; Solar electricity gives you the power to own your energy production.
These resources cover a variety of topics for energy consumers including the process of choosing and installing a solar energy system and its value.
Learn solar energy technology basics: solar radiation, photovoltaics (PV), concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP), grid integration, and soft costs.
Learn the basics of how concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) works with these resources from the DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office.
The solar farm will have a capacity of approximately 100-150MW of power. Northland is becoming a solar farm hotspot and is already home to the largest farm in the country so far - Lodestone...

We've used the Sun for drying clothes and food for thousands of years, but only recently have we been able to use it for generating power. ; The Sun is 150 million kilometres away, and amazingly powerful. ; Just the tiny fraction of the Sun's energy that hits the Earth (around a hundredth of a millionth of a percent) is enough to meet all our power needs many times over.
Because the Earth is round, the sun strikes the surface at different angles, ranging from 0° (just above the horizon) to 90° (directly overhead). When the sun's rays are vertical, the Earth's surface gets all the energy possible. The more slanted the sun's rays are, the longer they travel through the atmosphere, becoming more scattered and diffuse. Because the Earth is round, the frigid polar regions never get a high sun, and because of the tilted axis of rotation, these areas receive no sun...
