Royalton-area solar project aims for affordability >With nearby equipment and supplies poised to begin construction on a community supported solar array, Russell Lewczuk-Jensen stands with his daughters, from left, Freja2, Cora, 4, and Vega, 2, above the one acre site for the installation on a south-facing hill at his Putting Down Roots Farm in Royalton, Vt., Thursday, July 15, 2021. He will pasture meat birds around the solar panels which will occupy space that is not suitable for haying. Generating power is almost like an agricultural thing, said Lewczuk-Jensen. It s not food, but it s providing for a need. (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News. May not be reprinted or used online without permission. Send requests to permission@vnews.com.
