Boardman Hill Solar Farm Explained

The Boardman Hill Solar Farm (BHSF) is a 150 kW AC community solar farm project. The Farm is the first community solar array in Vermont that fulfills the “Vermont Grown, Vermont Green” mission: complete member-ownership, democratic management of ongoing operations, and retirement of the RECs generated by the solar farm.^[1] It is located on the Boardman Hill Farm in West Rutland, Vermont.^{[2] [3]}

In 2015 BHSF was awarded the Vermont Energy and Climate Action Network Best Project of 2015 ^[4] It received the Vermont Governor's Environmental Excellence Award in 2016.^[5]
