Woodchuck Solar Array

Description: The Woodchuck Solar Array consists of two different arrays constructed on a previously wooded site. Over the course of a year, the Woodchuck Solar Array is estimated to offset approximately 2,900 tons of Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

To put that in perspective, 2,900 tons of CO2 is equivalent to the emissions created from:

  • consuming 299,000 gallons of gasoline,
  • burning 2.9 million pounds of coal; or,
  • driving 6.5 million miles in an average passenger vehicle.
