A renewable energy joint venture has received environmental approvals from the DoE and FAA to proceed forward with construction of America’s largest commercial airport solar farm.
The 20-megawatt solar farm will be built on 70 acres at Chicago-Rockford Solar Partners, LLC, comprised of Elgin-based Wanxiang America and Chicago-based New Generation Power.
Wanxiang America will supply the photovoltaic solar panels from its new Rockford-based solar panel assembly plant. This facility has a solar module production capacity of 30MW per year. Panel production is well underway and Wanxiang will ramp up jobs and production as the project expands.
