Utility Scale PV Solar Plants are appearing throughout the nation as the push for renewable energy takes its initial actionable steps towards a greener future. Solar farms are producing energy via the use of Photovoltaic energy systems, which capture the suns energy through solar irradiance. Energy production is the crucial factor that decides how profitable a farm is, and by maximizing this production, solar companies greatly increase the profitability of their investment.



Despite concerns over supply chain interruptions and tariff investigations, the U.S. solar industry saw record solar and energy storage demand in 2021. STG Solar can attest to this, having one of its busiest years yet. Solar Power World has recognized the company's installation success with a North Carolina ranking of no. 7 and a national ranking of no. 44 on the 2022 Top Solar Contractors list.



The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association is predicting 14 to 21 named storms this hurricane season. That means your solar farm could face damage risks 14 to 21 times over a five-month period. Over 15% of solar farm maintenance records mention hurricane damage. Between low energy production from cloud cover and direct damage to panels, racking, and substations, the real threat of hurricane season shouldn't be ignored.


As of June 7, the Current Administration has declared a two-year tariff exemption on solar panels from Southeast-Asia in an attempt to expedite climate change goals. The Defense Production Act and additional executive actions is the result of several complaints from the solar industry regarding slowed production rates due to supply chain issues caused by the Commerce Department's scrutiny of possible trade violations with Chinese imports.
