“One quick question. I heard that because of you having agrovoltaics, you don't have to meet some setbacks and screening requirements. What would the setbacks and screening requirements be if you weren't exempt from this? Do you have a sense of what they typically would have been, or staff?”

“Okay. Okay. Those are my questions for tonight. Are there any other questions or comments? First of all, I'm delighted that you're trying agrivoltaics, that you're committing to that. There are several projects that we approved gave recommendations on that were approved through the state with agrivoltaics, but I don't think they've been installed. So it'd be, you know, the more that you can get out there to show it works or, you know, so that, because I'm sure that, you know, it may need tweaking over time, you know, but this is great that you're doing that. And the last is where do you…”

“Those are my comments, and then as we move to staff, as we move forward on other solar projects, I think it's also what Commissioner Petterm said, just to note during the package, you know, what type of soil. So just so it's just recorded. It has nothing. It's still... You know, we can do nothing about it. You know, the state preempts, but it's just good to know what type of soil it is. Those are my questions or comments, thank you.”

“So, Commissioner Bartley, we can't make them, but we can suggest. I believe what I heard was they are... Do they plan to put some sort of landscaping buffer? Is that what I heard?”

“Yeah, well, good luck on through the PSC. Yeah, well, when they come to us, what was also pretty impressive, I'm sure, but on the other project we've seen, they may have the same or more, but there's like 4,650 solar panels.
