PROJECT COMPLETED! – Solar Over Wilmore

LATEST UPDATE – August 2026

Our solar project is complete!
As you can see by the pictures, our Solar Over Wilmore Project at the
Dan Glass Pavilion was completed as of Friday, December 19, 2025.

The crew of Commonwealth Solar LLC under the direction of owner, Dan
Wier, guided the men to install seventy 590-watt solar panels on the roof of
the pavilion in cold but dry weather for a total capacity of 41.3 KW of solar energy
generation. They were also able to run all the wire into the City Hall
building and connect it to the two inverters and the electrical service panel.
The Jessamine County Electrical Inspector came to do the required inspection.

We conducted a Ribbon Cutting ceremony with the help of Ronda May and the
Jessamine County Chamber of Commerce on April 16, 2026. We have placed all
donors’ names on a recognition plaque inside the glass display case at City Hall.
Thanks for your prayers and financial support in 2024 and 2025.

I believe this solar generation rooftop array will become even more valuable to
the city over the next 30 years as the price of electricity creeps upwards. This
will help not only save the city some money but will add to the sustainability of our
wonderful community.
