The idea of a solar project reliably powering a city like Las Vegas may sound ambitious, if not impossible, but… It’s here. Primergy Solar’s Gemini project is proving that clean, renewable electrons can deliver firm dispatchable power.  Gemini’s 1.8 million solar panels generate up to 690 megawatts, powering approximately 10% of Nevada’s peak power demand (and up to 30%!!). The project is paired with 380 MW of battery storage to provide the State with 1,400 MWh of power after sundown. And the DC-coupled storage configuration means the battery can charge directly from the solar panels! Adam Larner, COO of Primergy Solar, joins NICO JOHNSON 🎙️ to discuss Gemini’s impact—from innovative land preservation to setting new standards for reliable, large-scale solar power. Tune-in to learn: ⚡ How Gemini preserved 98% of its 6,500-acre site, establishing a protected habitat for the Mojave desert tortoise 🐢 ⚡ Why battery storage makes solar competitive with fossil fuels for reliable power ⚡ The role of natural gas as a necessary complement to renewables, providing backup power and stability as solar and battery technologies scale up ⚡ How Gemini's success has become a unifying moment for the solar industry, inspiring collaboration and a shared sense of purpose 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁?  What other projects should we be highlighting?  Tag the developer below so we can reach out! 👇 #RenewableEnergy #Solar #EnergyStorage #Sustainability #CleanEnergy
