Northwest Photovoltaic Wind Power Storage

The Northwest Needs More Midsize Solar

Distributed Solar Is Still A Good IdeaThe Big Opportunity Is Midsize SolarIdaho and Washington Restrict Midsize Solar Growth in Two Big WaysPrioritizing midsize commercial scale solar projects in the range of 1–5 MW can help alleviate the high costs of distributed systems. These projects, like the one IKEA installed on its rooftop in Renton, Washington (see below), cost roughly twice the amount of utility-scale ones, while small, residential-scale solar systems cost roughly triple.
