Vesper Energy is excited to share that it has successfully installed more than 1 million solar panels at its Hornet Solar project in Swisher County, Texas. With a total of 1.36 million panels to be installed, this marks an important milestone in the project’s progress. Once completed, the Hornet Solar project will be one of the largest single-phase solar installations in the United States. Covering more than six square miles, the project will generate 600 MWac of clean energy, enough to power 160,000 homes each year.
Juan Suarez, Co-CEO at Vesper Energy, mentioned, “The milestone is a testament to the hard work and seamless coordination between our team, onsite members, and our EPC partner, Blattner Energy. This achievement brings us one step closer to realizing the full potential of Hornet Solar as a transformative renewable energy asset.”
The Hornet Solar project uses advanced bifacial solar panels mounted on a single-axis tracking system to boost energy efficiency and output. It connects to Oncor Electric’s transmission system within ERCOT and has agreements to supply power to four different partners through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). The project is on schedule to be fully operational by spring 2025.
