SOLAR FARMS IN NORTH AMERICA

Facts about solar parks

At EE North America we primarily work with large-scale solar farms on land. We secure the property around the solar farm, respecting the biodiversity of the area, and we involve the local communities where we operate in our projects. In this video, you can learn more about solar cells, solar panels, and solar farms in general.

NATURE & BIODIVERSITY

Renewable energy is part of the solution

At EE North America, we are committed to fighting climate change by developing solar and wind farms, while also preserving the local ecosystems and protecting biodiversity in the areas where we operate. We recognize the importance of biodiversity and are actively contributing to the global effort to address the biodiversity crisis.

By implementing sustainable practices and engaging with local communities, we aim to minimize the environmental impact of our projects and maximize the positive effects they can have on local ecosystems. Our approach is grounded in the belief that we can make a positive impact on the planet and create a sustainable future for all. Join us in our mission to promote renewable energy and protect our planet’s biodiversity.

FAQ

How long time does it take to build a solar farm?

It takes around 76 – 104 weeks to develop a solar farm. Several parameters might delay the process of a solar farm. That will be the approval processes and the procurement and delivery of raw materials for the project. This is why the timeline differs from 76 to 104 weeks.

How much space does a typical solar farm require?

We construct solar farms on a minimum of 124 acres (50 hectares) and one of our current projects is up to 865 acres (350 hectares).

Is there any noise coming from the solar farm?

The noise from a solar farm at 754 feet, or 230 meters, is approximately 25 dB. That is comparable to the noise of a quiet bedroom.

Are solar panels dangerous for humans and animals?

Solar cells are not dangerous to humans and animals. For example, we have sheep that live at our solar farms, where they can, among other things, seek shelter from the rain, or summer sun, under the solar panels.

Are you ruining nature by setting up solar panels?

We work to take care of nature, and respect biodiversity, in the areas where we set up solar parks. Often, we replace traditional farming with our solar panels and in this way, we spare the soil from pesticides and fertilizers. In 2021, we also planted 245,000 trees as fences around our solar parks.

Is there any glare coming from the solar panels?

No, there will be no glare from the solar panels.

How tall are the solar panels typically?

A solar panel is up to 10.5 feet, or 3.2 meters, tall.
