Solar+Storage Project In North Carolina Highlights Improvements In Panel Efficiency

Clean Technica: Cyprus Creek Renewables has partnered with LG Electronics on what is the largest solar-plus-storage installation in the continental United States. The project is located in coastal North Carolina. It’s an 8.5 megawatt series of solar installations bundled with 12 megawatt-hours of storage.

The solar generation in the system comes from nearly 22,000 of LG’s 395-watt solar panels installed across 12 different solar farms spread across southeastern North Carolina. Bundling the solar farms with storage allows Cypress Creek to offer flexible energy supply offerings to the utility. Naturally, the solar generation has the potential to shave off peak energy consumption in the heat of the day, but it can also be pushed through into high-demand evening hours and can last through cloudy periods.
