Arstechnica recently caught up with Connor Field, a University of Michigan undergrad from Kalamazoo who built the largest solar farm in Michigan. He told the publication some of the lessons he's learned in the project.
Excerpt:
Now that the key lessons have been learned, Field is forging ahead with several more ventures, though he's hesitant to say too much about them yet. One hint: they will all be significantly larger than the solar farm, which required electrical service work that could serve a much larger project for the same amount of investment. Motorized panel tracking systems have dropped dramatically in price, and Field plans to buy in bulk for future projects, so hot summers of welding are behind him.
