Energy Committee discusses rooftop and ground‑mount solar for new highway building
Summary
Committee members reviewed the drafted highway building plans and identified both a southern‑facing roof for potential panels and sloping ground suitable for a ground‑mounted array; they agreed to consider an energy audit to prioritize buildings.
The committee reviewed drafted plans for the new highway building, driveway and septic system. Kevin O'Neill said the southern‑facing roof "might be able to accommodate solar panels," but added that the committee needed to confirm whether the roof can withstand the extra weight.
Robert (Bob) Irving noted there was "significant space at the property for a ground mount on the sloping portion," and urged the committee to consider both rooftop and ground installations. Members agreed that, while the new building is an obvious candidate, the committee should study all town buildings and produce a prioritized list for installations.
