Devonshire solar panels installed |
|
The Devonshire Cultural Center has completed its spring solar panel installation project, with 81 panels installed on the upper roof of the facility, a roof that was replaced in 2021.
The estimated electricity production of the solar panels in their first year is expected to be 41,115 kW which is approximately 8 percent of the building’s annual usage. Over time, as the Devonshire lower roofs are replaced, additional panels will be installed, which will further offset the electrical consumption of the facility.
