[RFI] 2 MW Solar Farm

Mon Sep 21 23:10:17 EDT 2020

Chuck,

A few years back, the solar farms placed in schools, colleges and businesses had MASSIVE failures when hit with the snow load here in New Jersey.  They all got rebuilf, but all required lots of new panels and many new, reinforced structures.

It was an embarrassing mess for government, the utilities and the site owners, but the ratepayers/taxpayers PAID.

73,

Drove by a couple of solar farms on my way to Grand Forks, ND while still in Minnesota.  I wonder who gets to clear the snow off the panels in the winter.  This can't be effective in Minnesota.
