Solar project taking shape

Groton Road array gets state financing

Two development companies have begun a $23 million project to convert a vacant industrial site in Westford into a solar farm that could generate enough electricity to power about 600 homes.

Workers are preparing the 22-acre site for the planned 4.5-megawatt facility, which will consist of an array of 14,000 ground-mounted solar panels on Groton Road, near Route 3.  http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/green/articles/2011/09/04/westford_solar_farm_projected_to_have_14000_panels_on_22_acres/
