Once fully operational, the Hornet Solar project will deliver 600 MWac of renewable energy—enough to power 160,000 homes annually.
IRVING, Tx. — 1/30/2025 – Vesper Energy is proud to announce that its Hornet Solar project installed its final module (more than 1.36 million). This accomplishment marks a significant milestone for Vesper Energy’s flagship renewable energy project, which spans over six square miles in Swisher County, Texas.
Once fully operational, the Hornet Solar project will deliver 600 MWac of renewable energy—enough to power 160,000 homes annually.
“The seamless coordination between our team and our EPC partner, Blattner, has enabled us to remain ahead of schedule and on budget while ensuring quality throughout the process,” said Juan Suarez, Co-CEO at Vesper Energy. “Most notably, the team accomplished this task with zero recordable injuries, underscoring a commitment to safety and excellence.”
The Hornet Solar project features bifacial photovoltaic modules mounted on a single-axis tracking system.
