Document Description
The goal of the proposed project is to determine whether placement of a self-ballasting PV solar racking system will have an effect on the performance of a closed landfill's cap. The effects on landfill settlement and power generation performance will be measured via a closely monitored series pilot experiment wherein single racks with PV modules will be placed in the field at a number of locations on a landfill cap. The information can be applied to permitting future PV systems on landfills. There are about 35,000 acres of landfill sites in the state that would be suitable for PV development.
