The nearly 9,000 solar panels at PacifiCorp’s two-megawatt solar installation in Lake County have started generating electricity, the utility announced Friday. Located on 20 acres about two miles from downtown Lakeview, the Black Cap Solar Facility will produce enough electricity for about 400 average residential customers, according to a PacifiCorp news release. The project is Oregon’s first utility-scale solar installation to begin producing power, according to PacifiCorp. The inverters, the devices that convert solar power into electrical current, were made by Advanced Energy Industries in Bend.
