The Hualapai Tribe in Northern Arizona partnered with Tucson-based SOLON Corp. to develop, design and construct a new solar energy project and battery energy system (BESS) near the visitor center at Grand Canyon West.

Recently the Hualapai Tribe celebrated the project with a groundbreaking ceremony attended by members of the Tribal Council, the tribe’s project management team, and representatives of SOLON Corp. The project will be built in phases, and it is expected the Solar and BESS will be fully operational in Q2, 2023.
