Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Ground-mounted Solar Power Projects on Brownfields & Legacy Sites

Constructing a ground-mounted solar energy array on a brownfield or other previously developed real property comes with its own considerations, concerns and construction best practice. Compared to greenfield development, a solar power re-development project starts with a completely different mindset from the very beginning and requires specific expertise to guide it from simple conception to successful completion. Notwithstanding the higher degree of difficulty, the right team of experts can make a solar redevelopment as viable as any greenfield development, or more so.


The 2021 Virginia Solar Summit featured 4 of today's top solar redevelopment professionals in a power-packed 1-hour presentation through each step of the "brownfield to brightfield path," and each from their own tremendous expertise, including Carey Kling from BQ Energy LLC, Robin Lucey from Dominion Energy, Rick Buffalini from Civil & Environmental Consultants Inc., and Josh Berkow from Mott MacDonald.
