City of Monona’s third-party solar PV project consists of solar systems on four city buildings for a total generation capacity of 156 kW or 30% of the buildings’ electricity use. In addition to no up front costs, they are estimated to save the city $9,000 a year in utility bills. The city of Monona entered into a minimum six-year agreement to purchase the Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) of the project from the solar developer, Falcon Energy Systems, LLC, in exchange for leasing the city space required to develop the project.
