The Bright Future For Solar In Tennessee

Volkswagen Chattanooga Solar Park

When Silicon Ranch - based in Nashville - built a solar farm here in Chattanooga eight years ago, it was the largest solar power facility in Tennessee.

The 65-acre farm helped to make the Volkswagen plant here the greenest car plant in the world at that time.

Now, Silicon Ranch is building a new complex in Jackson, Tennessee - to power Facebook’s data center in Gallatin - and this solar complex will be nearly ten times the size of the Chattanooga farm.

Matt Kisber is co-founder and chairman of Silicon Ranch.
