Roseville 2040 Chapter9: Resilience and Environmental Protection <br />TABLE 9-2 ROSEVILLE SOLAR RESOURCE. SOURCE: METROPOLITAN COUNCIL AND GREAT PLAINS <br />INSTITUTE. <br />This analysis estimates that the City of Roseville has enough solar reserves to <br />generate 252,346 MWh/year through rooftop solar energy (TABLE 9-2), equal to <br />approximately 61 percent of the electricity currently consumed within the city. <br />The top ten rooftops alone have enough solar resource available to meet 7 percent <br />of the electricity currently consumed within the city. This analysis does not include <br />the impact of potential energy efficiency measures or the potential for ground - <br />mount systems, which would increase the percentage of citywide electricity that <br />can be met through solar. <br />In its 2016 Community Energy Report, Xcel Energy reports that there are six on - <br />site commercial solar installations within Roseville, with a total capacity of 167 kW. <br />These installations produced 54,961 kWh in 2016. For residential, Xcel reports 39 <br />on -site solar installations with a total generating capacity of 291 kW. These <br />residential installations produced 81,976 kWh in 2016. These yields are reported <br />through Xcel's Solar*Rewards program. Many installations had been made <br />through the Made in Minnesota Program as well: 18 residential installations with <br />a total capacity of 140 kW and one commercial installation with a capacity of 39.4 <br />kW. <br />Chapter 1 Page 13 <br />
