About the Project
Marion County Solar Project, LLC, is constructing an up to 100 megawatt (MW) solar energy facility in Marion County, Ohio. Construction on the project's high-voltage components began in November 2024. Construction of the project's solar arrays is expected to start in early 2025 and should take the majority of the year. We are excited to make this clean, environmentally compatible, renewable energy generation installation a reality.
Construction
At the start of construction, the majority of activity will consist of site preparation and earthwork, substation construction, and post and racking installation. Construction activity will generally take place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. or from sunrise to sunset to ensure minimal disruption of daily activity. Occasionally, some construction activities may take place at night, but they will be limited to low-sound activities. No noise or light impacts are expected to affect nearby residences. Please note, the sequencing of construction activities is subject to change due to weather conditions or other adverse events.
