The array, dedicated at a ceremony Saturday morning, is powering both the nearby CA pool in River Hill and the village's "Meeting Room" building, which is used for the pool during the summer months and as a nursery school for the remainder of the year.
"We have a facility here that one way or another is operating year-round, so we can see an annualized benefit," Chick Rhodehamel, CA's director of community development and sustainability, said Saturday
The solar panels' location, off Trotter Road near Great Star Drive, is also highly visible, highlighting CA's efforts, officials said.
