Commonly Asked Questions
-
Living by a solar project is similar to living by a farm. Unlike traditional power plants, solar projects don’t use fuel, have no emissions, and are quiet. They also have low visibility and are similar in height to a cornfield.
-
Solar projects produce minimal noise which becomes inaudible outside of the project property. Noise only occurs during plant operation and thus doesn’t occur at night.
-
Solar panels are designed to absorb sunlight. They are coated with an anti-reflective coating to minimize reflection and increase energy obtained from the sunlight. Solar panels have even been approved by the FAA for installation at airports.
-
Many people are concerned that the look of a solar project will affect their community. Vegetation barriers, such as trees and bushes, as well as property setbacks are used to reduce the visibility of the solar project.
-
Solar projects have been shown to have a negligible effect on property values. Solar projects are quiet, have a low profile, and provide higher tax revenue. You can learn more about how solar affects property values here.
-
Solar plants generally have a useful life of around 30-40 years. At the end of this time, a solar plant is decommissioned, and the land will be restored to its prior use. As a part of the lease agreement, the solar project owner is required to remove all of its equipment and panels. Bonds are secured at the beginning of the project to pay for and guarantee this removal.
