Project overview

Meadowline

"Meadowline" is a 2.18 MW DC community solar project interconnected with a regional investor-owned utility and serving residential subscribers across the surrounding service territory.

The work began with identifying and evaluating land suitable for a utility-scale ground-mount array. Site feasibility, array configuration, utility requirements, and interconnection constraints were considered together as the project moved from raw land through design and implementation.

JLJ’s principal engineer led site selection and design implementation through utility interconnection. The completed project entered operation in early 2022 and continues to serve subscribers through the community solar program.
