Vesper Solar 600 MW Texas Project

The Vesper Solar 600 MW Texas project demonstrates how an agrivoltaics mindset can unlock prime sites for solar power projects.

Developer Vesper Energy engaged with local landowners on pollinator mixes and sheep grazing for its Hornet Solar project, showcasing a harmonious coexistence between solar energy and local commerce.

A recent study by Paces highlighted the decline in prospective acreage and potential renewable project site capacity, particularly in areas like New York and Illinois.

One way to open up greenfield acreage to solar is to demonstrate how well a project can fit with the life and commerce of the region.

Vesper Energy's Hornet Solar project, commissioned last spring, is a 600 MW (AC) project that will bring 1 GW of new solar capacity and 400 MW of storage to the Texas panhandle.
