Produce Power For Your Community

Ecovis Specializes in Solar Farm Installation & Maintenance

A Solar farms often referred to as solar parks or photovoltaic power stations, are a large array of ground-mounted solar panels in one location that supply electricity to many homes via the utilities power grid. As a small power plant, solar farms are are used by utilities to sell low cost electricity to local businesses and residents.

Solar Farms vs Rooftop Solar Systems

Vacant land is oftentimes used to build utility size solar farms.  Solar panels are installed on ground mounts.  The ground mounts can be stationary or articulating. 

The solar panels work by converting solar energy into electric power.  The solar power generated is funneled into the utility grid. The electricity company then pays the owner for the power the farm generates.

Developers are building larger and larger solar fields.   Purchasing in bulk drives the installation price lower.  The lower installation price allows the final owner to sell the electricity at a lower rate.

Solar farms are very efficient because of the way they are designed.  Developers can point the solar panels in the direction that generates the most electricity. 

Maintenance of the solar farms is important for the efficient and continuous production of the solar power.
