2 Massive Solar and Battery Storage Projects Get Online: 500 MW Capacity

November 9, 2023

In a significant boost to renewable energy infrastructure, Riverside County, California, has brought two substantial solar and battery storage projects online. The Oberon Solar Project, a 500-megawatt photovoltaic facility, includes up to 250 megawatts of battery storage and can power 146,000 homes.  

The Arlington Solar Energy Center, occupying about 2,500 acres, generates 364 megawatts and can supply energy to 111,000 homes annually, with an additional 242 megawatts of battery energy storage. These projects are part of the Biden administration's broader initiative to permit 25 gigawatts of clean energy on public lands by 2025.  

The advancements in the next-generation solar cell market, expected to grow from $3.0 billion in 2023 to $7.4 billion by 2028 at a CAGR of 19.5%, underscore the significance of these projects. They not only contribute to the surging demand for renewable energy but also align with technological advancements in solar cells that promise higher efficiency and lower production costs.  

These developments are pivotal for the energy sector, signaling a shift towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly power sources, and they play a crucial role in meeting the energy needs of a significant number of households while supporting the growth of the next-generation solar cell market.
