Which code does this activity belong in?
NAICS 221114 covers establishments operating solar electric power generation facilities that convert sunlight into electricity for transmission or distribution systems. The boundary separates solar power generation from all other renewable and conventional energy sources: hydroelectric facilities using water power are classified in NAICS 221111, wind facilities using wind power in NAICS 221115, geothermal facilities using Earth's heat in NAICS 221116, and biomass facilities using organic materials in NAICS 221117. Fossil fuel, nuclear, and other alternative energy sources are classified in their respective codes.
