Topsham approved its first two solar farm projects Tuesday since the town adopted new rules to regulate them in July. Augusta Road Topsham LLC, a subsidiary of SunRaise Investments, is proposing 6 Megawatt solar facility on a 19.8 acre-site that will consist of solar arrays, inverters and a fence around the arrays. The project will oust the Brunswick Area Modelers club that has flown model planes on the property for nearly 40 years. The planning board Tuesday also approved a 5-megawatt, ground-mounted solar electric generating facility at 357 Middlesex Road at a current disc golf site. Borrego Solar Systems will sell credits for the project to Maine Health’s hospital system across the state.
