So, what are utility scale solar farms? Think massive solar setups—not the kind you slap on a roof. These are built to send energy straight into the grid, powering entire towns.
But it’s not as simple as just plugging in panels. You need POI interconnection engineering support to tie everything safely into the power network. There’s also substation design, which handles switching and voltage levels, plus power system studies to make sure the grid can take the load.
A lot of these farms work alongside utility scale battery storage to stash energy for later. You’ll sometimes see utility scale wind farms in the mix too, using the same grid setup.
And behind it all? Careful planning. From MEP engineering to NERC compliance and even NERC Alert Level 3 IBR standards—there’s a lot that keeps things safe, stable, and running smooth.
