In 2020, the Village of Croton-on-Hudson released a request for proposals (RFP) for the installation of solar canopies at the Croton-Harmon Train Station parking lot. A total of seven proposals were received by the deadline. After a thorough review by the Sustainability Committee, Village staff and Village Board of Trustees, a lease agreement with Sol Systems of Washington, D.C., was approved by the Village Board of Trustees in February 2021. The project then went through numerous reviews, including by the Village Planning Board, Village Zoning Board of Appeals, Village Waterfront Advisory Committee and the New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation. Pre-mobilization for the project began in the Fall of 2022, with construction beginning in earnest in summer 2023 and being substantially completed by the end of 2024. Full lease payments began to the Village in December 2024.

Arevon (the successor company to Sol Systems) continues to work with its partners to energize the system and receive final approvals from Con Edison. It is expected that the system will be powered on by the end of October 2025.
