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.
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.
