Aldon Electric has completed a 5.8-megawatt solar project on top of a 12-acre capped landfill in Ashland.
The Weymouth company oversaw the installation of 15,562 ballast-mounted photovoltaic modules manufactured by Boviet Solar USA of California, and 26 combiners which feed into three central solar inverters. The project took place at 50 MBTA Access Road in Ashland on top of the superfund site.
Work on the three-month long project began in October, with the solar panels being connected to the grid in January. Aldon Electric’s Project Manager John Michael and Foreman Tony Michael headed the project team, overseeing a crew of 57 IBEW Local 96, Local 223 and Local 103 electricians. Â
