EMC SOLAR SITES
Solar sites, oftentimes covering many acres, are made up of interconnected solar panels that work together to capture sunlight and turn it into large amounts of electricity. The power generated is distributed by your local EMC through the power grid, along with other energy sources.
Georgia’s EMCs lead the nation among electric cooperatives for solar capacity, with more than 1,500 megawatts online today and another 770 megawatts under construction.
