This project not only supports the school’s sustainability mission but also represents a major milestone in clean energy development under new township regulations. **A Model for Suburban Sustainability** The 8-acre solar array is designed to generate over **3 million kWh of clean energy annually**, offsetting more than **1,800 metric tons of CO₂e emissions each year**—the equivalent of powering 283 homes. The system will supplement Westtown School’s energy needs while serving as a living example of environmental leadership and innovation in the education sector. The clean energy generated will be used to offset campus energy usage, creating long-term economic and environmental benefits for both the school and the broader community. **Building Under New Regulations** This installation is the first large-scale solar project approved under Westtown Township’s recently enacted ordinance limiting solar fields to 10 acres. Navigating the evolving regulatory landscape required intensive coordination with township officials and stakeholders, including a conditional use approval process that established a path forward for future solar projects in the region. **Engineering Around Obstacles** To overcome site-specific challenges, BioStar partnered with Bohler, an engineering firm with deep local experience. The team addressed several critical design and permitting concerns, including: - **Glare Mitigation**: Visual studies and customized engineering solutions were presented to ensure minimal visual impact to surrounding areas. - **Stormwater Management**: Infiltration basins were designed to meet Pennsylvania DEP standards while preserving the functionality and aesthetics of the site. **Community Engagement Built In** Early in the process, BioStar made community engagement a priority. The team hosted site walks and virtual meetings with local residents to discuss project details and address concerns related to visibility. Comprehensive 3D models and a thoughtful screening plan of evergreens, deciduous, and ornamental trees helped secure strong public support and township approval. **Clean Energy in Action** This project is a testament to what’s possible when mission-driven institutions and clean energy developers work together to overcome challenges and deliver long-term impact. As part of its broader portfolio, BioStar Renewables is proud to help schools, municipalities, and businesses transition to energy models that are cleaner, more resilient, and financially sustainable. **Project Quick Facts** - **Location:** Westtown School, Westtown, PA - **System Size:** 2 MW - **Annual Output:** 3,000,000+ kWh - **Annual Carbon Offset:** 1,834 metric tons CO₂e - **Development Partner:** Evolution Sustainability Group - **Engineering Partner:** Bohler - **Estimated Completion:** Q4 2025 For press inquiries or to learn more about BioStar’s clean energy solutions, please contact: | [www.biostarrenewables.com](https://www.biostarrenewables.com) **About BioStar Renewables** BioStar is a full-service renewable energy developer helping businesses and communities transition to clean, cost-effective energy systems.
