How community solar turned a Superfund site into savings in Illinois A new 9.1-MW solar array will help residents of Waukegan, Illinois, reduce energy bills. State incentives for low-income solar made the project possible.

A hopeful story in your news feed:

Land owned by an Illinois school district that was used as a brownfield site for industrial waste has been remediated and converted to a massive solar array.
