Solar development on distressed and closed properties landfills is becoming increasingly common  and landfill owners and operators must be aware of the opportunities before them. Legacy closed landfills are also often an environmental and financial liability for property owners. However, enhancing a property with solar can transform these liabilities into revenue and clean energy-generating assets for landowners and the community. This session provides a comprehensive overview of the solar development process on closed landfills from the site selection process through construction and commercial operation. 

Topics covered include:

• Key solar terms and infrastructure
• Site Selection
• Development / interconnection process
• State/Federal incentives for solar development
• Overview of completed projects
• General construction practices

As a result of this session, participants will be able to: 

• Discuss solar development process 
• Develop a solid proposal to leadership for consideration, approval, and implementation of a solar project
