groSolar designed and constructed the Marion County Solar project which combines two environmentally sensitive sites in order to deliver 7.1 megawatts of clean renewable solar energy. 5.2 megawatts were constructed on a capped landfill and 1.9 megawatts were constructed on a nearby brownfield. groSolar's experience in designing and constructing projects on environmentally sensitive sites resulted in a well-designed project easily constructed within the project's six-month schedule. Some of the project's unique engineering characteristics and design challenges included:

groSolar was pleased to once again work with City of Rome, NY to develop a 2.0 Megawatt(AC) solar project upon vacant land, adjacent to a prison, and largely constrained by wetlands. While the site may have been undevelopable for more traditional infrastructure, groSolar was able to install nearly 9,000 panels in order to deliver renewable clean energy to the City of Rome. The project’s economic benefits include approximately $4 million in energy cost savings to the City of Rome over the project’s 20-year Power Purchase Agreement.

groSolar is pleased to be engaged by the City of Rome, NY to develop, design and construct a 2.0 Megawatt (AC) solar project on the closed and capped Tannery Road Landfill. This, otherwise undevelopable land, is ideal for repurposing as a solar electric generating project. The project will bring 3,400,000 kilowatt hours of clean, renewable electricity to the residents of Rome in the project’s first year.

Clean Harbors Environmental Services (NYSE: CLH) chose to install a solar power system at its Bridgeport, NJ, facility to offset more than 90% of the facility’s annual electric bill.  Prior to the installation, the facility’s annual electric bill was $250,000.

Most of the facility’s electricity is used to run pump and treatment equipment to pump contaminated ground water, treat it and then discharge it into the Raccoon Creek.  The 6,500+ PV modules sit on top of a capped landfill, which was thought to have no development potential.

The Berkley East Solar Power Project is a 3.88 MW DC municipal utility-tied solar PV system. This Massachusetts project was built by groSolar on previously undeveloped land and was completed ahead of schedule. Construction began by sensitively excavating the rocky land surrounded by cranberry bogs and a newly created turtle habitat. The energy generated from the system will be purchased by Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant (TMLP), the largest municipal electric utility in the state.

SAS Institute, Inc., the world leader in business analytics software and services, is the largest vendor in the business intelligence market.  SAS is fully committed to sustainability with an existing megawatt solar electric array at their Cary, NC headquarters.  They reaffirmed their commitment to sustainable practices with the addition of SAS Solar Farm 2, a 1.2 MW PV project that creates enough power for more than 700 homes.
