The recipient of a master's degree in accounting from the University of North Carolina, Samuel Brice Hall directs investor relations and guides the tax mitigation and conservation strategy projects team at Piedmont Private Equity, LLC. Outside of his professional pursuits, Samuel Brice Hall is interested in solar farms as an alternative source of energy.
The world's largest solar farm when it was first established in 2015, Solar Star, with 1.7 million solar panels sprawled out over 3,200 acres in Los Angeles and Kern Counties, remains the largest of its kind in the US, at least in terms of power generation; Topaz and Desert Sunlight, both of which are also located in California, are larger in overall area, but produce 550 megawatts (MW). Solar Star, meanwhile, produces nearly 580 MW of energy, which is distributed to customers by Southern California Edison. Its energy capacity is enough to power roughly 255,000 homes. A total of 650 people contributed to the building of Solar Star over a three-year period, while 15 full-time employees will contribute to maintenance efforts over the project's lifetime. The panels utilized at the site employ a single-axis tracker to maximize the amount of sunlight absorbed and are roughly 25 percent more effective than motionless panels. Solar Star's contribution to the environment is about the same as removing 108,000 vehicles from the road every year.
