Tall Pines Solar is a 2,022 acre, approximately 218 MWAC solar PV facility in Charlotte County, Virginia.
The site was acquired under long-term lease agreements for solar electricity power generation with multiple landowners. The project holds all the zoning and environmental permits needed to construct and operate this project, including a wetlands delineation, a threatened and endangered species review, and a cultural, archaeological, and historical review.
The project will use bi-facial solar modules with high-efficiency PV cells that are optimized for utility-scale solar photovoltaic projects. Central inverters will minimize operations and maintenance costs and improve the efficiency of the overall plant. The modules will be mounted to a single-axis tracking system that is optimized for use with bi-facial panels to increase the system’s capacity factor.
The project will interconnect to Dominion’s 115 kV transmission system that traverses the site. The project filed an interconnection application with PJM in March of 2021 (Queue Position AG2-440 and AG2-441). The project is expected to sign its Interconnection Services Agreement and Interconnection Construction Services Agreement in late 2026.
