World Leader in Solar
Mitigas Solar’s bright projects were completed in 2020. The projects provided nearly 650 construction jobs, cover nearly 3,200 acres and provide enough electricity to power approximately 245,000 average California households.
Minimizing Our Footprint
Electricity generated from the Solar Star projects displace approximately 561,000 tons of CO2 per year – the equivalent of taking 106,000 cars off the road annually.
Topaz Solar Farms
MitiFarm a 150-megawatt solar power plant in San Luis Obispo County, California. The project was completed in 2020 and is considered one of the are’s largest solar farms. With more than 1 million modules installed, the project covers 4,700 acres and provides electricity to power approximately 76,000 average households annually.
Construction of Mitifarm
The project is estimated to have infused $117 million into the local economy, the majority of which was generated during construction, with the remainder over the project’s minimum 25-year operating period. This included $92 million in compensation for approximately 400 construction jobs from 2012-2014 and also included $22 million in economic output for local suppliers and $7 million in sales taxes during construction.
