SolarOhioUnited States of AmericaCO₂ reported

DG AMP Solar Orrville 3 is a 2 MW solar power plant in Ohio, United States of America. It is operated by DG AMP Solar LLC. Based on reported annual generation of 3 GWh, it can supply roughly 942 homes. It ranks #7557 of 9,833 United States of America power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2018, it is around 8 years old — recently built. Its measured emissions of 139,175 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 32,442 cars driven for a year. In context, solar supplies about 8.6% of United States of America's electricity; the national grid averages 384 gCO₂/kWh (43.0% low-carbon) (2025).

Local climate & thermal context

This solar plant converts sunlight directly into electricity with photovoltaic panels. It sits in a hot-summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 40.9°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 35% above the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.

Climate heat-demand index: 71/100 — this site sits in the top third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.

In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.

Solar PV loses ~0.35%/°C above 25°C cell temperature — roughly 0.0% at warm-season highs here (estimate).
