ROCKLAND, Maine — The potential for a solar farm with more than 1,100 panels is being eyed for Rockland.

The system, designed by ReVision Energy of Liberty, could produce more than 400,000 kilowatt hours of electricity annually for up to nine shareholders, according to Sue Jones, the company’s community solar farm director. Jones said it would be the largest community solar farm in the state if built.

A presentation regarding community solar farms by the company is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 11, at the Rockland Public Library.

John Root, Rockland code enforcement officer, said Friday no application has been filed with the city but that there had been some inquiries from the company earlier this year. He said that if the company applies, the planning board would review the project. The property is located in an industrial zone.
