Description

Description	The Mesquite Solar Complex in Arlington, Arizona, is one of the largest photovoltaic installations in the United States. It began in 2011 and has grown through five sequential development phases, currently delivering roughly 530 MW of solar capacity with a 70 MW / 280 MWh battery system. The complex is still expanding, with a 52.5 MW solar project and a 10 MW (40 MWh) battery system added in 2024, and additional parcels approved for utility-scale solar development. The complex and adjacent projects could eventually approach 750 MW of combined solar capacity, making it one of the largest solar hubs in the country.
