Solar Panels installed in Huntsville, Alabama!

           Solar panel projects are being installed in Huntsville's South Memorial Parkway, Alabama by Southern Solar Systems, a Huntsville-based company specialized in installing photovoltaic solar panels. Not only are solar panels being installed in South Memorial Parkway, but it is claimed to also be installed on the lands that borders the northbound lanes between Charlotte Drive and Bryd Spring Road. According to Chris Shearburn, vice president of Southern Solar Systems, the solar panels should be operational by the following week.
            Southern Solar Systems also reports that they are installing solar panels for the landowner, who will be selling back its power generation back to Tennessee Valley Authority as part of its program, Green Power Providers program. This program helps offer consumers, businesses, and industries across the Tennessee Valley the option to build renewable generation with a maximum project size of less than 50 kilowatts in size.
             Shearburn had noted that the solar panels will be producing about 70,000 kilowatt hours of power a year, which helps the landowner save a revenue of about $1,500 per month. The solar panels are positioned southward and helps them pull in the most sunlight. Shearburn also comments that "in the last year or year and a half, the prices have dropped for solar panels, so the cost of building these (solar panels) is going down."
