Duke Energy and National Gypsum are collaborating on a solar panel array. the Panels are on a Nationa Gypsum faciltiy and owned by Duke Energy. The relationship goes beyond PV panels as waste from coal plants is used as a raw material for gypsum board.Duke Energy has leased part of the roof of a National Gypsum facility in Mt Holly NC to use for a solar array. The output is 1.17 mW - equivalent to the power needs of 700 homes.
"
... 5096 panels ... Duke Energy will own, operate, and maintain all
components of the system. The lease agreement is for 25 years."
" ... National Gypsum has contracts to purchase byproduct gypsum ... from four of the utility’s nearby coal-fired plants."
