Located on 1,000 acres, 138 MW North Star Solar is the largest solar plant in the Midwest and will produce enough solar capacity to power 20,000 homes. NEXTracker and Swinerton Renewable Energy teamed up to develop a special design to conquer Minnesota’s coldest winter months – yet still offer the customer the same higher energy yield single-axis trackers offer over fixed tilt systems. Completed in late 2016, North Star serves as a model for the region in both record breaking size and unique wired control system design.
