Description:

"The new Silicon Valley is going to be about energy." 

This shift is evident as solar and battery storage combine, pushing renewable energy to achieve firm reliable power. Primergy Solar’s “Gemini” solar-plus-storage project sets the stage for a new era of 24x7 utility-scale solar power delivery. With nearly 700MW of solar capacity and 1400 MWh of battery storage, Gemini can supply up to 30% of Nevada’s power needs at peak, making solar a reliable, on-demand energy source that competes with traditional baseload power. 

The project’s commitment to sustainability—preserving the desert habitat and minimizing land disturbance—illustrates how renewable energy projects can harmonize technological advancement with ecological responsibility.

Adam Larner, COO of Primergy Solar, brings decades of expertise as an electrician, founder, and business owner to his work in renewables. Adam has long championed the logic and promise of sustainable energy, pushing projects that redefine industry norms and the potential of solar-plus-storage. And this interview has been possibly the longest-awaited of any Nico, our host, has pursued!
