Castillo Engineering and RECON Corp., an EPC and solar contractor, have partnered on a 15 MW portfolio of five community solar projects in Illinois.
Part of the Illinois Shines or Adjustable Block Program, each of the 3 MW community solar projects will use bifacial solar modules and FLEXRACK by Qcells solar trackers, and will each provide pollinator-friendly habitats.
The projects will begin construction before the end of the year. Once complete, Castillo Engineering and RECON will have collectively completed over 60 community solar projects in Illinois totaling over 200 MW.
“We selected Castillo Engineering for these projects due to their extensive community solar experience within Illinois,” says Scott Walker, president at RECON. “Castillo Engineering also offers a streamlined design approach due to their in-house civil and electrical teams, which helps with optimizing designs – from fault current ratings to equipment pad design.”
Castillo Engineering’s team was able to optimize and reduce the cost of mid-voltage equipment through utility fault current insights on all five of these projects. Voltage drop and wire sizes for direct current circuits were also reduced after assessing the impact of the bifacial modules. Additionally, the firm’s in-house civil engineering team was able to optimize the access road to incorporate existing conditions, reducing permitting time and costs for each of these community solar projects.

Castillo Engineering, RECON Working on 15 MW of Community Solar
If you believe that a loving God has a plan for you, and is steadily guiding you towards happiness, then you disagree with the assertion here.
The rest of us are forced to admit that the universe is cooly indifferent to us and the outcome of our lives here on Earth.
This doesn’t mean, btw, that our lives are meaningless, but it does compel us to create our own meaning as we make our choices as we go along.
Another point to be made here is that there is no “galactic cavalry” that is going to come charging in, guns ablazing, to save us from the criminal insanity of the Trump administration.
Mark Kelly, like the vast majority of his fellow Americans, wishes to see Trump removed from office, as the president is clearly criminally insane.
That doesn’t make him, or any of the rest of us, guilty of sedition.
One has to admire the Pope and how he’s trying to bring peace to our world.
It’s a shame this flies in the teeth of the aims of Donald Trump, the most powerful person on Earth, whose personal success depends on fostering division and hatred.
