The Morris Regional Oncology Center, Morris, Ill., is asking the city for permission to add solar panels on its property to make it a greener facility.
Joseph Kozicki, project manager for Solar Micronics, which is doing the solar panel project for the center, presented to the Morris City Council’s Development Review Committee recently, according to an article in the Morris Daily Herald.
Making the center solar powered will save “100 percent of its electric bill,” Kozicki said. A fence would be put around the field to shield neighbors from the sight, and the center is willing to work with neighbors on the type of fencing to be constructed.
A center neighbor had questions regarding safety, asking if the panels would reflect light or heat onto neighboring homes. Kozicki said the panels will be angled so the light would be toward the parking lot, and no heat would be generated.
