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. To view this solar energy generation data, visit https://www.solrenview.com/SolrenView/mainFr.php?siteId=5407.
Similar projects were installed on two other City buildings – the Municipal Center in 2018 and the Public Works Service Center in 2019.
The City of Naperville also is offering rebates to residents who install solar panels. For more information, visit www.naperville.il.us/solar-panel-guidelines.
