The solar project on Hill Street entitled Bristol Solar One is showing impressive progress in the first month of installment. Construction began in early March. Here is a photo of the site taken on March 3.

As of today, Wednesday, April 21, this is current progress of the project.
The total capacity for the project, located at 399 Hill Street, will be 3.25 megawatts, which translates to 6,235 megawatt hours per year, enough to power 746 average homes.
It was estimated that the entire project would be completed in six months with a completion date in July, so it appears as if things are right on schedule.
Once operational, the City of Bristol will receive annual tax revenues from Verogy, the company building and running the site, for an estimated 20 years.
