Hillsboro Solar Project: Powering Illinois |
|
The Hillsboro Solar Project in Montgomery County, Illinois, transforms a 33-acre former zinc smelter site into a 6.9-megawatt (MWdc) source of clean energy. The site utilizes over 11,500 solar modules on a single-axis tracker system. It will generate approximately 11,550 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually, which is enough to power 1,250 U.S. homes. As a community solar garden, Hillsboro expands access to renewable energy for local residents and displaces up to 9,985 metric tons of carbon emissions each year. |
