Municipal Solar Feasibility
Summary
A study of 22 city buildings found rooftop solar would save little money under the new fixed electric rate unless grants cover the cost. Six sites — including Fire Station 6 and a Florida Avenue building — were flagged as best bets if rates rise or funding appears, and staff will look into Community Solar.

Impact analysis
Estimated savings of about $20,000 a year at six sites — but only if grant funding covers installation costs.
Ratepayers and the city's energy resilience if grants or rising electric rates make projects viable.
