Downeast Maine has another much-needed source of solar power with the completion of Ellsworth Renewables, a large 5.9 Megawatt solar farm in Ellsworth, the county seat of Hancock County. This project, located just north of Lower Patten Pond, features more than 10,000 made-in-the-U.S.A. solar modules attached to a modern and efficient tracking infrastructure. Capable of offsetting the power needs of nearly 1,000 average households, Ellsworth Renewables makes the advantages of solar available to anyone who gets their power from the Versant utility grid, with no up-front fees and no equipment to install.
