Sebago school committee authorizes staff to seek solar power cost estimates
Summary
The Sebago School Committee approved a motion authorizing staff to obtain cost estimates for several solar-power options — buying outright, financing, or a condominium/shared model — and to research rebates; the step does not commit the district to installation.
The Sebago School Committee voted to authorize staff to obtain cost estimates for potential solar-power options for district facilities, including outright purchase, various financing arrangements and a condominium/shared-ownership model, and to explore available rebates.
Committee members added the item to the agenda and approved the motion. Meeting discussion said the estimates are for informational purposes only and do not obligate the district to proceed with a purchase or installation. Staff described seeking multiple price points and noted potential rebates of roughly 40 percent are being investigated, but specific cost figures were not available at the meeting.
Superintendent and operations staff said they will return with cost estimates and additional detail, and any decision to move forward would require future committee approval. No formal vote tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript for the motion.
