Each project is different, but typically a solar project will generate steady and significant new tax revenues that support infrastructure, local schools, and other community identified priorities, both immediately and for the long-term, while requiring little to no county services in return and helping to keep taxes low for homeowners. A solar farm will also mean a large capital investment in the community that creates construction and operations jobs and increased business for local services like hotels and restaurants, strengthens the regional economy and workforce, and often helps attract more investment that brings even more jobs and tax revenues for decades to come. A solar farm in your community also means more reliable electric service for homes and businesses and increased stability for the regional electric grid. Adding solar power helps diversify the energy mix and therefore helps reduce reliance on any single source of energy, while decreasing carbon emissions.
