Leaders cut ribbon for solar panels

McFARLAND, Wis. (WKOW) — A new solar farm is now up and running in McFarland.

Project leaders celebrated the completion of the facility with a ribbon-cutting Wednesday.

The panels generate enough energy to power about 225 homes each year.

The site sits on land owned by the Village of McFarland, leased to the school district, and subleased to Alliant Energy through the Customer Hosted Renewables Program.

McFarland will collect rent payments from Alliant Energy and receive credits from the solar facility.
