About this project
Lucent Energy Management proposes a ground-mounted solar array at 1141 W. Eighth Street in Lansdale to power the existing Rex Heat Treat metalworking plant, which would supply roughly 13% of the facility's energy use. The plan also adds a 6,000 square foot storage building for cranes and equipment, and the existing industrial facility stays in place.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: borough solar ordinance recommended, native pollinator plantings in array area, planted buffer along Squirrel Lane
