Project Background
The Gemini Solar + Storage Project, located approximately 30 miles northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, stands as one of the largest and most advanced solar-plus-storage installations in the United States. Developed by Primergy Solar in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management and the Moapa Band of Paiutes, this $1.2 billion infrastructure investment exemplifies collaborative efforts toward a sustainable energy future.
Shoals Technologies Group contributed to the project’s success by supplying our patented flagship Big Lead Assembly (BLA) as the Electrical Balance of Systems (EBOS) partner. The BLA’s aboveground aluminum trunk bus system minimized land disturbance, offering a more sustainable solution for the project’s extensive wiring needs in a key ecosystem for the region.
