Small‑Scale Solar Siting: What You Need to Know
Turn idle acres into power: site and size solar arrays right, tap tax credits, slash bills, and boost land value with decades of clean energy income.

Solar projects can generally be placed in two buckets: they are either large utility-scale ground mounted projects connected to the grid, or they are smaller, distributed projects,
Looking to go solar? While small-scale solar delivers the best results with the least life-cycle impact, a mixed approach offers the best long-term path towards an all-electric future.
In fact, about one-third of solar energy in the United States is produced by small-scale solar, such as rooftop installations. Household solar installations are called behind-the-meter solar; the
To achieve sustainability goals while meeting the increasing electricity demands of electrification, organizations are pairing on-site solar PV generation with on-site energy storage.
Small scale solar is all about decentralized solar energy systems, usually set up for individual buildings, businesses, or a community. These systems focus on local energy
We define small-scale solar systems as those with generating capacity of less than one megawatt (MW). Residential small-scale solar
Onsite solar is an asset located where the renewable energy generated will also be consumed. There are three main types of onsite solar: rooftop, ground-mount, and carport.
It involves setting up renewable energy systems like solar panels, wind turbines, or small-scale hydroelectric generators to generate electricity on-site. This approach is gaining
We define small-scale solar systems as those with generating capacity of less than one megawatt (MW). Residential small-scale solar systems are typically installed on rooftops;
It involves the deployment of solar panels or photovoltaic (PV) modules on rooftops, parking lots, or other available spaces on the property. On-site solar installations can vary in size, from
