A total of 636 solar panels now cover the roof of the Padnos Iron & Metal Company’s plastic and paper recycling station in Wyoming, Michigan. The 150 KW project was installed by Cascade Renewable Energy of Grand Rapids. Electricity generated by the project is being purchased at 45¢ per kilowatt hour for the next twelve years by Consumers Energy under its Experimental Advanced Renewable Program.
