groSolar is a leader in the brownfield solar market, constructing solar on properties which were once thought to have little to no development potential.  We have expertise developing PV projects atop technically challenging and environmentally sensitive sites such as brownfields, municipal solid waste landfills, open water and wastewater treatment tanks, Superfunds, and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) landfill caps. This experience is vital to developing appropriate safety guidelines, training standards, and design parameters that will take into consideration the unique challenges of these sites.
