SolarIndianaUnited States of America

IMPA Anderson Solar Park 2 is a 8 MW solar power plant in Indiana, United States of America. It is operated by Indiana Municipal Power Agency. Based on reported annual generation of 14 GWh, it can supply roughly 3,942 homes. It ranks #4933 of 9,833 United States of America power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2018, it is around 8 years old — recently built. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. 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 40.1°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

Heating degree-days here run 28% 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: 67/100 — 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).
