Company Overview
Silicon Ranch Corporation
HeadquartersNashville, TN, United States
Founded2011
SizeApproximately 300 employees (source: siliconranch.com). Revenue figures post-2023 are not publicly detailed.
What They Do
Silicon Ranch focuses primarily on utility-scale solar energy development, ownership, and operation, integrated with battery storage and carbon solutions. The company has pioneered solar energy in the Southeast US, deploying US-made First Solar panels as early as 2015 and emphasizing long-term ownership of every project since its inception (source: siliconranch.com). Its core services encompass full-cycle project development from planning to construction and operations, featuring the proprietary Regenerative Energy platform that integrates agrivoltaics—combining solar generation with regenerative agriculture practices. This innovative approach was first implemented in 2019 at the 121-acre Providence Solar Farm in Tennessee, where 500 sheep were used to restore soil health through adaptive multi-paddock grazing (source: siliconranch.com). Target markets include utilities, corporations, and communities, allowing Silicon Ranch to serve as an independent power producer that generates tax revenues and creates jobs without requiring local capital investment.
Projects & Track Record
Among notable completed projects, Silicon Ranch delivered the 9.6 MW Chattanooga Volkswagen farm in Tennessee in 2012, marking the first utility-scale solar project in the state’s history. Other significant projects include the 39 MW Social Circle in Georgia (2013), 3 MW Okolona in Mississippi (2014), 17 MW Aerojet Rocketdyne in Arkansas (2015), and 20 MW Cumberland in Alabama (2018). By 2023, the company had achieved over 2.5 GW across 160+ projects, with a total portfolio exceeding 7 GW by 2025, spanning 15 states with coast-to-coast reach (source: siliconranch.com). Ongoing efforts include the Houston Solar Project, which unveiled a 26,000 sq. ft. lambing barn in 2024 to enhance national sheep flock genetics and host the first lambing season, alongside the CattleTracker™ research program integrating cattle grazing with solar (source: siliconranch.com). Key clients encompass major corporations and utilities, including Volkswagen, Aerojet Rocketdyne, and Meta, with partnerships aimed at carbon offsets through initiatives like Clearloop.
Recent Developments
In the last two years, Silicon Ranch has secured recognition as Solar Power World’s #1 Top Solar Developer in both 2023 and 2024, marking its fifth consecutive year at the top in Georgia. The company unveiled the Houston Solar lambing barn in 2024 and hosted its first CattleTracker™ DOE workshop the same year. Additionally, Silicon Ranch flipped the switch on a DENSO solar facility with TVA in Maryville, Tennessee, on August 29, 2025, and supported Meta’s massive AI operations project in September 2025 (source: siliconranch.com). Earlier milestones included acquiring Clearloop in 2021, crossing the 3 GW portfolio threshold, and launching agrivoltaics technician training programs, which have been instrumental in fostering local employment and community engagement.
Working There
Silicon Ranch employs over 300 people as of May 2025, with roles spanning development, project delivery, construction, operations, and land management. The company prioritizes local and veteran hiring, particularly in construction roles that scale with project size, and engages actively with local chambers of commerce for bids (source: siliconranch.com). Headquarters functions are based in Nashville, where strategic roles are filled, while field facilities across 15 states support construction and operations. The company culture emphasizes pioneering legacy, community integration, and holistic land stewardship, with a strong focus on local hiring and regenerative training programs that employ individuals from diverse backgrounds (source: siliconranch.com). Specific benefits are not detailed in public sources, but roles offer good-paying construction careers transitioning to long-term solar operations and land management.
