There are 3,455 panels over 16 sections with 216 panels in each section for the 1.25 megawatt solar farm.

A B.C. First Nations solar farm west of Williams Lake is now operational after a five year journey.

The largest of its kind, the 1.25 megawatt Tsilhqot’in Nation Solar Farm was completed last October but it just started feeding into the BC Hydro grid May 28 due to some unforeseen delays.

“I’m feeling grateful,” said Yunesit’in First Nation Chief Russell Myers Ross.
