Public-service rooftop array producing energy, saved about $40,000 since 2021

City staff updated the Sustainability Advisory Board on the performance of the rooftop solar array at the Public Service Department. "It's a 108.8 kilowatts," staff said, noting the system was installed in fall 2021 and that the presentation lists the total project cost as $231,777, which staff confirmed after a brief transcription error during the meeting. Staff said the array includes battery storage and that a peak month in February 2024 provided nearly half of that facility's electricity demand.
