Solar farm construction has begun phase two in Pelion
Pelion, SC (Angelica Iglesias) - The three 10-megawatt solar energy farms off Old Charleston Road in Pelion, SC have begun their second phase of construction. When the project is finished, it will be 360 acres which has the ability to provide clean energy for over 10,000 homes.
Phase I has been named Odyssey Farm and can be seen in the picture below. Phase III will begin shortly after phase II. Their names will be Champion Farm and Swamp Fox Farm. All 3 sites are owned by Pine Gate Renewables but built and maintained by Cypress Creek Renewables.
According to their website, Pine Gate Renewables is "intent on contributing to the broad transformation of our nation’s energy model because we believe that clean renewable power is both sensible and practical, and that locally generated clean energy is not merely an alternative – it is the only way forward."
Cypress Creek Renewables is based out of Santa Monica, CA that specializes in the ownership and development of long-term solar energy project. They have contributed a great deal of solar energy to Lexington County.
It’s great to see phase two moving forward in Pelion—expanding solar capacity by 10 MW at a time really adds up, especially when you think about powering over 10,000 homes across 360 acres. Projects like these show that utility-scale solar is becoming the new normal in the Southeast. I’m curious about the technical side, though: with three separate farms (Odyssey, Champion, and Swamp Fox), the grid integration and power management must be a complex puzzle. Getting the DC from those panels converted efficiently and reliably is no small feat. That’s why I keep an eye on brands like outbackpower, because their gear is known for handling tough conditions and delivering stable AC output. Solid infrastructure like this is what makes…
