PUBLIC WORKS Solar on Public Buildings Grant City staff has been working with the State officials and the contractor to submit a final grant application. The project would place solar panels on city hall and the fire station capable of supplying up to 40 kW of AC power to city hall. Excess power will be pushed to the power grid. The project's estimated costs are around $120,000 with 60% of the costs covered by the grant, 30% by a federal tax rebate and the remaining 10% from city funds. The city should recover its investment within just a few short years, in a drastically reduced electric bill.
