Mammoth Solar, a 1.3 gigawatt (GW) solar farm in northern Indiana, is now powering into its biggest construction phase yet, cementing its place as one of the largest solar projects in the US.
The solar farm is set to increase Indiana’s solar capacity by more than 20% once it’s fully online. And with construction ramping up this month, developer Doral Renewables has given Bechtel Full Notice to Proceed on the design, engineering, and construction of three major phases of the project: Mammoth South, Mammoth Central I, and Mammoth Central II. Together, these phases will generate 900 MW of clean energy.
That’s enough electricity to power around 200,000 homes with clean energy, helping Indiana shift away from fossil fuels while boosting the local economy.

That’s one of the many Myths about solar energy as home panels do work on cloudy days and a solar farm of this magnitude would have to consider that before reaching this phase .

excess is made during the day, stored for night in batteries, even with clouds, excess is possible. the panels get more efficient every day. as do battery systems, and electronics in general. obviously wouldnt work great at the bottom of the sea or in a cave a thousand miles below the surface. but solar has its place, and should be utilised when necessary, where it works best or at least can reduce costs and environmental impact over a period of time.
nothing wrong with that.

Solar works also when it is cloudy. It just délivrer les energy.
I’ve got a 9.9kwh install on my roof in Seattle and it was mostly cloudy today and I produced 55.7kwh today, which far exceeds my daily usage.

You and @Mihies@programming.dev can find more info about the project including many more articles on their website . The company is responsible for the world’s largest solar project . Do you have anything to support your arguments? You have been presented with counter arguments and not provided any info . Why do you think they wouldn’t have considered clouds in Indiana?
