Installing solar can assist your company in meeting both its financial and sustainability goals. Whether you’re looking to save money, maximize return on investment, or reduce your carbon footprint, the size of your solar array can play an integral part in achieving your desired outcome. When considering solar as an investment, it is critical to understand how many panels you will require.

At the end of their lifespan, landfills are typically capped and grassed over, but they remain contaminated, unstable, and unsuitable for development. These capped landfills are referred to as “Brownfield sites”, which are defined as any former industrial or commercial site whose future use is affected by real or perceived environmental contamination. However, by installing solar farms on retired landfills, Brownfields can be turned into what are known as “Brightfields”, defined by the U.S. Department of Energy as any solar project built on a brownfield site. Brightfields are becoming increasingly popular and provide many benefits to the surrounding communities.

Solar energy is becoming increasingly widespread as the world works to move away from fossil fuels. Solar is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source available, with more energy from the Sun hitting the Earth in just one hour than is used by everyone in the world for an entire year. Over the last decade, the solar market has grown at a rate of 33% each year, with more than 130 GW of solar panels having been installed in the US, enough to power 23 million households. Some of the main reasons industries, businesses, and homeowners are switching to solar include diversifying their energy sources, improving their efficiency, and saving money. It is important to understand the fundamentals of solar so you can feel empowered to join the renewable energy movement.
