The Boulder Housing Partners Triangle Solar Array is one of the first solar arrays in the Boulder, Colorado, area that is solely dedicated to offsetting energy use for low-income resident. On land that was formerly degraded, rocky soils, several community partners --- including the Colorado Agrivoltaic Learning Center and Drylands Agroecology Research --- planted hundreds of hardy, drought-tolerant perennials and herbs throughout the site.
