Solar Groundmount System for Upper Montgomery Joint Autority
1100 Mensch Dam Road, Upper Hanover, PA · Plan review · 26.48 acres
About this project
Solar Renewable Energy, LLC is proposing a ground-mounted solar array of about 1.6 megawatts on roughly 4.7 acres of the 26.48-acre property at 1100 Mensch Dam Road in Upper Hanover Township. The site is owned by the Upper Montgomery Joint Authority, and the array would use 2,782 post-mounted panels with fencing and small concrete equipment pads. The land would not be regraded, and new hard surface would stay under 2,000 square feet.
County planning commission: No position
Issues raised: drainage plan waiver depends on township confirming site conditions, recommends native pollinator seed mix under the panels
