State’s biggest solar farm set

Strata Solar is working with the Tennessee Valley Authority and Pickwick Electric Cooperative to develop the two largest solar energy installations in the state near Selmer, Tenn. The 20-megawatt solar farms will generate more than twice the output of the 33-acre solar farm at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, currently Tennessee’s biggest solar array. The new farm in Selmer will include 160,000 solar panels installed on more than 300 acres.

“We are thrilled to be working with TVA and PEC on these pioneering solar projects,” said Markus Wilhelm, founder and CEO of Strata Solar.
