The new Brightfield One 828-panel solar farm at Heritage Center in west Oak Ridge can generate enough electricity to power about 20 homes.
A solar array that began operating in west Oak Ridge in April can generate enough electricity to power about 20 homes, officials said during a ceremony Tuesday.
Developed by Restoration Services Inc., the $800,000 solar farm uses four rows of south-facing panels on 1.5 acres at the front side of Heritage Center, the former K-25 site.
“We wanted it right here at the entrance to make a statement about clean energy and the Department’s commitment,” said Rick Ferguson, RSI vice president, referring to the U.S. Department of Energy.
