Solar panel project taking shape at Franklin PUD in Pasco

Tri-City Herald
Ivan Morales, an employee of Baja Construction, welds support plates Monday to a metal solar panel structure being built in the Franklin PUD parking lot in Pasco. The PUD is modeling the array off a similar carport design used at Walla Walla Community College. It will shade 26 parking spaces – half publicly accessible, half within the PUD headquarters fenced compound – and generate 60 to 65 kilowatts of energy with 225 solar panels. A-R Solar of Seattle is the general contractor for the project which is expected to be completed by the end of the month.
