Pennsylvania’s state parks and forests are soaking up the sun in a BIG way! With 3.8 megawatts of solar power installed across 36 arrays, we’re making a bright impact. When fully energized, these arrays can create 4.47 GWh of energy annually. That's like: ?? Powering 367 homes for a year! ?? Preventing CO2 emissions equal to burning 3,253 barrels of oil! ?? Taking 328 cars off the road! Solar energy helps keep our parks green and our air clean. Learn more about DCNR's solar efforts → https://bit.ly/DCNRSolar #SolarAppreciationDay
