Installed in one of several fields that make up Westview Farms, a sixth-generation dairy farm, Monson Solar enables local residents, small businesses, and non-profits to save annually on their electric costs through Nexamp's Community Solar program. The 2.6-megawatt solar farm generated over 3,000,000 kilowatt-hours of clean, renewable energy during its first year of operation, enough to power 250 homes and offset over 2,500 metric tons of carbon dioxide from traditional sources.Monson Solar will also provide a Worcester-based hospital with well over $1 million in savings over the project lifetime, freeing up more resources for doctors and patient care.
