Develop Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems for Landfills
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that there are more than 100,000 landfills in the country. There has never been a better time for municipalities to develop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for landfill sites. Electricity produced by these systems can save money and, in many cases, generate new revenues. Electricity produced on a landfill site can help municipalities provide a hedge against volatile energy prices. Various state and federal policies are available to improve the economics of installing and owning large-scale solar PV arrays.
