Ohio village installs 9,222 solar panels on reservoir

Original: Ohio village puts 9,222 solar panels on reservoir, now has 13 times the state's solar per resident

An Ohio village has installed 9,222 floating solar panels on its reservoir, giving it 13 times more solar capacity per resident than the state average. The project uses water surface otherwise going unused, and coverage in outlets including The Cool Down highlights it as a model for small communities looking to cut energy costs and expand renewable power without sacrificing land.

Why now: The unusual floating solar project and its striking per-capita renewable lead are drawing attention as an example for other small towns.
