Minnesota Community Solar Garden program – Cornillie, MN
Project Name
Minnesota Community Solar Garden program – Cornillie, MN
General Project Overview
- DC = 1.416 MW
- AC = 1 MW
Description
The Cornille site was a dream for the team. The field was generally flat, and the soil was sandy. This provided for both little grading of the site, and easy panel installation. We enjoyed a pretty easy one here!
Minnesota Community Solar Garden Program – Goodhue, MN
Project Name
Minnesota Community Solar Garden Program, Goodhue MN
General Project Overview
- DC = 1.416 MW
- AC = 1 MW
Description
The entire field is covered with drain tile or grid, creating a challenging constrain for our team. The drain tile removes water from the field. The site also had an area of protected wetlands that caused our team to design the array to both produce the needed power and protect the environmental integrity of the site.
Despite extreme conditions, the Gordian Energy Systems delivered the project on time and on budget.

St. Cloud Community Solar Garden
Project Name
Minnesota Community Solar Garden Program – St. Cloud, Minnesota
General Project Overview
- DC = .44 MW
- AC = .3 MW
- Fixed tilt solar racking with string inverters.
