GOSHEN – Delaware River Solar plans to develop two community solar farms in Orange County, which will provide solar energy to residents without having to install solar panels on their own homes.
Orange and Rockland Utilities customers are eligible to join the new solar farms community and receive up to a 10 percent discount on their monthly electric bill, the Callicoon-based company said.
Delaware River Solar operates 44 community solar farms, providing some 20,000 New Yorkers with renewable energy and eliminating over 350 million pounds of atmospheric carbon per year.
It would take 2.7 million tree seedlings 10 years to achieve that carbon reduction, company officials said.
The locations of the new Orange County solar farms were not announced.
