What is the actual impact of one of our solar farms? We plan on building solar farms that produce at least 2.5 megawatts per hour. Currently, 1 megawatt hour from a coal plant puts almost half a ton of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Each one of our solar farms will prevent over a ton of carbon dioxide pollution each year. For scale, a ton of carbon dioxide takes up enough room to easily fit over 1000 people in it. On average, trees take in less than 50 pounds of carbon dioxide a year. That means a solar farm prevents more than 40 trees worth of pollution. Click below to learn more.
