South Hadley Landfill MSE Solar Berm

South Hadley, Massachusetts

ARM was the Engineer-of-Record for the design and construction of the Solar Integrated Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Berm at the South Hadley Landfill, located in South Hadley Massachusetts. ARM prepared permit level designs of its patented solar support and anchoring technology for this first of its kind solar application.

Project Highlights

Designed and permitted the installation of the solar system as part of the Cell 2D landfill expansion, approved by The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP)
ARM subsequently prepared construction level designs for the 85.5 KW solar system.
ARM also provided construction-phase engineering services throughout the installation of the solar system. The solar system consists of a total of 364 solar modules, which generate nearly 100,000 KW-hours/year.
A Solectria PVI-82 inverter was selected to convert the DC output into AC power. The electricity from the solar system is used to offset the electrical consumption from the adjacent South Hadley Department of Public Works.
