Why
Clay
As we approached the region for a solar farm, we choose a location CAREFULLY AND THOUGHTFULLY. Origis solar projects are located near existing energy infrastructure and where they can best benefit the electric grid.
​
Project development teams consider the area’s solar resources, evaluate potential environmental impacts, and find landowners who want to sell or lease their land for the
project.
Through careful planning and site engineering SOLAR FACILITIES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS.
1
Solar Resources
Origis doesn’t just look at traditionally sunny states like Florida or California. In fact, Mississippi also has significant solar resources – the same sun that powers local farms and ranches.
2
Demand
There needs to be a demand for electricity and an interest in purchasing renewable energy. Much of the demand in the southeast is driven by TVA, which has recently increased solar contracts by 60%. TVA’s “Green Invest” program provides businesses with access to renewable energy to power their operations.
3
Energy Infrastructure
The project features access to nearby transmission lines, which lowers the cost of the energy produced by the facility and allows the project to serve customers throughout the region.
4
Environmental Evaluation
Wetlands, protected species and critical habitats are all thoroughly documented and avoided when siting a potential project.
5
Eager Landowners
Local landowners who might be willing to sell or lease their property are identified.
