The most plentiful energy source sits above our heads every day, and since the invention of the first solar cell in 1883, we’ve been working to harness the sun’s energy.
Today, it’s easy to spot solar farms from a mile away, often looking like a lake in the distance. Spread out through open fields are rows and rows of photovoltaic modules, colloquially called solar panels.
Enel, an international renewable energy company, began development of the Lily Solar and battery storage site in Kaufman County, Texas, in 2020. Today, it operates 421,400 panels on 1,400 acres just outside Scurry, a town of 690 residents about 40 miles southeast of Dallas.
