Solar arrays are a key part of renewable energy in Massachusetts. This policy describes how MassDEP reviews solar-array projects that may impact wetland areas.
The Aurora Solar Power Plant''s Eastwood site near Mankato, seen during a September 2020 tour, illustrates how solar panels are mounted on posts, and how vegetation growing underneath the
Floating photovoltaic solar energy installations (FPVs) represent a new type of water surface use, potentially sparing land needed for agriculture and conservation.
First up, we need to consider any flood zones or wetlands to determine if there are regions of the site which will need to be excluded from the available area for modules and equipment. Learn
Solar projects are required to meet the general performance standards for work within wetland resource areas and should be sited outside of wetland resource areas whenever possible.
The above tabs provide additional information on permit requirements relating to solar panel projects. For impacts to streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, flood plains, flood ways, riparian zones,
Rather than simply treat all solar panel installations on posts/pilings that encroach into wetlands as a wetland impact, the WCA program focus on whether or not the panel arrays result in a significant
This webpage contains a more thorough breakdown and explanation of the methodology and guidelines that are recommended for solar panel projects. Additionally, there are examples to help demonstrate
FAQ #4: What are the PCSM requirements for a solar panel farm? All solar panel farm projects need to have some consideration of the impact that their project will have on stormwater runoff. The goal is to
When proposing solar arrays adjacent to Freshwater Wetlands, panels should be designed so they will not be shaded (now or in the future) by trees located in freshwater wetlands or buffers, especially on
