Canada-based SolarBank Corporation plans to develop a 7 MW DC solar project on a 23-acre closed landfill in Clay, New York. The Oak Orchard project aims to repurpose the site and qualify for New York State’s NY-Sun incentives. SolarBank has secured the lease and is seeking interconnection approval. According to SolarBank, the project will serve as a community solar initiative, enabling households to receive energy credits without installing their own panels. However, the project’s success depends on securing necessary permits, third-party financing, and favorable government policies. As per SolarBank, these factors could significantly impact the project’s viability.
