Ground is broken by Dylan Humenik on an old coal strip mine in Somerset County, PA, not on a new coal mine, but instead to install a solar monitoring station for a proposed utility-scale solar array. Wind turbines at the Casselman Wind Farm spin in the background. – Photo submitted by Dylan Humenik.

The very first step in installing a utility scale solar array is to install the ground-mount for a solar weather station to collect irradiance data. Dylan Humenik and Miles Brkovich drill into an old coal strip mine in Somerset County, PA in the hopes that one day solar panels will fill this field. – Photo submitted by Dylan Humenik.
