City of Naperville issued the following announcement on Dec. 15.
The City of Naperville received a $100,000 grant from the State of Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity for a photovoltaic system that recently was installed atop the City’s Electric Service Center at 1392 Aurora Ave.
The grant helped support the design, planning, scheduling, permitting and construction of a 160-panel fixed tilt axis solar project that will produce a minimum of 63,500 kilowatt hours per year. This annual energy production is enough electricity to power seven homes for a year.
The solar array will help offset the energy costs of the 213,000-square-foot building. The output from the array will be integrated into existing City software for display and analysis of historical and live solar electricity generation data on the City’s website.
