80-acre solar farm in Wyandot County offers glimpse at Ohio's energy future | cleveland.com

UPPER SANDUSKY, Ohio -- A part of Ohio's energy future is emerging in a tiny farming town about 100 miles southwest of Cleveland.

There, a subsidiary of a large New Jersey utility has constructed a 'solar farm' on more than 80 acres of county-owned land that grew soybeans until last year. Since April, the glass and silicon farm has 'harvested' the sun.

The PSEG Wyandot Solar Farm consists of 159,200 solar panels -- nearly every one of them made by First Solar of Perrysburg. Together they generate up to 12 million watts, or 12 megawatts, when the sun is shinning."
