JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. And Southern Sky Renewable Energy LLC Revitalize Former Canton Landfill With 5.75 MW Of Solar Power

JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. announced that the Company will supply its modules to a 5.75MW array of solar panels located on the site of the former Canton landfill in Canton, MA. In partnership with Boston-based renewable energy project developer Southern Sky Renewable Energy LLC (SSRE), the project brings life to the two decades-long unused space, serving as a valuable revenue generator and clean power solution for the local community. The Canton landfill project is part of a growing movement to revitalize abandoned, underused industrial areas known as "brownfields" and convert them into economically productive, clean power-generating sites. JinkoSolar worked with New England-based ISM Solar Solutions, LLC and SSRE to design and implement a solar panel array that maximizes energy generation capacity for the 15-acre site. The facility was constructed by Gemma Renewable Power, LLC, a nationally recognized Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor that provides a full range of services to owners and developers of renewable energy projects. Upon completion later this year, the solar array will produce enough solar energy to generate $16.3M in property lease and energy generation revenue for the town of Canton.
