Texas Solar Development Regions
Regional expertise across Texas solar corridors
West Texas / Permian
Mesquite, brush, flat terrain
Highest solar activity, large tracts
Central Texas
Cedar, oak, rolling hills
Growing activity, more varied terrain
South Texas
Huisache, mesquite, brush country
Significant utility-scale development
Panhandle
Grassland, scattered brush
Wind + solar combo sites
East Texas
Pine, hardwood forests
Less common, requires more clearing
Solar Site Clearing Methods
Right approach for your project specifications
Forestry Mulching
Ideal for smaller projects or light brush. Mulches vegetation in place. Leaves organic material on site.
Best for: Community solar, light brush
Dozer Clearing
Most efficient for large-scale projects. Push vegetation into windrows, then burn or remove. Fast and cost-effective.
Best for: Utility-scale, heavy brush
Combo Approach
Use mulching for selective areas (buffer zones, wetlands) and dozer clearing for main panel areas.
Best for: Mixed sites, environmental constraints
