New solar trackers installed for the City

New solar trackers were stood-up on Tuesday, December 5, 2023. The project has been ongoing for about a month. The trackers will go into service soon.

The new system has a small battery incorporated, which will provide backup power to City fuel pumps in the event of a sustained power outage. The energy produced will go into the grid and reduce what City Utilities have to purchase from BPA (Bonneville Power Administration).

This project was funded with $940K from the State of Oregon’s Community Renewable Energy Program. The new trackers are located in the City yard at 90 N Mountain Ave in Ashland.

Released December 11, 2023
