COUNTY’S FIRST SOLAR FARM HUMS ALONG Effingham County’s first solar farm is up and running on Stillwell Clyo Road in Springfield. The 5-acre farm has 4,500 solar panels, each 2.5 feet by 5 feet, and produces one megawatt of power — enough to power 120 homes. The power goes back into the grid and is distributed to customers throughout Georgia Power’s network. “It’s being shared equally around the county,” said Steve Chiariello of Inman Solar in Atlanta, the company that built the farm. The farm was built under a Georgia Power program that encourages the development of solar power.
