PERSON COUNTY, N.C. — With the help of Raleigh, N.C.-based Progress Energy, Carolina Solar Energy will develop a solar PV facility on 4 acres of land in the Person County Business and Industrial Center, located on U.S. 501 in Person County. The facility will be used to manufacture 837,000 kilowatt-hours of solar energy during its first year of production. Carolina Solar started planning the project last year in response to Progress Energy’s call for renewable energy proposals.
