CONVERTING SUNLIGHT TO CLEAN ENERGY

CONSTRUCTION COMMENCEMENT: 2028

COMMERCIAL OPERATION: 2029

Overview

54-megawatt (MWac) solar project
Located in Wayne County, Kentucky
Projected Construction Date: Q1 2028
Projected Commercial Operation Date: Q1 2029

COMMUNITY DRIVEN

Barrelhead Solar will create up to 200 construction jobs with a preference for qualified local labor. It will also generate local tax revenue, stimulate local business during construction, and enhance grid stability.

ENVIRONMENTALLY PASSIONATE

Our project will be designed utilizing available technologies to reduce grading and integrate sustainable practices like vegetation management and a pollinator habitat. After the life span of the solar project, Barrelhead Solar will be decommissioned. Panels and other project equipment will be removed from the site and the land will be restored.

Who is Barrelhead Solar?

Barrelhead Solar is a 54 MWac solar project located in Wayne County, Kentucky. Our project will convert sunlight into electricity. Barrelhead Solar will supply clean, cost-effective, and reliable power for Kentucky homes, businesses, and communities.

How does the project work?

The project will use photovoltaic solar panels that absorb energy from the sun and convert it to electricity. The solar panels are mounted on metal structures. The energy generated from the project is transferred to the grid via an existing 69 kV transmission line running through the project site.

Will the project be loud?

No. Once operational, the solar project will emit virtually no sound. The site equipment typically emits a maximum noise level below 53 decibels from 50 feet away, similar to a typical conservation. At 500 feet, the site is inaudible.

Are solar projects safe?

The equipment installed in our solar projects is rigorously tested and UL-listed. In addition, the panels themselves are sealed and made mostly of everyday materials such as glass, sand, aluminum, and copper. There are safety mechanisms installed to protect the project, the surrounding community, and the environment.
