Why
Alachua
Project sites are carefully and thoughtfully chosen, located near existing energy infrastructure and where they can best benefit the electric grid.
We take into consideration the area’s solar resources, consider potential local environmental and cultural impacts, knowing we must find landowners who are willing to sell or lease their land for the life of the project.
The new proposed project location follows all guidelines from the community agreement with neighboring Archer residents.
Through careful planning and site engineering SOLAR FACILITIES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS.
THANK YOU ARCHER!
Thank you to the residents of Archer that worked in good faith to find a mutually agreeable solution. We were proud to announce that an agreement was made that respects the community and allows for a new site to be identified in Alachua County.

Solar Resources
In Florida, 237 days of sunshine each year provides a powerful source of sunlight for solar farms throughout the state to diversify energy options, increase the reliability of the energy grid and lower overall energy costs.
2
Demand
Gainesville has committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045
3
Energy Infrastructure
The project features access to a nearby substation, which lowers the cost of the energy produced by the facility and allows the project to serve customers throughout the region.

Environmental Evaluation
During the siting of a project, careful consideration is given to all environmental resources like wetlands, protected species, and habitat.
