Firefighters in #ScioTownship are the latest to go #solarpower. A new 40-kilowatt #solararray is taking shape, less than a year after township leaders declared a #ClimateEmergency.
Beginning on Wed, March 8, installers with Homeland Solar were at work setting up a new array of #solarpanels at the township fire station at 1055 North Zeeb Road, just west of #AnnArbor. It’s the latest upgrade for the facility that underwent a renovation in recent years.
