Solar is "in" in Brooklyn, Ohio

Believe it or not, an iconic solar project has commenced on a closed landfill in Brooklyn, Ohio, located in Cuyahoga County.  Although not known as the greatest solar resource, Brooklyn is fortunate to have a creative and aggressive public power system, Cleveland Public Power (CPP), as well as a county government that truly believes in sustainability.  These attributes combined with a dynamic developer (Enerlogics Solar), helpful EPA and creative investor (Ohio-based IGS Energy), enabled this project to move forward.

Currently, CPP is constructing the new infrastructure and Conti Construction is deploying equipment on site.  Enerlogics has installed a video camera at the site and a live feed is available at http://enerlogics.com/portfolio/cuyahoga-urban-renewable-power-solar-project/#livecam1.

It promises to be an exciting summer as this solar project is built and enters commercial operation.  Additional projects are already being considered.  Stay tuned!
