Solar Panel Repairs Coming to Scottsbluff’s Landers Soccer Complex
It appears the solar field at the Landers Soccer Complex in Scottsbluff could once again be at full operation by 2024.
Grant Otten with Nebraska Public Power District says the owners of the solar array will begin to remove the damaged solar modules in the next few weeks, and once removed they will be replaced with new panels.
The damaged solar panel modules will be recycled and the developer who operates the facility, has made it a priority to ensure none of the damaged modules end up in a landfill.
Otten says the developer indicated the rest of the components and equipment are in good condition, and if all goes as planned, the facility could be back online by the end of the year.

Declining costs and government encouragement have resulted in a rapid increase in solar energy production in the United States over the past 10 years, although solar’s share remains small: 1.6 percent of all electricity generation in 2018. That rapid growth is projected to continue.
