SITE STUDY

Welcome to Mining the Sun! We aim explore both large-scale solar farms and small-scale opportunities like parking lots and rooftops. In Albemarle County, projects like Woodridge Solar, Ivy Landfill Solar, Midway Solar, and Rivanna Solar are setting examples for using rural land for solar energy. However, we believe it's crucial to not only use the green fields but also focus on grey fields—already developed spaces like parking lots and rooftops.
