Event Description:

With a projected completion date in fall 2019, the Weld Hill Solar
Project represents the Arnold Arboretum's most ambitious
sustainability initiative to date. Comprising nearly 1300 solar
panels, the system is capable of producing an estimated 566,409 kWh
annually (approximately 30 percent of the Weld Hill Research
Building's total energy load). Working in tandem with the panels, a
unique battery storage array reduces peak demand charges, adding
additional energy savings. Join Danny Schissler to learn about the
photovoltaic system and Brendan Keegan to hear about the initial
stages of development of a native plant pollinator meadow within the
area of the solar panels. Meet at the solar array behind the Weld Hill
Building. Off-street parking is available. Find directions on our
website under "Visit."
