O2 emc is currently developing Bear Poplar Solar, a 3.695 MW AC (5.77 MW DC) solar farm located in Mt. Ulla, Rowan County, NC.
Bear Poplar Solar will increase the Rowan County Tax Base by over $3 million over the expected 30-year life of the project.
The above graphic shows the amount of water, coal, electricity, fuel emissions, and gasoline that would have been produced annually if the same amount of power generated by Bear Poplar Solar was produced by fossil fuels.
