Solar arrays at top of Middletown’s old landfill won’t mar panoramic view, officials says

West Hartford-based solar energy developer Verogy is installing arrays on 7 acres of remediated land at the capped 80-foot-high midden. The Midden Panorama Trail, which can be accessed by a short nature trail with a steep climb, affords a nearly 360-degree view of the surroundings, including Cromwell, Meriden, Portland and other towns, as well as the 90-foot high Arrigoni Bridge, and convergence of the Mattabesset and Coginchaug rivers below. The array will not mar the panoramic view, Acting Director of Public Works Howard Weissberg said. The 750 kilowatt solar array comprises some 1,520 First Solar modules, according to Verogy.
