Kevin Mierzcjewski, flying high over west Ada, captures the solar array at ONU. The football stadium is to the left. The array has 18,000 panels on 11 acres of land and is the first array in Ohio which tracks the movement of the sun. ONU provided the land for the $4 million project and contracted with AEP Energy of Chicago to pay for the installation and operation. ONU will purchase electricity directly from the array without needing to invest capital in the array’s construction and maintenance. The array produces about 2 megawatts of electricity annually.
