# Oklahoma Expands Solar Capacity with 100 MW Kiowa County Project
Oklahoma is making a significant leap forward in solar energy with the completion of the 100 MW Kiowa County Solar Project. This project plays a vital role in expanding the state’s renewable energy portfolio, bringing much-needed additional capacity to an area that has historically ranked low in solar adoption.
### A Boost to Oklahoma’s Solar Industry
The state currently ranks 40th in the nation for total installed solar capacity, with only 376 MW deployed before this project. Adding 100 MW from the Kiowa County site represents a major step forward for solar companies looking to develop in Oklahoma.
The solar array for home and utility use is growing as demand increases for renewable options. With its vast land availability and abundant sunshine, Oklahoma has the potential to become a more significant player in the solar industry. Increased large-scale solar adoption can encourage solar companies to expand residential offerings, making it easier for homeowners to install solar panels for their homes.
### Key Features of the Kiowa County Solar Project
Covering 1,235 acres, this expansive project includes **over 189,000 advanced bifacial solar panels** mounted on a tracking system that follows the sun’s movement. These
