The facility is expected to have an installled capacity of 100MW and will be the company’s first large solar project.
Strata Solar Marketing and Sales vice president Blair Schooff said that the new project will help the company reduce costs in the future.
"One of the ways to do that is to do one 100-MW project instead of 12 6.4-MW jobs. Each job, in isolation, has a lot of soft costs," explained Schooff.
Strata Solar CEO Markus Wilhelm added, "The addition of a solar farm of this magnitude solidifies North Carolina as a player in the national solar landscape.
"This project also extends beyond the state with significant implications across the East Coast, and represents another example of Strata Solar’s commitment to providing a wealth of clean energy to the country."
Strata Solar has about 100MW of solar capacity in the state and plans to add an addition 140MW capacity in 2013.
