Wisconsin’s largest solar facility is now delivering clean power to Alliant Energy customers. The 2.3-megawatt Rock River solar project recently went into service near Beloit, Wis.

The solar facility includes over 7,700 solar panels, covers nearly 17 acres and produces enough electricity to power 500 homes.

The Rock River solar project is located on Alliant Energy’s property in the Town of Beloit. Alliant Energy signed a 10-year PPA with Hanwha Q CELLS USA.

Hanwha Q CELLS owns and operates the project that includes an option to purchase the facility at the end of the contract.
