To avoid soil damage, the solar panels are being installed on driven posts without concrete, allowing the vegetation to preserve and improve soil quality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The project is being developed by a team led by groSolar, a solar engineering, procurement and construction firm, which is using around 20,000 Canadian Solar 290 watt modules (pictured) fixed on ground-mounded aluminum racking provided by Schletter, a producer of professional solar mounting systems headquartered in Germany. According to an official press release, the project will supply around 7.5 million kilowatt hours per year of solar generated electricity under a 15-year power purchase agreement with Exelon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Photo credits to Community Energy Solar<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Veronica Grecu, Associate Editor Work has started at Keystone Solar Project located along Lancaster Pike south of the city of Lancaster, PA, soon after Community Energy Solar announced it had closed financing on the six megawatt development.
