By this winter, motorists driving on State Road 135 will see more than 4,000 solar panels near the road, collecting and distributing the renewable energy to southern Johnson County residents.
As a push to have more renewable energy sources throughout the state, Hoosier Energy electric company picked the Trafalgar area as one of 10 sites in southern Indiana to be the home of a new solar farm. The energy from the solar panels will be used to power homes that use Johnson County REMC for their electricity.
