The 250 kW installation covers more than an acre of land that was previously unused, and was made possible by an $850,000 Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Funds from PWD and technical help from the DOE’s Solar American Cities program also made the installation possible. The control plant will use 100 percent of the solar power generated by the array on-site.
