Cornwall Solar Center LLC - 5 MW Solar PV Facility in the United States

Cornwall Solar Center LLC is a solar photovoltaic (PV) facility located in the United States, with coordinates 36.3669, -78.6261. The plant has a capacity of 5 megawatts (MW) and is currently operational. It is owned by SRE Utility Solar 1 LLC, a company active in the solar energy sector. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, which includes the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and various state-level Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS). Solar PV is a dominant technology in the U.S. renewable energy mix, and plants of this scale (5 MW) are typical for community or commercial solar installations, contributing to distributed generation. The plant's location in the southeastern U.S. benefits from high solar irradiance, supporting efficient energy generation. As a solar facility, it helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and supports grid stability by providing clean electricity. The project aligns with national goals to increase renewable energy penetration and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

The facility is situated in a region with ample sunlight, typical of the southeastern United States, which supports efficient solar energy generation. Solar PV installations like this one have minimal visual and land-use impact compared to other energy sources, though they require land clearing. The plant contributes to reducing local air pollution and carbon emissions, supporting broader environmental goals.
