### What Makes the Fox Squirrel Solar Project Unique?
This massive solar array represents a bold step toward ensuring a sustainable future, setting benchmarks for other utility-scale solar farms. The project relies on 1.4 million solar panels paired with 159 inverters to deliver clean energy to Amazon through a power purchase agreement (PPA). For those unfamiliar, a PPA is an innovative arrangement within the solar industry that allows a solar company or developer to build and maintain a solar energy system on behalf of a client. The client, in turn, benefits from predictable energy costs and, often, reduced electricity bills over the duration of the agreement.
For homeowners looking to replicate this type of clean energy solution on a
