**How Solar Panels for Your Home Illuminate the Path to Sustainability: Lessons from a Groundbreaking Solar Project**
As someone deeply passionate about renewable energy, I love hearing success stories where solar power takes center stage. Recently, a project in North Kingstown, Rhode Island caught my attention—an ambitious collaboration between a solar company, renewable energy experts, and Brown University. This project not only highlights the transformative potential of solar energy but also serves as an inspiring case study for homeowners, businesses, and communities curious about solar arrays for home or large-scale projects.
### **Scaling Solar: A 66.8 Million kWh Triumph**
The Dry Bridge Solar facility is a shining example of how solar companies can innovate and overcome major challenges. The facility comprises four co-located 10 MW solar arrays, housing an incredible 117,210 solar panels on a rehabilitated brownfield site spanning 240 acres. Once a gravel pit, this site has been converted into one of Rhode Island’s most powerful solar generation projects, delivering 66.8 million kWh of clean energy annually—equivalent to powering a significant portion of Brown University.
This milestone supports both Brown’s ambitious goal to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions on campus by 2040 and Rhode Island’s vision
