Other Solar Energy Projects


Cuyahoga Green Energy has operated a landfill solar farm in Brooklyn since 2018.

Cuyahoga County has installed solar on four county properties. These arrays help service the County's energy needs and offset usage and demand.

Brooklyn Landfill Solar Project

Since 2018, Cuyahoga County and Cuyahoga Green Energy (CGE) have operated a solar farm on a former landfill and brownfield site in Brooklyn. The 4-megawatt array contains 35,520 panels, covers 17 acres of landfill, and generates enough electricity to power roughly 650 homes. The site offsets 3,400 tons of CO2 emissions per year and will save roughly $3 million over 25 years in energy bills.

Brooklyn's solar farm currently occupies half of the landfill site. CGE is targeting a future expansion that would double the existing energy output.
