The Office of Central Services, Sustainable
Energy is excited to announce County government’s first and largest solar carport
system is now generating clean, renewable energy at the Wayne K. Curry County
Administration Building. Solar carports are ground-mounted solar panels that
are installed above parking lots to form a carport. In addition to the benefits
of producing clean energy, solar carports provide shade and protection to
vehicles below and can reduce parking lot maintenance costs.
The solar carports are projected to produce enough clean electricity to power around 70 average size homes annually, saving the County government thousands of dollars on its electricity bill. Moreover, the solar system helps the County reduce its carbon footprint and promote resiliency in government operations. Additional solar carport systems will be installed at various county government buildings over the next 5 years.
The carport provides shading on hot summer days.
