Solar over Retention Ponds – Reusing Wasted Space

Solar over Retention Ponds – Reusing Wasted Space

This solar job got creative with their layout. I love how they chose to use extensions on the support legs to utilize this wasted space of a retention pond. Many times, these retention ponds are free from shade and must be maintained anyway because of the local municipality.

Keeping the two arrays inside of a fence helps to deter people coming into vandalize or mess with the system.
I love the gravel under the front sections of these arrays.
Notice the poured concrete rectangle from the front leg to the back leg to help support the long, tall legs in the bottom of the pond.
Nice concrete pads poured in place concrete.
What a perfect location for a solar array. Utilizing and recycling wasted space on the property where the retention pond is located.
This is a dentist office completely powered by solar.
