Construction has started on one of the largest solar power projects in the state, and it's at Ft. Carson. The $13 million project got underway at the beginning of the month and, when finished, will cover nearly 12 acres at Ft. Carson with photovoltaic solar panels. At maximum capacity it will generate 2 megawatts of electricity, that's a little less than seven percent of the Army base's total electricity needs.

I own 7 acres near Ft. Garland. Would like to devote 1 acre to solar panels. Who could help me design and install this system ?
