Flood waters damage Cedar Rapids solar project
CEDAR RAPIDS — The New Bohemia Solar Project did not escape the damage from the Floods of 2008. Flood waters from the Cedar River came up as high as a foot below the roof-top panels, and the inverters were completely submerged. Thankfully, SMA-America, Inc., manufacturer of the Sunny Boy inverters, is offering to inspect the inverters for free to determine if they can be salvaged. More News...
