The project is also the largest landfill solar project in Ohio. In addition to landfill, Conti Solar’s industry expertise spans across the market segments of large-scale solar projects.
Conti Solar worked with IGS Solar, the project developer and
completed the project in July of this year. While landfill projects introduce
more complexities in the design and construction of the solar system, they also
bring great rewards. Building solar on landfills converts the unproductive area
to a carbon-free solar power generation plant. Cuyahoga County gained jobs;
lower-cost energy; retail, lease and tax revenues; and a healthier environment
for the community.
“Conti Solar is pleased the Cuyahoga County Landfill Solar
Project has been honored with this award. This project signifies the will of
the county to work through challenges and add low-cost, renewable energy to
their portfolio. Congratulations on this major accomplishment. We hope more will
follow,” said Eric Millard, Chief Commercial Officer of Conti Solar.
“With a
reputation of extensive experience and reliable execution, Conti Solar
delivered on this project working with impeccable execution,” commented Mike
Foley, Director of Sustainability, Cuyahoga County.
The
Cuyahoga Landfill Solar Project is installed with 35,520 solar modules, 1,976
posts, 988 ballast blocks, 26 rows of racks and two central inverters. The
project took four months to complete and the power generation is contracted
with the county via a 10-year power purchase agreement with an option for
another 10 years and the opportunity to purchase the system after six years.
