Dedication of the Previous Largest Solar Array in North Central Ohio
The dedication ceremony of the solar power electricity system at Precision Paving was attended by many people even though a winter storm warning was posted. However, neither snow nor ice stopped featured speaker Representative Marcy Kaptur from driving from Toledo to attend. Shortly before the event began, the electricity from First Energy failed. Undeterred the event continued in semi-darkness.

The 11,232 watt array consisted of 52 Sharp 216 watt solar panels and two SMA inverters. Edison Solar & Wind installers braved late fall snows to have the system operational before Federal tax credits were initially intended to expire.
The green energy installation took place on the roof of a new building addition belonging to Precision Paving Inc. located east of Milan, Ohio.
The Edison Solar & Wind team installed a 4,700 watt ground mount solar electric system in Milan township. The event was an educational occasion for local high school students who participated in the installation of the solar panels.
The students got first hand knowledge of the components of a solar system and how electricity can be produced from the sun.

The Current Largest Array of Solar Panels in North-Central Ohio!
The Sandusky Greenhouse is even greener, with solar panels that will provide most of its power. Using a $63,731 renewable energy grant that paid nearly half of the expense, the city added the largest array of solar panels in north-central Ohio to the garage roof of its greenhouse facility.
"The solar energy source will supply approximately 70 percent of the greenhouse's energy", says David Miller, president of Edison Solar & Wind, "It will also eliminate more than 200 tons of carbon-dioxide from going into the air every year."

The Edison Solar & Wind team completed one of the largest solar installations in the State of Georgia. The 100,800-watt array was installed in three beds using the Edison Solar “Sturdy Rack” system. Work began in late September after the obtainment of a U.S.D.A. grant by the buyer Encore Plastics, a green company that makes biodegradable plastic buckets.
The project was constructed at their Forsyth, Georgia location using all A.R.R.A. components and consisted of 420 Sharp 240 watt panels and one PC Power 100 kilowatt inverter. The system was started without incident and has been producing above expectations to date.

Summer 2011 Phase II Completion
The summer of 2011 saw the completion of Phase II of the solar installation for P.P.I. Properties (Precision Paving Inc). The addition consisted of 13 Sharp 224 watt panels for 2, 912 more watts of power bringing the total array wattage to 14,144 watts. Because this was an intended add-on, no additional inverter capacity was needed.
