Local
benefits for Gibson County
Buckskin Solar supplies the area with cost-effective, American-made energy while bringing direct economic benefits to Gibson County.
Millions in property taxes over the life of the project to support local services for the county such as public safety, education, roads and first responders.
Millions in total economic activity generated during construction.
Hundreds of jobs created during construction as well as a few long-term employment opportunities.
Minimal Land Impact
Land Can be Restored for Productive Ag Use
The land can be returned to active agriculture or timber use with rejuvenated, nutrient rich soil after the life of the project.
Pollinator Habitats
Enhances and Protects the Natural Environment
While the facility is in operation, we plant ground cover to attract natural, local pollinators, which helps the surrounding environment and farms.
Respecting Views
No Impact in Rural Communities
In an analysis done of the project property, it was concluded that the solar farm will have no impact to the value of adjoining or neighboring properties.
Quiet Neighbors
Similar to the Noise of a Babbling Brook
Solar farms are quiet neighbors. At the fence line, the sound from the onsite inverters is a minor hum – equivalent to the sound of a brook. 150 feet away from the inverters, no noise can be heard.
