Solar Panels Help Power GM Plant in Toledo

The Columbus Dispatch

It sure didn’t seem like the kind of day to be checking out a solar panel array as officials led the way to the roof of the General Motors Toledo Transmission Plant.

The sky was gray, the air was chilly, and the sun was nowhere to be seen.

“They’re producing power, believe it or not,” Granger Souder said, even as a light rain fell. “That’s one of the reasons we went to First Solar (panels); they’re good in these lighting conditions and good flat.”
