Solar Explained
If you want to learn more about how solar photovoltaic (PV) panels convert sunlight into electricity, this is a good place to start!
​
Panel Composition

Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are composed of monocrystalline solar cells confined between glass with a metal frame. The silicon, glass, and metal framing used in the manufacture of solar panels are non-toxic. The interior components of a PV solar panel consist of solidified materials that won't ever leak liquid or gaseous materials into their surroundings, causing no harm to humans nor the environment.
Land Stewardship
Wood Duck Solar will maintain and protect the leased land during the life of the Project, after which it will revert to the owner’s control and be available again for traditional farming after full decommissioning of the site. Solar development and traditional agricultural can co-exist side-by-side, and increasingly are found together. Responsible solar development provides benefits to both agriculture and local ecosystems by improving soil health over time, increasing biodiversity, retaining water and topsoil with deep-rooted vegetation, and nurturing native pollinators which support local food production.
Greenfield Solar Development
Wood Duck Solar is an exclusive solar development focused on utility-scale operations. Situated on a vast 2,300-acre site in Barren County, Kentucky, this initiative aims to produce 100 MW of sustainable energy while providing a noteworthy economic boost of $130 million to the local community.
The purpose of a utility-scale solar facility is to generate electricity on a large scale, with the goal of providing clean, renewable energy to a utility or a grid. These facilities can help to reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality, and increase energy independence. Overall, the purpose of a utility-scale solar facility is to provide a reliable and sustainable source of electricity that can help to meet the growing energy demands of modern society, while also reducing the impact of human activity on the environment.
