Solar For All Angles. Back in my IPP days it was always tricky to find the right piece of flat, square land for the solar farms. It was even worse when the development required more capex in civil work and compliance with various draining and environmental remediation for the property. If you’ve been on a piece of land that had civil works done to it, you know you hope that it didn’t rain on ribbon cutting day or you better have some tall mud boots. I’m proud to see Nevados innovation get some public recognition as the tracker company that has seen this problem for nearly a decade, with the award coming from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. Obviously, I’m a biased board observer and investor of Nevados but this award comes from a third party so I get to throw some confetti for them here as well.
